Angelina Jolie Kills it at Kitson

cool im i firsts? finally spoted

Ha! im the first :D

Oh fabulous!! Angie is always fabulous no matter what she puts on….love the simplicity and elegance…and her intelligence! I watched her interviews over and over and just love the eloquence. This woman is a full package!!

Good job Jared and Audrey!!!

Elena

is that really you? how are you?

Happy Holidays to all BAMZS fans! I don’t think they are married or have any intention of doing so! Let them live their lives together~!

good morning all. I was wondering when these pics would show up here.
Jared - you never disappoint. Thanks =)

The Good Shepard got a five star rating on MSN movies’s page and Yahoo Movies gave it a B.

Angie’s clothes are a reflection of the new her. Simple, classy and sweet. Not girlish, but not matronly either. She seems to find the right balance in every area of her life now. Lovely hair also. When they are in L. A., they look L. A. and when they are in the poor areas of the Third World their appearance blends in their too. Cheers BAMZS…Merry C hristmas!

Well, I never thought I’d see the day where a posting of Angie would discuss the labels and cost of her clothing and accessories. She’s just not that sort of celebrity. This appeals to my base shallowness. Nice work, Jared!

COOL im off to go see the good shepherd

Happy Holidays Just Jared and all the BAMZS fans. Peace on Earth and goodwill to Man. Thanks Just Jared for all your great work. You have a great web site with a positive vibe. Keep up the good work. AJ looks great. BP and AJ have a committed relationship with three beautiful children (hopefully with more to come). I wish Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Mr. and Mrs. Pitt) all the best.

Got to go see the Good Sherperd tonight, I heard it is a good one. Can’t wait to see my girl, will check in later

I love her new look in clothing. She looks good in black but she has very good style sense and it is coming out now in this lighter look. The lighter look could also be a reflection of her own personal place. She is more light and less dark.

LOVE you ANGIE!! You are an amazing woman of the year!!

Jared & Audrey thanks for this new thread!

thank you Jared,
She looks simply radiant.

Off topic :

I heard a rumor that Britney might do an interview with Vanity Fair (imagine that) to expose the truth about her marriage. Basically, she’s out to make herself look good and paint Kevin as the bad one. Everybody knows she’s not an angel by any means.

Reminds me of you know who and her interview with VF.

Happy Holidays Estelle, U are the only person who ever responds to my post, so here’s wishing u and yours a happy and healthy holiday and New Year. BAMZS FOEVER.

Beautiful Angelina Jolie

Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to everyone. Angie looks fab! I like her this way, simple chic and glowing with vitality. She needs to shop more so we can see great pictures.

to my fellow pinays: Maligayang Pasko at sana masagana ang taon niyo!!

Tonight we’re going to the Good Shepherd movie. Can’t wait.

Jjoy, if you go to wowowee, give us a sign so we’ll know it’s you!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS BAMZS FANS MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILES HAVE A GRRRREAT AND WARM HOLIDAY. PEACE TO ALL

Can’t get nothing past you sherlock. However, did you ever think that it is the Christmas season and some people shop for gifts. Never mind, watson.

Angelina is gorgeous no matter what she wears! Lucky thing!!!!!!! She is so blessed!!! Lucky, lucky, lucky!!!

Angelina looks beautiful as usual. I like the way she smiles when she was in the store. I can’t wait to watch TGS.

well, I went to a rather large bookstore last night, and it was sold out….

When you shop at Kitson it is to be seen. She could go shopping in a lesser known shop if she didn’t want to be seen.

Jared and Audrey, may your holidays be peaceful. Thank you for the new threads. To all BAMZS fans, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
P.s.
I live on a tiny island in Florida, as to now, I have not seen a single copy. I am still waiting.

I absolutely love it when Angelina Jolie dresses up and looks polished. What if Angelina acted like the stars of old who were under contract to look glammed up whenever they stepped out the door? She doesn’t have a weight problem and looks great in her clothes, and she is one of the most beautiful women ever in Hollywood - without the makeup. Can you imagine? Too much beauty for our eyes to behold.

Angelina doesn’t have to do anything for publicity. she gets on a plane to go vacation and the cameras are there. She can’t help that.

Kitson is probably happy Angie was spotted there for sure. ; ) maybe she got some free clothing. You know celebs don’t have to pay for their clothes!

It would be a favor for the free clothing. LoL

You could go to Target and still be seen.

She could go to target and still be seen.

I though she was not interested in shopping. At least that is what her fans say.

Can’t wait to see The Good Shepherd.

Angie doesn’t seek publicity, the only reason why she’s been everywhere lately is because she’s promoting a movie. Without promotion, how do you think the movie will do? I find Brad and Angie very private, it is us, the public, who are seeking them. We can’t help but be facinated by them, by their lives and careers, by their beautiful family.

She looks elegant even when wearing something so simple. She’s happy now, why can’t we all (including a certain someone and her trolls) just let her be happy.

lol not interested in shopping, it is Christmas she has a family. Don’t most people shop for the people they love? How stupid can you be?

Everybody shop. Who told her she doesn’t?

of course she celebrates christmas with her children.

Niece Says: December 22nd, 2006 at 1:33 pm - Jeez, where did u get this from.. there are pics of Angie, Brad and Zee buying a X-mas tree last yr, which means they celebrate it….

LOL @ you for thinking the Ivy is the same as Kitson.

So, I’ve been thinking about about DT and Scarborough (I know, I’m freaked out by it too)

Obviously, one of the reason he hates Rosie because she’s a woman that won’t bow down to him. Hate her or love, y’all have to admit that she is nothing like the women he usually associates himself with. She’s outspoken, she earned her wealth, she’s smart and she’s gay. And he.. he’s is a pig, plain and simple.

But what disappoints me most is BW is afraid to ruffle his his feathers and instead of standing up for her co-worker and her friend she’s just hoping that this will all pass while Donald is milking this for all its worth. Shame on her. I don’t care how “powerful” or important DT is, no one talks sh*t about my friends and gets away with it. Seriously, I would have cut ties with him after the first round of insults but since BW is so concerned about her image, she won’t. It’s sad that someone who is a considered a “trail blazer” for women in journalism she no different than all those other “Yes women” in DT’s life.

And Scarborough, I’d hope that someone who has been through divorce himself would know that sometimes marriages fall apart. Also, since he was a politician he knows a thing or two about projecting false images to the press but I’ve over estimated him. I do pity him though, he’s going to continue to wish ill will towards the Jolie-Pitts while they’ll continue to prosper and grow as a couple and family.

God is watching , even those making out with their own sex.

She does not beleive in God , so i do not think she celebrates Christmas.

WRONG. Quit pulling lies out of your behind, hater.

I am going to see,”TGS” for sure. Merry Christmas everyone!

She is making last minute Christmas shopping like any of us. Please, Angie is only human.

I’m going to see the good shepherd today too. yay!
By the way I live in Portland and I still can’t find the Vogue. :(

Who said she does or does not believe?I have heard her reference God and Jesus in conversations before, maybe she believes in a higher power, but does not belong to an organized religion. I really don’t know. I think you should just judge people on how they are trying to live their lives, and not on the path you have chosen for yourself. Okay stepping off my soapbox.:lol:

When did being religious start to mean that we should box people into categories and judge them? How can a person be religious when they use their religion as a tool to point fingers at others? I thought being religious meant being spiritual, being kind to mankind, being chariatable, and loving.

I don’t think God ever wanted religion to be used a tool to hate on others or to point out other people’s faults. The way I see it, it should be used to better oneself, not to go around looking for faults in others, as a way to make yourself look better in the eyes of God.

