Angelina Jolie Reaches Sainthood

Angelina Jolie Reaches Sainthood

What would Angelina Jolie and her children — Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh — look like depicted as saints, virgins, and cherubs? Kate worked out her own depiction of them on an 88′ x 60″ oil & acrylic on linen in a painting called “Blessed Art Thou.” Here’s how she describes the painting:

This painting addresses the celebrity worship cycle. The title, “Blessed Art Thou”, is taken from a line in the Catholic prayer “Hail Mary”: “…blessed art thou among women”. Our culture is deifying celebrities, but in the bible, it is the meek who are blessed, so the title presents a question for the viewer to ponder.

I chose a setting where the cycle begins: psychologically oppressive environments like this one are the source for the consumer, hungry for “information” about the celebrity. I am interested in the psychological ramifications of celebrity worship, particularly as they relate to class.

Angelina Jolie was chosen as the subject because of her unavoidable presence in the media, the world-wide anticipation of her child, her “unattainable” beauty and the good that she is doing in the world through her example, which adds another layer to the complicated questions about her “deification”.

The “Virgin” and Zahara figures are loosely based on a Van Dyck Virgin painting, and the Maddox figure’s pose is borrowed from a Raphael painting.

The artwork will be on display at the Chelsea Galleria booth at the Art Miami Fair at the Miami Beach Convention Center, January 5-8th. Kate will be at the fair Friday & Saturday.

Thanks for the new thread. Just voted….Angie is number one!!!

I voted for that Hello Magazine Most Attractive Female, but how come no Brad or GC at the Most Attractive Male? Sheesh, I love Sean Bean and all (I swooned over his Odysseus in Troy) but most attractive male? I mean, who nominates the candidates for these polls?

I have to agree. Brad and Angie chose their careers, but Madd, Zee and Shi are children (minors) so their image should not be included in every harebrained scheme people think of (like Madame Tussaud’s wax image of Shiloh, now this painting). I wonder if they can legally be stopped.

meesh am from montreal!

Lovely!! Will travel to Miami to see the painting.

Oh my!! I can’t believe this. You’ve got to be kidding JJ. You need to get a life!Please she is so far from a saint. Why do you guys have her on this crazy pedastil.

Julia…are you illiterate??? Is not JJs painting…take your complaints to the creator and bug off!

I know angelina jolie is 100x better than YOU!

I love it except for the Wal Mart part. Wal mart is HELL. I shop there of course but only because, thanks to them, there is no place else to shop. I can remember a time when there were shopping choices. When everything wasn’t some cheap piece of lookalike WalMart stuff. Ughhhhhhhhhh.

Back to the picture, it doesn’t matter to me what it is suppose to mean because the picture is lovely. If I had enough talent I would paint it on my outbuilding instead of the uninspired crap that I did paint. Shiloh doesn’t have any angel wings but she should! Zahara looks especially cute with her little round face and pigtails.

moi j’habite à paris =I live in paris!!!

Good Morning Ya’ll!

This painting is really bad taste. Really Bad. But hey, at least it isn’t a depiction of her giving birth on a bear skin rug…..so it could be worse.

Also, WM *is* hell. I do have to agree with this artist on that. I haven’t shopped in a WM in over 5 years and don’t intend to ever give them another penny of my money.

krdn wer in paris?was in paris for 7 years….11 rue de l’abbe gregoire paris 6.near bon marche.

all right, you french speaking people can you tell me what some of the words say on that video? sounds pretty has belle in it!

To Missouri Fan, thanks for keeping up the momentum! I was sick when I initially saw the voting and now all is right with the world. I will keep voting too. If this wasn’t one of the more revered tabs in UK I wouldn’t care, but since Feline First is sharing the same media pond this one should be the balance!!!

Julia:

Maybe before you have your fingers typing on your keyboard you should first know how to read and comprehend. This is NOT JJ’s painting, he is not putting her on a pedastil (sheesh, it should be pedestal, Julia!) AND HE SAID SO HIMSELF ON THE CAPTION. We BAMZSers are the last people to call her a saint, but we can’t help it if other people, like this artist, use their artistic license and deify her.

I feel kinda weird about the painting. I guess everyone got a different outlook on art. Maybe the artist just want to start some sensation about her work. Hey,but if I have a million bucks & if the artist will sell them for charity…I WILL BUY THEM. Just for the Jolie-Pitt.

Did you guys see this?

The desertsun of Palm Springs is anouncing that Brad and Cate will attend theFilm Festival Awards Gala on Jan 6.
They are honorees with the rest of the Babel cast for a new Ensemble Performance Award.

just a few days away.. I wonder if Angelina will be there?