——————————————————–

I totally agree Amaya! I have lost all respect for BW. She has been so disappointing throughout all of this, and other incidents. Like you say, for someone considered a ‘pioneer’ she’s amazingly mealy mouthed and weak. First the Star Jones thing (where say what you will about Star, BW IS the one who lied to her audience about the circumstances surrounding her leaving), then her trying to pretend she had a brangelina interview when she didn’t, and now THIS - trying to ride the fence, when Donald Trump is out there attempting to humiliate not only Rosie but Barbara now too. When Trump said, “That’s not true that Barbara likes Rosie, she can’t stand her, she told me so over the phone.” Then he goes on to call Rosie O’Donnell an ‘animal.’ That should have been BW’s cue to come out swinging with him….but NOTHING. Babs, much liek she did with Star, is probably trying to handle all of this behind the scenes - getting Rosie to pipe down, and kissing DT’s ass.

BW is weak, sad, and without too many convictions…..

No wonder there’s this group of women simply fascinated with AJ, they are so unlike her in terms of standing up for themselves and being their own person, they’re just in awe of here.

BW is one of them.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours family.

Amaya,

Thank you for all the update, I miss your post yesterday at the old thread…I have to go back and read the rest of the old thread. Merry Christmas to you and have a great New Year my talented friend.

Gitane,

Good morning, was that Elena?…I’m not sure, she did not response back to us?. How are you today?.

Janet,

I don’t know how well the Vogue issue are doing, but at the B&N near my house, it was sold out, I went there to get another copy for my sister tuesday and they don’t have it anymore, but expect another shipment come in this week ( that was a few days ago).

Niece——–Merry Christmas to you too. How do you know she doesn’t believe in God?….leave God out of this, you want to talk about God, go to those Christian sites and talked about how 70% of the US population has pre-marital sex and how 50% of US pop. are divorves….yeah…go there…

Wow great pictures!
And doesn’t her hair look amazing?

I won’t be seeing The Good Shepherd till February, ’cause I live in Holland :( (well, maybe a little sooner, I’ll pobably download it when a dvdrip from the US is released :p)
And I can’t find the American Vogue anywhere!

oops forgot to wish Jared and Audrey a ahppy holiday as well.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO JARED AND AUDREY

Amaya, DT’s words last night on LK just rubbed me the wrong way. It’s not even about liking Rosie, for me it’s about being a woman and having a man speak that way without any consequences. The fact that this man can sit there in all his high and mighty glory and insult a woman based on her looks, is so disturbing on so many levels. The fact that not one media person or someone in the entertainment industry has the guts to stand up to this man and tell him that he’s gone too far and his words are not acceptable is just disturbing. When you have people like LK laughing with him as he insults women left and right is so wrong. Why is this man so special that people can’t stand up to him? Why can’t BW stand up for her fellow co-host and woman? What is so great about DT that she nor anybody else wants to cross him? You know, if the president or some political figure had made such statements on a woman, they would be raked through the coals, but not when it comes to DT. You see, DT’s words against Angie were not that bad in retrospect because in as much as he called her ugly, the woman has been on countless magazine covers and photoshoots with the titles of ‘sexy’, ‘beautiful’, ‘stunning’ over and over again. Comedians made fun of him for saying that because Angie’s beauty is recognized worldwide, so what does it matter what DT thinks? For Rosie though, it’s another matter altogether. I was on another forum and was reading the reactions and some people said ‘Rosie deserves this’. No, no one deserves this, not one person. No one deserves to be called ‘ugly’, ‘fat’, ‘unattractive’ and other disgusting words over and over again on national television, especially if the person is not a beauty queen. You know, sometimes you hear the words America the great, but is it really?

Alexanderina Says:

Merry Christmas to you too Alexanderina , Have a wonderful time in London with your family.
Merry Christmas to all the wonderful fans of Brad and Angelina. They have the best fans. Lovely people attract lovely people. :)

The future MRS.PITT is dressing very well as of late. She is a beautiful woman. I think stress is to blame for her noticable weight loss.

SHE IS AN ORDINARY PERSON LIKE EVERY HUMAN BEING SHE IS SO MODEST !SO STOP!SHE ALWAYS SAYS THAT SHE WANTS A SIMPLE LIFE!SHE JUST BOUGHT SOME STUFF FOR HER KIDS ITS NORMAL FOR ANY MOTHER!SHE ALSO BLEIVES IN GOD OK,,,,,,,

From TMZ
The Jolie-Pitts are sure to have a clean Christmas this year, as Angie picked up two dozen sets of baby animal-shaped goat milk soaps from eZoetic.com. Each $14 set includes soaps in the shape of a dog, lion, fish and frog, and were developed especially for sensitive skin. Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh, you’re not in the Third World anymore!

Please, please, please, sounds like James Brown, for the coming year let’s not repsond to these silly haters. I know some of the newer people feel compelled to respond, but remember what Guli said. She has been doing this for over two years and it has worn her down. If Angelina doesn’t respond to haters let us follow her lead. They know the truth. They just need attention. Also sometimes we are going along just so well, the comments are just great, the feeling so warm, and someone will mention the X. Let’s not even mention her anymore. She is history, old history. The BAMZSer sometimes create the situation by mentioning or responding to the haters. I am not pointing fingers, just asking that we all refrain from acknowledging those who are negative. Jared, are there pictures of them in Missouri? Last year you had pictures of them purchasing a X-MAS tree. Any such luck this year? Hey remember we won. Be positive.

Ugh Says:

December 22nd, 2006 at 2:22 pm
What an attention ***** she is. Sick of her and seeing her sluty face on the net. And she’s a sorry ass excuse for a mother. Go figure she has to adopt out of the country. She’s not sane enough to adopt in the states.

Yet you have the time and energy to post on her thread.
GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND PRAY FOR THE PERSON LOOKING BACK AT YOU.
FYI
She is a great mum. You only have to look at pics of her kids to tell you that.

I live in Canada and haven’t found a single issue of Jan. Vogue ANYWHERE.

There are so many asking BEGGING for others not to respond to haters, please try to heed our request. Soon won’t nobody will even want to lurk let alone post because it’s so stupid to let them run this show when you just need to have some restraint and ignore.

I’m Begging you BAMSZ………………AGAIN!

I LOVE WHEN SHE SAYS THAT SHE AND BRAD APRECIATE EACH OTHER+THE JOY SHE FEELS WHEN SHE WAKES UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT SEEING BRAD ………………….

here is what the editor said about angelina on the Vogue cover of angelina on it:

THEIR WAY

….THe start of the year is traditionally a moment when we take stock of our situation and try to steer a new course in the months to come. This Jan, I would urge you all to gain inspiration from the wonderfully individual women you will read about in these pages. Angelina Jolie, for example, has always lived life by her own high-velocity yet family-centric rules. What is so refreshing about Jolie, who spoke candidly with Jonathan Van Meter about her relationship with Brad Pitt, is that she’s a star who is not afraid to be revealing. She knows who she is and is happy to share that with the public with no press-agent interference.”
-Anna Wintour

LOVEs It!!!!!!

For the person who says Angie does not believe in God. You are a LIAR. Angie does believe in God.

Angelina Shops, Hops on Plane?

Hot mama Angelina Jolie joined the last minute holiday shoppers on Thursday.

“Extra” spotted the beautiful superstar, who was decked out in winter white, at L.A.’s trendy Kitson Kids boutique, which is located on the uber-hip Robertson Blvd.

There the doting mom picked up goodies for her little ones at home: Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.

We’re also breaking Brangelina news, as reports surface that Brad and Angelina will spend the holidays in South Africa with Oprah, who’s opening a children’s school there!

Gitane,

Poor you, all my relatives will be over my sister’s house, so I don’t have to worry about them until Monday night, *sighed* this year Christmas eve will be at my sister and Christmas day will be at my house……My dad’s house is not a neutral area ( with the ex and ex-in law and all)….any way, my mum is here for Christmas and so is my brother. They flew in from Paris/Marseilles last week. I’m gorging on all the swiss/french chocolate Jeff de Bruges….I love their leather chocolate box.
It give you 7 reasons to eat chocolate, and who am I to argue? yeh?

1. Un ami de la Sante
2. Un retour en enfance
3. Un ” anti-coup de blues”
4. Une source d’energie
5. Un anti-stress
6. Un symbole de volupte
7. Le plaisir du gout tout simplement.

and Oh yes, please do remember that recipe. I plan to do all baking Sarturday night. We should have TGS party on the 26th, if none of us are at the mall at 6 am. ;)

Trump is a “has been” that insists that making himself “relevant” again in this era/generation that has largely forgotten him. Once upon a time the word Trump was synonymous with one of the richest men int he wold. These days that guy is Bill Gates or something. The Apprentice was not a show he agreed to do because it was a savvy business adventure. It was a show he wanted to do because it showed off and reminded people his “power” and wealth. Now that the Apprentice is not doing that for him as much anymore, he is glomming on to the people that grabs headlines like Angelina and Rosie (who for all her faults, you gotta credit with for making ‘The View’ appear in the news every couple of days) and like a true parasite is trying to siphon off attention by attacking them.

Cliniqua, I agree that Walters’ reaction to Trump’s tirades have been disappointing and weak. With the wealth and prestige she has earned over the years, it is surprising that she will be so meek before a man who everyone knows has a bad hairpiece and is a living joke on humankind.

Estelle

as if i need 7 reasons to eat chocolate! i’m an addict. i’ve gotta have it every day. dark chocolate (my favorite) has anti-oxidants, and it has fiber, too. so basically, my chocolate habit is medicinal. at least, that’s what i tell myself…

a TGS party sounds good, but i don’t know if i’ll be on the computer much in the next couple of weeks. holiday parties, relatives, packing, traveling, birthday, yada yada yada. but that doesn’t mean the rest of you can’t celebrate without me around. :)

voila!c’est jolie!

You are right………no need an excuse to eat chocolate. I love dark chocolate too….there was a study ( amazing yes, there is an actual study from Harvard that chocolate is good for you), but you have to eat them at 70% or more on Cocoa, for dark chocolate lovers like us, that is perfect, most of my dark chocolate bar are at least mim. 70% to 78%, any higher than that, it’s start to be a little bitter for me.

yeah right!angie doesn’t believe in GOD,and yet she is a humanitarian….duh!that poster was a $hit!eat your $hit!

Damon, who continues to mature as an actor with each role, affects a perfect, stilted sort of emotional availability playing Wilson — seeking desperately to connect with his friends, and later, his wife Clover (Angelina Jolie) and son Edward Jr. (Eddie Redmayne), but fearing or even expecting inevitable betrayal. Wilson is a man who prizes loyalty and honesty, but cannot practice either, and Damon suppresses all of his natural charisma to find the brooding button-pusher lurking underneath.

Meanwhile, the rest of the cast is more than prepared for the film’s atmosphere of misdirection and mystery. De Niro returns to form playing the man who sends Wilson on his career path; Hurt handles the responsibility of tempting and fulfilling Wilson’s worst fears as his father-figure boss Philip Allen; and Jolie brings fire and life to Clover, Wilson’s long suffering wife. While the actress seems most capable of playing sexpots and eccentrics, here she discovers Clover’s own concealed motives to cling desperately to a man she knows does not truly love her.

Ultimately, the majority of the credit for this tale goes to screenwriter Eric Roth (Munich) and director De Niro, who provide an unflinching portrait of the sacrifices government agents make to preserve our way of life: The cost of democracy, Roth and De Niro suggest, is perhaps no less than our very humanity.

At the same time, the film is not so much political as it is harrowingly emotional; whichever side of the political spectrum you fall, there is an undeniable power to Wilson’s slow self-destruction. All of which renders the film not only profound, but genuinely important. In other words, The Good Shepherd isn’t a movie you should see, but one which you must.

I know what you mean. Maddox jumping on the bed, Z being dramatic about something (she is the queen of the castle afterall) and little Shiloh ‘having a moment’ and yet they know they are a few of the lucky once out there. I think its the reason why I just love them so much because they are genuinely happy.

72% is as high as i go. i’m tempted to go through my checkbook and figure up how much money i’ve spent at Godiva Chocolatier this year. i’m sure it’s an embarrassing amount. i can only hope i haven’t spent more on chocolate than i’ve donated.

thanks for the reviews of TGS. it feels like i’ve been looking forward to seeing this movie forever. and i still have to wait {{stomps foot}}! but never fear, deniro & co. will be getting my $8 very soon.

I just love my fellow BAMZSers. You people are the best.
Happy Holidays to you all!

You guys must be joking! She looks like hell in that white get-up! The top has no business being NEAR that skirt, her arms are too skinny for that oversized blouse, the whites dont mesh, the boots look rediculous with the whole thing etc….She obviously needs help from a stylist because her style is just not working at all! She would look 10x better if she just wore jeans and a t-shirt with those boots. Just not workin at all!!!

The second outfit is hot though!! Maybe the baby spit-up on her original blouse and she borrowed her mothers blouse just to do some shopping??? Kinda strange to see her at Kitson.

Than you wouldnt have anyone to talk to.

FELLOW BAMZS, lets support Angie and watch TGS. I’m going to watch it with my hubby tomorrow coz I’m working tonight. The opening weekend is very important.

I like your stories. You manage to blend humor and an uplifting message at the same time. Keep them coming.

okay, Ot but this is addressed to Cliniqua: Just saw your reply on the other thread. I had already left the board so wasn’t able to address this.

If I were the only one on this board who admits to being a Republican, I still wouldn’t care for your attitude. Please don’t condescend, don’t patronize and don’t try your bullish tactics with me. We are here for the same reason, we are fans. Your politics is yours, mine is mine. Don’t act like you own the site, ok? I am not a faniston that will cower to you.

So in the spirit of Christmas, let’s just let this go. But don’t ever, ever try the queen bee thing with me. It grates, you know?

Look at this excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Andrews_%28comics%29:

“Initially, when Archie was known as “Chick”, he was trying to woo the girl next door Betty Cooper for his object of affection. Initially, Betty only considered him as an annoying red head neighbour. When Veronica came to Riverdale, “Chick” switched his attention to her, leading Betty to jealousy. She then tried to win “Chick”’s affection back…Betty and Veronica fighting over ArchieArchie says in many occasions and stories that he considers Betty to be his best friend, someone that he can confide in, and is more comfortable with her. But on other occasions, he likes going on a date with Betty. Even when Jughead asked him whether he likes kissing Betty, Archie blushly answered yes. With Betty sporadically dating Jason Blossom currently, he shows a tinge of jealousy. Archie also admitted on several occasions that whenever he wants to have his ego lifted up, he comes to Betty who will shower him with affection.

Archie also considers Veronica to be his girlfriend. Beautiful, stylish, and not to mention one of the richest girls in Riverdale, Veronica can easily manipulate him, and although he sometimes realizes it, he cannot do anything about it. Archie is always fighting for her affection, especially with other boys and his main rival, Reggie Mantle. Archie admits for some unexplained reason that Veronica can always take control over him. Sometimes he can be his own man, sometimes he can’t (variants of this revelation exist as a result of differing writers)”

Sounds vaguely familiar?…fun stuff!

Thanks for the lovely christmas story, grandma!

Grandma, I just love your posts and stories of your life. Keep them coming. I can just see this little boy, with BIG dark eyes trying to suss out Santa Claus!

I have a million and one last minute things to do, and wanted to wish all BAMZS fans a wonderful Christmas or whatever you celebrate and a Happy New Year to all. ITA with all who suggest that we try a little harder not to engage the “critics” — though I confess, I had to leave the area for a few minutes due to “Neice” — as that type of person is among my most despised. I did it though, and so can the rest of us — every now and then, we’ll sic Cliniqua on them though — because I just enjoy her “damn you” posts so fricking much! :lol:

OMG Lola and Joy! I SO remember Archie comics — I always liked Veronica too (more than Betty anyway) :lol: Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!