Thanks Jared for the new thread.

oh and and I see I have an evil namesake above, lol.. Not a very bright one either.

dragonfly,

ITA, that Britney sculpture is wrong in so many ways.

Speaking of Walmart, I used to have two guyfriends that wanted to live underneath the one that was in our town lol They had this elaborate plan that was really hilarious. Like the lighting would be a series of those “tap” lights and they were all controlled by one big/master tap light. Our walmart was next to a Burger King. So their plan was to have an underground tunnel that went from walmart directly to BK where they would steal food and leave the cups and wrappers in Walmart to frame BK workers lol They would spend their days stealing and destroying xboxs or other expensive things and leave them in most random sections of the store like the auto department. Also a selection floor tiles would be loosened so they make quick exits and personally, I was just reminded of the “Whack a Mole” game where the heads pop :lol:

piper, with a low @ 01/03/2007 at 9:33 am

I understand the message the painter is sending, but the painting is still cringeworthy. Like the Shiloh wax figure, this seems to be a violation against innocent children. Assuming that this painting won’t meet with a tragic end, ie a fire or theft, I’m sure Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh will ask their parents what did they do to invite this inappropriate attention.

I agree that this is more BAMZS exploitation and JMO, Walmart as Hell seems like an afterthought.

This is one ridiculous picture. This artist did not leave out the two adopted ones ,like the Mme Tussaud stuff but dissed them anyway by painting them nude.Shiloh is covered , Angelina too. I really feel bad Zahara and Maddox. And BP is left out ,i wonder why.

Maybe the artist is representing that the US public are the kind of people that while diefying movie stars and shop in hellish Wal-mart, like he’s making fun of us.

C`est un mot qu`on dirait inventй pour elle
Quand elle danse et qu`elle met son corps а jour
Tel un oiseau qui йtend ses ailes pour s`envoler
Alors je sens l`enfer s`ouvrir sous mes pieds

J`ai pose mes yeux sous sa robe de gitane
A quoi me sert encore de prier Notre-Dame
Quel est celui qui lui jettera la premiиre pierre
Celui-lа ne mйrite pas d`etre sur terre

Ф Lucifer !
Laisse-moi rien qu`une fois
Glisser mes doigts dans les cheveux d`Esmeralda

Belle
Est-ce le diable qui s`est incarnй en elle
Pour dйtourner mes yeux du Dieu йternel
Qui a mis dans mon кtre ce dйsir charnel
Pour m`empкcher de regarder vers le Ciel

Elle porte en elle le pйchй originel
La dйsirer fait-il de moi un criminel
Celle qu`on prenait pour une fille de joie une fille de rien
Semble soudain porter la croix du genre humain

Ф Notre-Dame !
Laisse-moi rien qu`une fois
Pousser la porte du jardin d`Esmeralda

Belle
Malgrй ses grands yeux noirs qui vous ensorcellent
La demoiselle serait-elle encore pucelle
Quand ses mouvements me font voir monts et merveilles
Sous son jupon aux couleurs de l`arc-en-ciel

Ma dulcinйe laissez-moi vous кtre infidиle
Avant de vous avoir menйe jusqu`а l`autel
Quel est l`homme qui dйtournerait son regard d`elle
Sous peine d`кtre changй en statue de sel

Ф Fleur-de-Lys !
Je ne suis pas homme de foi
J`irai cueillir la fleur d`amour d`Esmeralda

J`ai posй mes yeux sous sa robe de gitane
А quoi me sert encore de prier Notre-Dame

thank you so for your time, but I don’t speak French :(

I’m disturbed by this painting and how many people are going to use Angelina and Brad’s fame for their own purpose. ENOUGH ALREADY!

And stop using the kids in the painting. Jared, I wish I had remained ignorant to the fact that this painting was made. I wish you hadn’t chosen to put this up. I’m talking out of frustration, sorry.l

It’s sick how many people ride Brad and Angie’s coattails. If I were them, I’d be sending legal notices and putting an end to this. Brad and Angie must have a great ability to be patient because even this angers me.

I think Angie doesn’t need all of this!!!!!

This painting is really disgusting. I also believe that when fans start to believe such bizarre things about a celebrity we are crossing a line. If you are wondering what I mean think John Lennon and that nut that was obsessing about Jody Foster. There are sick people out there. I would worry if I were Brad or Angelina. This is nothing to take lightly. It is highly disturbing to say the least. Why are we imaging her in saintwood. Don’t you have to die to be a saint? Hey I am just wondering.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I’m thinking that the painter is a feminist and her use of Angelina is mainly because she has always been a lightning rod for controversy, especially when it comes to her personal life. Unfortunately, for some women, they continue to see Brad as the one who was led by his wanker and ensnared in an instant family and that going home to ___