Yeah I liked Veronica better too Original Curious. Perhaps we should put up a poll, see which Archie girl people preferred and see if there is a correlation to being an Angelina or Aniston fan. Joy might have hit upon a social conditioning effect at play here :)

Before I forget…

I WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU AND YOURS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I am singing along to my favorite Christmas CD — The Jackson 5. (Sing with me now… We Wish You A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Kind of off-topic

My guyfriend Zane, he loves the Jolie-Pitts, although he was an Angelina fan first. What struck about him is, he said that Angie did “The honorable thing by adopting first because there are so many kids in this world that need a home.” That’s the first time I’ve heard that come from a guy. Now don’t get me wrong, he’s not against those who choose to have children biologically because he has friends that are parents, but I think what he said was similar to what Angie said during her GMA interview. There’s a very extensive procedure when it comes to adoption but any woman can get pregnant.

He doesn’t really keep up w/ gossip as much as I do lol but during 2005 he told me, “Ya know, I never believed the whole cheating rumor because anyone can see that they were having trouble way before he even met Angelina. And, since I’ve married and divorced (once) I know that some marriages just fall apart. I have nothing against Jennifer but her and her people need to stop trying to “one up” Brad and Angie in the gossip columns” :lol:

My reaction?

“I love you man.”

I will go see TGS because I just love Matt and like Angie.

I don’t loke that dress but she is beautiful as always.

I have, I bought two yesterday… downtown Toronto.

Grandma–Nah, we’re not knowledgeable–we all just love BAMSZ.

The NY Times gave it a good review - here’s Angie’s part….once again, as these critics have a habit of doing with Angie, they confuse the character with the real life woman playing the part - it’s quite bizarre, and says a lot about the psychology of us (collective)..that some people aren’t able to NOT see her as a ‘force of nature,’ especially when she plays a woman that’s not so well, even they admit. Odd. Read on….

EXCERPT: Whatever its true nature, the friendship hurt Mr. Angleton’s marriage, as he later admitted: “Once I met Philby, the world of intelligence that had once interested me consumed me. The home life that had seemed so important faded in importance.”

That spells trouble for Ms. Jolie, alas, who after her spectacular entrance has to spend most of the film as the aggrieved, abandoned wife. It is not a good fit. A force of nature, Ms. Jolie reads more believably when she’s running through the jungle in boots and a bikini, as she does in the “Tomb Raider” flicks, than when standing on the sidelines in a domestic nightmare. But stand and screech and gamely slosh the booze she does while Mr. Damon’s spy helps win the war and later helps turn the C.I.A. into a shadow empire with some dependable character actors: Mr. De Niro as one of the agency’s founders, the dependably great Alec Baldwin as an F.B.I. agent and an equally fine William Hurt as the pipe-smoking head of the C.I.A.

——————————————-

Anyone else find it odd to, how some people don’t hesitate to fall back on ‘Tombraider,’ which everyone knows is a video game character, one that AJ embued with much life true, but a game babe nonetheless - you would have thought they would at LEAST reference Jane Smith from ‘Mr and Mrs Smith, since that film was huge around the world, and she was excellent in it, even showing up Brad frequently in the reviews….the film and her performance is destined to become iconic, so you’d think they’d use THAT as an example of a ‘force of nature’ role she excelled at…but they go back 5 years to TombRaider? Am I reading too much into this? Or are there others who also see it as a way to demean her career and body of work by harkening back to a movie and part based on a video game, that’s a good 5-6 years old?

Hey AG, happy holidays to you.

I used to tell my mum, if God want us to cook why most of the chef are men?…she came back…because most of the men steal their mother’s recipes to make a profit, while the women just passed it on to their daughters to get a husband………So I promised her that I will learn how to cook to get a man…( *wicked sense of humor*) …..she said no….just find one that knows how to cook…. ( wth was that all about)….twisted our psyche our mum…*sighed* she’s killing me. ( that woman can’t cook a pot of soup, but she sure know how to get the men and have them cook for her).

Well, they did the same for Robert De Niro, they’ve always compare him to the Godfather’s character or worst the character in the movie ” The Taxis Driver”. In real life, he’s a shy, quiet and very sweet person.

I don’t know if he would lol Besides, work has been keeping him very busy which is good and bad. Obviously he’s getting more money but since he’s out on the road it gives him a lot of alone time which has made it hard for him to quit smoking.

But he did say this when her and Brad were at the world economic forum and I blogged about it.
Thank god for my update that I have been waiting so patiently for! Allegedly, she is amazingly beautiful as a pregnant woman! Cheers to setting the bar high for Hollywood power couples!

He jokingly said allegedly because I wrote “Allegedly she is due….” :)

I don’t think it is demeaning or a slight to Angelina, quite the contrary. They find her larger than life, so a fearless cartoonish heroine is just the ticket. And Lara was the Superman of our generation.

That’s shocking Kearnie, that’s exactly where I got mine… on my way home. I live in the Esplanade. Also, I went to Coles as well in Commerce Court… I work in the First Canadian Place. Small world. Wow!

Hey there….

Can I say something…

I am a fan of ‘The Real Tita’
I am a fan of ‘Cliniqua’

this is a BAMZS site for all people from all background, countries, education, with different religious/political beliefs etc etc…

let’s keep the vibe positive….It is what makes this site enjoyable.

Merry Christmas you all from Canada.

Saw TGS this morning at the 11am show….the 1145 show was sold out when I purchased my ticket. The showing I went to was packed but was not sold out. This movie appeals to the older thinking crowd, judging by the folks that were at my showing.
.
The movie is long but it is haunting in the same way that Babel made you think way after you have left the movie theatre. It tears at you in some parts and one part for me was absolutely heartbreaking. Our girl Angelina is so different in this role…..and Matt Damon is really intense. I’d like to see Angie take on a wide range of roles and I think she will “mix it up” like she said on Larry King. Yhe the reviewers would not keep “boxing” up into one type of genre…….

CCCC - OMG!!!! small world indeed. :lol: :lol:

Here is a funny story….

so I buy the new People with the family picture at the Chapters@Yonge/Eglinton…I go into Starbucks to buy a latte and place the magazine on the counter for a sec(had to get my money). The cashier goes…

O.M.G - Did you see the pictures! The BIG of Shiloh. ….It is on page….
So cute, she got her mom’s lips and her dad’s eyes. OMG, did you see the lashes. Beautiful baby beautiful…

O.M.G. - Look at Zahara. Beautiful skin Beautiful beauty beauty. OMG, Brad is going to hire a guard for these two girls.

…I was trying not to say much because there were 2 people behind me looking at us strangely.

:lol: :lol: -

Always nice to meet fans at random.

Thought I’d bring this post over from the old thread, as I put it up in the wee hours this morning, and thought maybe some had not seen yet.

It’s the section on Brad & Ange from Life & Style which I transcribed…and it’s very sweet and positive - so I bought it! My scanner is down, so I don’t have the pics…but the copy is yummy:

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!”

Fabulous (not new) pic of Maddox here:

http://www.x17online.com/

Question for the loyal BAMZSers: Didn’t I read (more than a year ago now) that the W Mag spread was going to be made into a photo book? Am I remembering wrong? If not, does anyone have any insight into who’s publishing it and when??

happy holidays, y’all!

Hehehe, I would if I owned him.

Gussie, Zane isn’t European lol But he is a reasonable man. Although he’s been missing my blogging about BAMZS. Hee :)

Oh last night one of my closest friend from up north was down here for a seminar, he came over for dinner, we were talking about life and work…any how, he said to me ” in my next life time, I want to be Angelina Jolie or someone like her…beautiful, smart, sexy and love by everyone….” I was almost falling down laughing so hard. I told him that he has Brad’s envious syndrome.

Thanks Gussie for the picture, hey Madd has the same chain necklace like Brad.

Saw the first showing of TGS. Was ½ full which is strange for a Friday and during work hours! Yes, like Babel, its an older thinking crowd. Mostly guys by the way because its CIA, security stuff. I was happy with the movie and I love seeing Angie on the big screen and her range as an actress. Don’t want to put out any spoilers as I know a lot haven’t seen it as yet. Please go see. It’s worth the price.

Joy, Joy: Yes you may have solved this riddle. I love Archie comics and I purchase them even still today. I always preferred Veronica even though she is mean. So who is Jughead? George Clooney perhaps….Mr. Weatherbee – Michael Douglass or Donald Trump…heheheheh….fanfic anyone….LOL

I am glad she isn’t hiding anymore. People complained when she wasn’t seen and the same people will complain and criticize when she is. They are just addicted to complaining so I say great for her going out and living HER life.

I think she looks lovely in these pictures. You can tell she is in a good place in her life. Something I wish for everyone.

I’m sure if we put our heads together we can figure something out ;)

OC, AG, stardust and Estelle, expect a “Mean Boys” update tonight. It’s a really crazy one :)

I must admit the nosy part of me wants to know what Brad & Angelina are getting each other for Christmas

did you guys saw that Angie weres her watch on the right hand not on the left? maybe its not a watch

i’m betting they spend it in malibu again, maybe with Angelina’s mom and brother.

Chanel,

Angelina is a southpaw…meaning she is left handed……some lefties wear their watch on their right hand….

Just popping in to wish each and all a safe, joyful, happy and fun holiday “however you choose to spend it.” I’m sick as a dog right now, and lets just say “I surpassed the Jerry Seinfeld’s black & white cookie record by 10yrs and was going for the Guiness, but my body had other ideas………I never knew *it* could fly that far!

Anyway, I also just saw that Jolie-Pitt’s Shiloh made the #1 story in ET’s poll, and that was very VERY validating.

Migh be back later if I’m feeling a little better.

jpf

HAPPY HOLIDAYS guys!!! and to my kababayans–maligayang pasko and manigong bagong taon [pss I always thought it was maligong, dunno why :roll: ]

Anywho, thanks j@red for the new pics. I love her radiant smile..love it, love it, love it!! Imma go see TGS tomorrow..ooh i cannot wait. Oh j@red she is already a Mrs. Pitt in my heart. :-D

damn i cant see her movie cause its rated R :(

I was thinking this also until I remembered they’ve moved to the gated Los Feliz digs. It’s a spread, and I have a vibe that Angelina had a blast decorating that one for the first time. I hope we find out like last year when they bought the tree.

jpf

Briseis,

I saw that Ben Lyons review of GS too……couldn’t believe he wished there was guns with silencers added for him to enjoy more…go figure….

Anyway ITA w/ him that Angelina need work more……reviewers said the same thing about her appearance in Alexander….

I think now that she has a partner to help juggle film schedules with, she may be taking more substantive roles that will highlight her great screen presence. I think she is taking that step with her role in “A Mighty Heart” and “Atlas Shrugged”. She will be getting more roles you can bet on it….

Sorry if this is kinda off topic and I’m sure that many of you have already seen this - but I came across this “Famous” video (similar to THS on E) - liked the very beginning (esp. Paltrow’s words about Angelina) - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6443046181636771023&q=Jolie

———————————————————————————-
I think that Ben Lyons belongs to that generation that loves the “shoot shoot bang bang” type of movies (think James Bond) rather than the contemplative, thinking movies — I know my son would NEVER sit through TGS, but he loves all the shoot-em type movies.

Anyway, isn’t it great about those comments re Angelina’s great screen presence? I really don’t want to go there, but isn’t it that’s the complaint about her-who-shall-not-be-named — that she doesn’t have a great screen presence (not in the mold of comedy actresses like Sandra B, Julia R or Reese W)? I watched parts of TBU (sorry, my son rented it, and I didn’t want the rental money to go to waste) and man, that was sheer torture, not much chemistry, no great screen sparkle, to me just one dead movie, am so surprised it actually made money!

Angelina is first and foremost, an artist. She GROWS. This past year has been such a turmoil for her in her personal life; new partner, two new children, steady home life. She will internalize all this and make it a great resource for her future work as an actress. But it will take a bit of time. The point is, she is not stopping to grow as a person, and she is open to changing her ways of life to the better. I foresee a lot of great acting growth happening in her career, as well as for Brad. He also had to go through a major life change in the past year, and all for the better. TGS, Babel is just the beggining you guys. Let’s support them and enjoy these actors growing as artists for the years to come, together!

Merry X-MAS everybody and Happy Holidays! May God bless each and every one of you and the JPs.

OMG AMAYA! it’s a CLASSIC! Just fabulous!!!! thank you.

So Joy:

people talk about politics (including you), about Darfur, about donations for Global Action for Children here on this site right? even jared was trying to get people into it.. isn’t this what angelina is all about after all — the reason — above many all, why people fell in love with this woman?

so i still wonder why you came and insulted me on an earlier thread for innocently trying to help find a second person for that poor woman’s cause.. oh, don’t worry, i’ll get over it :)

excuse the grammer mistakes and all, i’m a non-native speaker after all and have a very happy holiday.

Oops I mean this is a Jolie thread…..

Angelina Jolie opens up for the first time

By Ruben V. Nepales
Inquirer
Last updated 00:24am (Mla time) 12/22/2006

Published on Page G1 of the December 22, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

LOS ANGELES — “No comment” or “I will not answer that” never flowed from the famous bee-stung lips.

In our first press conference with Angelina Jolie since the media maelstrom stirred by her relationship with Brad Pitt, we kept expecting her to say “Sorry, that’s too personal,” but the actress answered all questions. She was very straightforward — no hesitation whatsoever.

Our guess is that once Angelina decided to be interviewed again after almost two years, she girded herself to face the queries and reply to them candidly and spontaneously. She was unflappable in this exchange held at a Park Avenue hotel, even when a mob of paparazzi appeared by the window of the function room. The guys proceeded to train their lenses on her, even though there was a sheer curtain framing the window. Angelina simply (and very subtly) turned her face away from the window while responding to questions.

Hotel guards were eventually summoned. They were able to bring down a shade that completely blocked the view of the paparazzi. It was the first time we experienced such a commotion in this particular hotel room. New Yorkers or tourists usually don’t notice ongoing press cons with stars but, occasionally, a passerby would happen to glance at the room and see a star seated in front of reporters. That person usually would stop (a smile invariably accompanies recognition of a celebrity) and gawk for a few seconds and move on. Or a pedestrian would do a double take and then take a few steps backward to ogle … and then walk away.

But Angelina is such hot copy these days — hence, the sudden intrusion of a gang of photographers. We’re glad though, that despite the heavy media scrutiny since she hooked up with Brad, she is — now that she has begun speaking to the press again — still as frank and accommodating as ever. We love her candor. What we’ve also liked since we first interviewed Angelina is her non-generic quality. There is something different about her — a hint of daring, danger, a provocative spirit lurking beneath that gorgeous exterior.

People often ask me who is the most beautiful actress I have interviewed. I always answer, Angelina Jolie. With her beauty, intelligence, compassion for the downtrodden around the world, especially children, and that gutsy quality about her, who can blame Brad for falling in love with her?

We hope, though, that Angelina tries to gain more weight. At this press con, she looked a bit gaunt. But the fire in her eyes and the petulant lips were still very much in evidence.

The film that made her come out and face the press again is “The Good Shepherd,” the second directorial job of the great actor, Robert De Niro (whom Angelina and people close to him call Bob). Matt Damon stars as a Yale graduate who is a member of the secret Skulls and Bones Society (US President George W. Bush and former President George Bush, both Yale alumni, are members) and becomes a pivotal character in the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Angelina, blonde in this film as the WASP-y wife of Matt Damon’s intelligence agent, suffers in her marriage to a man who is professionally sworn to secrecy. She and Matt age from young college students to parents in this drama set in the 1930s and 1940s.
Richard Holbrooke, whom Filipinos remember as the US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs during the People Power Revolution in the Philippines, is quoted in the film’s production notes as saying, “‘The Good Shepherd’ is a fictionalized version of history which is accurate in almost every incident.”

Robert De Niro himself appears in the movie, along with a supporting cast that includes Alec Baldwin, William Hurt, Timothy Hutton, Billy Crudup, Michael Gambon, Joe Pesci and John Turturro.

When a colleague of ours prefaced his question by teasing Angelina with, “We haven’t seen you in a couple of years. Anything been going on?” she joked back, “Nothing at all.” Of course, the whole world knows that the last two years have been tumultuous, but fulfilling, period in Angelina’s life: She and Brad adopted an Ethiopian baby, named Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt and she gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt (father is Brad). Jennifer Aniston’s ex-husband has also legally adopted Cambodian Maddox, fondly called by Angelina as “Mad” and whom she first adopted in 2002.

It is said that one of the qualities that attracted Brad to Angelina is her passion to increase awareness of and aid for countries torn by conflicts, disease and other problems. This dedication to help the less fortunate, reportedly inculcated in her by her mother, French actress Marcheline Bertrand (who is battling cancer), led to Angelina’s appointment as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

The UN volunteer work and her film projects (she recently shot a movie on slain journalist Daniel Pearl in India) make Angelina travel often as it is but, on her own, she also likes to fly her small plane. She has earned both US and UK pilot licenses (the latter one was harder to get, she told us).

At the press con, Angelina, wearing a taupe silk dress, often clasped her hands (we’re always struck by her long, slim fingers), put her arms on the table and leaned forward as she fielded questions.

We haven’t talked to you in almost two years. Can you recap the high points in your personal journey in the last couple of years?

The high points are the obvious. My coming together with Brad; Brad and Maddox coming together; and Zahara coming into our family. The low or scarier point was when Zahara got sick. Her surviving that was a high point. My having a baby (Shiloh) and now her personality is coming out—it’s fun. It’s great to see all three kids together.

On a professional level, this film was wonderful to work on. That I’ll be working a lot less and spending a lot more time at home was a welcome decision at the end of the day.

And you have been going on these missions for the UN.

I’ve been working for the UN for five years now. I have been involved with projects in Cambodia for four years. I’m still pushing for different bills in Washington and they haven’t gone through. We have a new Congress. Maybe they will (pass those bills).

I’m trying to educate myself more to be able to handle discussions on issues better and not just be emotional about them. I would try to actually deal with them on a stronger level and make some changes.

As I’m looking at you from the side, you and Brad could be brother and sister.

Well, thank God we’re not (laughter).

Even in your voice and the way you respond to questions.

Oh, no. Really?

Do you think your relationship is based on the fact that you are alike?

You know, it’s funny. When we first came together, everybody commented on how different we were. So now it’s funny to hear somebody comment on how similar we are. Oh my God, I think you’ve scared me into thinking we’re starting to be that couple that morphs (starts looking like each other). We are very different in many ways — certainly in the way he is at home and the way I am at home. But we balance each other quite well.

Can you give an example of how different you are?

He’s very methodical and takes time with things. I’m very impulsive like on a decision we made yesterday. But (when we travel), he packs at the last minute while I pack three days ahead with all the kids’ stuff and five different things. I like to organize each moment of our travel but he likes to be more (spontaneous). But we appreciate each other. We need it. I need to be not so crazy about things.

(More on Sunday)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I’m happy you did get over it. Go back and reread my post. When you first “appeared” I asked if you were serious because “we” were not intimate with AJ and in the same post I offered where you could go to for assistance. You came back with a nasty reply along the lines of “oh I thought you all knew her personally”. At any rate, this has no bearing on being attacked personally based on someone else’s poor behavior. If you had came back at with a sincere response from the get go I would have simply apologized for thinking you were someone trying to be funny. AJ has stated previously that she prefers people to go through one of her charitable sites when inquiring about her help in that regards. I hope you at least took my advice for seeking her assistance because I was being sincere when I attempted to point you in that direction.

As far as making grammatical errors I wouldn’t worry about it because English is my 1st language and I still make mistakes. You will more than likely find a few in this post. :oops:

Oh excuse my bad manners messenger–me thinks this is an alias ;)

For most part, I agree with your sister because my older sister suspected that her man was cheating. So much that she even followed him and she was right. Of course, there are always exceptions.

I believe JA knew that were having problems or were in some of kind of a rut. But unlike those other times, Brad didn’t just ride this one out with her. As far as her friends…they only know what they see and what she tells them which is obviously going to be biased.

When it came to my sister being cheated on, NO ONE outside of the relationship saw it coming because he was such a stand up guy, they had a daughter and they had been through a lot together. But he cheated on her and it wasn’t just sex. He would leave her, and their child to spend time with his mistress and her child (it’s not his). When my sister called him out, he was actually holding his mistress’s kid and told my sister to “keep her voice down” because she was “upsetting the baby” So, not only did he betray her but also their daughter. It was the worst thing he could ever done and we didn’t see it coming at all.

I imagine that JA and her friends were exactly like us when they found out, except my sister doesn’t candy coat things when it comes to her flaws. However, he did try to pin it on her because during that time she had gone back to work and for once in their relationship, he wasn’t the focus. Now, she had a child to take care of and he didn’t like being #2. So, he found a woman that treated him like a God and had no qualms leaving her husband/father of her child for him.

So, I’ll take B for $200, AG :)

In Showbiz tonight, they called Brangelina on of the fairytale couples of 2006, imagine that? everyone is jumping on the Brangelina Banwnagon.

Dear Just Jared…

Isn’t it funny that “Ms. Mother Earth” runs around the world trying to save orphans from poverty and cries at evey UN meeting because refugees have no where to lay their heads and can’t have a decent meal.

And she’s running around town in a $2,100 outfit, possibly more if you count the designer shades/purse.

I wonder how many people in Africa with AIDS she could have supplied with much needed drugs. Oh I know:

200 pregnant women to prevent the transmission of HIV
from mother to child and a year’s worth of school materials
and daily hot meals for a child orphaned by AIDS.

P.S. Neither outfits are all that to be worth what she paid for them.. She could of bought similar outfits at Goodwill and helped people on both ends.

Oh well yawn….

Good holiday all! I hope you buy some (RED)…

Are you serious? He was holding his mistress child and told your sister to keep her voice down. Okay…that’s just COLD! He is obviously immature…..to be jealous of your own child?! I find that baffling on many levels, first off I can’t understand why any man will fill like 2nd class citizen to their own child and secondly, he left her for someone with a child. So…what’s the difference…if he wanted to be the center of attention, why didn’t he look for someone without a child? I think he only used that as an excuse to make you sister feel bad.

It’s understandable that people outside the relationship can be blindsided by it…but like you said, your sister suspected. With my brother, no one was surprised when he said they he was getting divorced. We were all like “Hun…wish we could say we didn’t see that coming”….lol (alright, I know that sounds cold but you had to be there).

I kinda thought I’d enjoy this holiday break but it’s turning to be a pain…visiting family, people in need of attention…it interferes with my blogging time. BRB….now, no one go to bed….I mean it. I can feel one of my insomnia bouts coming on.

sherpa?

Wow, an insult and compliment rolled up in one. You are good. I must admit when I first read I thought you were meaning to say sheriff (only because you said you were not a native). You got me pegged eh?

I guess it fits. I come from a large family and have always been looked at as the “go to” person. Sometimes it is daunting but I will admit that my maternal instincts go into overdrive.

I try to use it for the good as I teach the youth ministry at my church and volunteer with the local outreach center and various nursing homes. So yeah, you assessment fits. :-)

Bill+Melinda Gates=HEROES
A lot of Hollywood celebrities get free gifts from designers and manufacturers because they get free advertisement. It’s a give and take situation. I was watching CNBC and the CEO of UGGS said they gave Pamela Anderson a pair of Ugg boots and when she was photographed running around in her Uggs their sale skyrocketed and the brand became popular. A lot of designer wear that famous celebrities wear are given to them free because they could generated a lot of ad for the products.

Hey Stupid ….You do know that Bill and Melinda are BILLIONAIRES. Live the life of BILLIONAIRES with expensive clothes, private jets, mansions all over the world. I wonder how many people could be save if they just gave away all their money today? Oh that is a stupid thing to request but yet your post wants to hold Angelina to that standard.

African Girl:
I’ll go with number one. Let me answer it this way she was not interested in her marriage to Brad Pitt, but she was interested n her marriage to BRAD PITT (movie star). The reason I say this is because I read some interviews of hers and the things she talks with joy is for instance going to the dentist and having a dental hygienist call her MRS BRAD PITT. I always thought, she was such a smug *****. If she was interested in Brad Pitt, the man she would understand the things that move him outside of Hollywood. His architecture, the need to give back , his Buddhist leanings etc., instead she ridiculed these parts of Brad. Her statement in Vanity Fair - now I can have a comfortable couch shows exactly what she thought of him. Similarly, her refusal to acknowledge him when she won the Emmy attest to this side of her. This is a public forum, and yet she emasculated him by not thanking him. Can you imagine the kinipshit her fans would have had if Brad said ’she was not the love of his life.’ What I am saying is that these statements and behaviors come from a lack of respect for Brad, the man. Clearly, her association with BRAD PITT (movie star)was a much more beneficial role, he was her arm candy - the thing that she knows all her friends and women in general wanted BUT she was the one who had him. Unless it was for show she did not seem interested. How could you not visit your man while he was filming out of the country for howver many months? Not only that, did they have a sex life? Did she even like sex? Because if I had a man as attractive as Brad, I would be all over him like white on rice, because I would not be able to get enough of him. And although I am not the jealous type, I would be on set giving it to him so much that the he would not even know Angie’s name.
But as we know she did not do that. This tells me she was not interested in her marriage or cared enough about her marriage to Brad Pitt. All her tears are about losing BRAD PITT(movie star) not Brad Pitt (of Missouri, interested in architecture).

African Girl, there’s more to the story. I know it’s going to sound unreal too because I watched this unfold I had to reassure myself this was really happening. So, here’s what happened after my sister dumped him. Him (my sister’s ex) and his mistress pushed her child onto her ex-husband. Then they lived together, and had twin boys. Afterwards, he cheated on HER! The woman (who I’ll call Ms. Psycho) actually has a child but instead of taking responsibility she made her parents take legal custody of her daughter while she ran off to another state where she then met and had an affair with my sister’s ex.

His first mistress, leaves him with the twins and moves 3,000 miles away to California. Ms. Psycho moves in. Then they live with his longtime best friend who is a total push over. So much that, him and Ms. Psycho leave the twins and as they’re stepping out the door they say “Oh watch the twins we’ll back in a few hours…” She’s obviously not going to ignore them so she cares for them and her own kid too every single day. Sadly, months later one of the twin boys dies of Sudden Infant Death. During this time my sister’s ex tried to not pay my sisters child support (by working under the table)even though after the initial breakup he agreed to it w/out any complaints. My sister called him out, his precious car was taken away and the child support that owed was take directly out of his account until he got a real job. For a long time she was the bread winner. This of course pissed her off. So for the past 8 years she has proceeded to act like an 8th grader by prank calling my sister, sending her e-mails, and recently has taken her hate to blogging.

Now she claims that most of her anger is over the child support scam that my sister called them out on but according to her own parents who have met my parents…..he’s not willing to give her a biological child because he has one foot out the door until someone better comes along….even though they’re married. So not even a legally binding contract is tying him down. To me, that proves that a marriage license doesn’t stop anyone from acting a fool.

Sorry I got distracted but I really wanted to think about your theories. In Jen’s case I will say a little A and B. She had to be more than a little aloof to not understand and react to her husband’s needs and she appears to be a follower and constantly seeking approval from the masses.

As far as a woman’s intuition. Speaking from personal experience it is on the money. Really don’t want to go there with reliving the past not to mention that my scenario had a interfering mother in law but I felt it in my gut when it happened. It was so painful I was standing in the grocery store reaching for an item when it hit me. I immediately went to my friends house and called him where he was 300 miles away. He at least was honest but due to my bullheadedness when I left him and the den of the in laws I opened myself up for it. Not to say that he was not responsible for his own actions but a woman should never leave her man alone for an extended period when there are serious unresolved issues.

Lesson learned and I moved on. Funny, I was a wife done wrong yet I still love the union of the JPs. I just will never understand the logic of the haters.

Sounds like someone needs to be nutured…

How is your sister and niece/nephew doing?

I went to see THE GOOD SHEPHERD today.
The movie was pretty good .There just wasnt
enough Angie in the movie.She takes over a
screen when shes on it .I think the movie would have
benefitted from having her play a more intricate part
in the movie.

You can’t stay away from you spouse for months on end, and expect to have a solid marriage. Brad and JA spent more time apart than they did together in their marriage. That is not good, it is not healthy. I heard when Brad was filming Troy, he was gone for over 6 months, and she only visited him one time, what the hell was she thinking. You have a husband and a hot one like Brad and you spend months and months on end away from him. That was not a marriage at all.

Now imagine how many problems in the world Bill and Melinda Gates would be able to solve if they gave up all their expensive clothes, their houses and all their possessions that are worth $53 billion. Although he said in an interview that he wished that he were not the richest man in the world, stating that he disliked the attention it brought, I don’t think he is planning to give away his things like that. They gave away billions of dollars, helped many people but I’m not aware that they gave up their life style (expensive houses, clothes, computers, jewellery…), I don’t think they are living in some modest house, in some modest suburb, wearing inexpensive clothes, using the most basic and inexpensive technology available.

I think Brad married X with the expectation that they would start a family within the first few years of marriage; frankly, I don’t think he would have gotten married otherwise. A pregnancy was written into Friends, for god’s sake. But X got a taste of red carpet glory as Mrs. Brad Pitt and couldn’t let go of it; she really thought she was headed for some memorable movie career and was willing to let her marriage languish while she made a string of lousy movies. Fool.

That’ s right ! As a wife, JA definitely knew the divorce was coming, but she acted like an innocent victim shock at what happen. that’s pure BS. only the stupid would believed it.

Some TGS reviews:

Outstanding cast. Matt Damon proves himself among the elite. Angelina Jolie is also brilliant. She proves she is just as good an actress as she is stunning.

This was a very interesting and good film. The critics are right. This is probably one of the best CIA films ever. Matt Damon acted one of the best performences Ive ever seen him act. And unexpectingly I thought Angelina Jolie did an outstanding job playing Matt Damons wife. And the one I would give the most credit to is Robert De Niro. He did a great job acting and directing this film. Go see it! It worth watching a second time in theatres.

This is a funny one:
How do you abandon Angeline Jolie? Please. Is it even possible in real life? No, no one leaves Angelina Jolie. The actions of Wilson had me thinking he was gay when he was not responsive to the interest in him displayed by Jolie’s character. Wilson was not gay, he was just clueless

I think the Maniston might have a new career in the works…I was on Ebay looking at necklaces when lo and behold I saw this:

I didn’t buy the necklace btw.

I saw the movie the Good Shepherd…I really love it. The only thing I think the movie could be better is that Angie’s character has more part in it. She commands the movie, she’s such a fantastic actress…..wow.

So do I!

Thanks Amaya for the update…..I love it. (((((hugs to you)))))), so much reading your story.

Good day BAMZS. Saw The Good Shepherd and it was awesome. If you love drama, this is the movie for you.
We had a very good crowd tonight.

I was happy to see Joe Pepsi. He doesn’t do movies anymore so it was good to see him. Talk to you guys later.

Hey guys - I got the new In Touch today (the cover reads ‘Did They Have Boob Jobs’ and shows Britney, Renee and Nicole, LOL…Maniston is in a side bar with the caption ‘Jen Reacts to Angelina’s Offer to Meet.’ Anyhoo - the article is hilarious (I so wish my scanner was up and running…if I have time before the holiday, I’ll try and get these pics as well as the L&S ones up..unfortunately Sammie is on vacay until after the holiday so he only has the old In Touch…anyhoo…) — if I didn’t know any better I’d think Janice Min just bought In Touch.

The title of the article:

HOW DARE SHE! Jennifer Aniston is Stunned by Angelina Jolie’s Public Offer to meet with her.

It features Maniston on one page, a huge pic - and it has to be the worst pic of her I’ve seen, the Dustin Hoffman resemblance is uncanny, and she almost looks as if she has on one of those gag noses…you know the kind that come with the pair of black eyeglass frames that people sometimes slap on at parties….sorry to be mean…but that’s what she looks like…I almost feel bad for her (then I force myself to remember Vanity Fair)….then on the other page….

Oh. MY. GOD.

There is a pic of Brad & Angelina that is so stunning it will take your breath away (I’m glad I bought this piece of shite JUST for this photo (Gosh I wish I had my scanner, but as I said, I’ll try and get this up at some point…)…it’s not a premiere pic, but rather a pic with them in NYC, Brad’s in his pea coat, AJ is in her winter white trench, and it’s night time…they are LITERALLY the most beautiful couple I’ve ever seen…Angelina looks like PERFECTION…and Brad looks like Redford all of a sudden. Not quite so young and pretty as Ms Ange, but that in no way is a bad thing — as he’s just slightly less beautiful than she is, which as a guy, that’s how it should be. They look like fookin’ Adam & Eve….but if Adam & Eve were hot as hell sexy @ss movie stars. LOLOL

Anyhoo…the article is pure bullshite and talks about how Maniston doesn’t believe Angelina’s claim that nothing happened and that they were very good friends - and that she still sees her as a homewrecker..it says her that ‘Jen heard from too many people that Brad and Angie were fooling around on-set.’ i.e., they married their FRIENDS.

THAT is what went wrong in these scenarios.

No doubt you need to be friends, but your friend should also be the overwhelming passion and ‘true love of your life,’ first and foremost.

Hi briseis, I got your email greetings. Thank you!

I just got the copy of the Vogue magazine, there is only one left.
I went to the theater where Bradley’s Dad’s work, I brought lumpia (eggroll)
shanghai , his lady boss loved it.
I watched the TGS, theater was 95% full mostly of adult couples. It did not show enough of Angie but her acting is great, Matt D did very well, overall a great movie.

THIS IS LONG BUT INTERESTING (I HOPE)

I was thinking about X’s behavior and I’ve come to the conclusion she has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Hear me out:

She has rather desperate insecurities about herself, and compensates by constructing a grandiose self-image. Most of her relationships are either mirroring relationships–people who flatter her and reinforce her grandiosity–or idealized self-objects–people that she herself thinks alot of, and hence feels flattered by their association.

Even as a narcissist, X knows she isn’t a great talent or beauty and compensates by appearing as the goofy, quirky down to earth sweetheart. She knows that her greatest personal strength is projecting personal affability, and tries to utilize it. That’s why she’s always talking about her girlfriends and why her fans keep touting how many friends she has. She’s got a persistently self-centered frame of reference. That’s whenever she talks of something, she relates it back to her. Whatever Brad did, she would relate it back to how it made her feel. Whether it was her feeling ignored on the Ocean’s 11 movie set, or feeling insecure in front of his friends, it’s always about her.

Now I know many of you have asked in the past why X continues to employ Huvane as her agent when he only helps make her image worse and spins even more lies on her behalf. Or why she continues to manipulate. X realizes that she’s seen as a pitiful person and has been made into a joke. The reason why she refuses to recognize her part in the end of the marriage is because she knows she will discredited because her previous statements will be exposed as lies.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is frequently associated with alcoholism. The insufferable “holier than thou” attitude associated with “Dry Drunk Syndrome” is indicative of underlying narcissism. It’s her problem with alchohol that is more harmful than the happy candy she does. I refer to the “holier than thou” attitude because no matter what the situation is, she always finds a way to put the blame on someone else: her mother, her father, Brad, Angelina, but never herself.

NPDs are notoriously unable to say they’re sorry. Admitting error is fundamentally incompatible with their precarious efforts to maintain their sense of “okayness”. Any friend, partner, or family member that has this character flaw almost certainly has NPD.

The lack of empathy X shows for her mother or anyone is rooted from childhood. Even when the reports of X seeing Shiloh’s pictures came out, or the Vanity Fair issue came out, she showed her lack of sympathy even for the kids. Shiloh’s birth that it hurt her, not that a precious baby had been into the world. Kristin Hahn stated that X would be crushed if Brad and Angie had a baby. That’s because she never saw the Zahara or Maddox as her own kids. She even kept distant from her father after he remarried because it hurt her. In her mind, she couldn’t see her father move on, the same way she’s unable to see Brad move on. But she brought her fahter along to the premier of TBU because it showed her in a goodlight. She used her father to show herself as the loving daughter, just like she uses the connection she had with Brad, to show herself off. Brad is just another person she can use to show how good she is.

If you ignore a person with NPD (like B & A have done for two years), people will perceive them as rude and you as graceful for handling rude behavior without making it worse. It’s difficult, but worth it in the long run. Chances are, people like X don’t want resolution, they want attention. The narcissitic person will attribute to you the motives that they would have. In other words, they project what they would have done if they were you.

One theory is that as the grandiose expectations of the NPD fail to materialize, they have to compensate for the failures they can’t (mentally or emotionally) admit to. They get nastier around the age of 40.

Another characteristic is that they will always try to highjack your special times.
No good news about anyone else is celebrated, but instead made into an opportunity to steal center stage with a drama queen scene.

Brad has learned the way about X. He was made to feel that he was personally responsible for X’s happiness. Necessary detachment is hard but it’s the only way to deal with such people and that’s what he has done.

And for that he and Angie have had to suffer the attack from the infamous Vanity Fair. Narcissistic personalities are similar in that as long as you are meeting their needs, you are not only a good person, you are the greatest of people; yet the second that you stop meeting their needs, you are not only a bad person, you are lower than dirt.

The only way to ‘deal with them’ is to keep them at arm’s length, try to be civil, and avoid any confidentiality. These are score keepers and people who retain a mental file of every vulnerability & weak spot for everyone they know. Just when it seems things may have mellowed - ZING!!!!

test……………………………..

The world’s second richest man, with a fortune of 47 billion dollars, yes thats billion donated 37 billion to charity. 37 billion dollars! 31 billion went to the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, but I can’t say where the other 6 billion went. Pretty f-ing impressive don’t you think?

What I’m wondering is if the same people who continually attack Angelina and Brad for not “giving enough” or “shopping at Kitsons” or “tax write-off” or one of the other many insults hurled at them over their donations to charity will also attack this guy. I mean afterall, the selfish pig kept 10 billion of his own money, why didn’t he give it ALL????

Me personally, I think this guy is beautiful, just like I think Brad and Angelina are beautiful. Brad and Angelina give so much and do so much that they don’t have to do. It puts me in a rage when people put them down. Anyone who insults or degrades another persons charitable actions surely has a cold dead spot on their souls. NOBODY gives every cent they have away, unless its after they die. I’m sure this billion dollar guy can live quite well on 10 billion dollars and he DESERVES to do so. Just like Brad and Angelina have every right and deserve to live a good life with their money. My wish for the new year is that people would just STFU about Brad and Angelina and their charities, unless they say something nice.

On a funny note, this guy can buy and sell Donald Trump 17x over. haha Trump.
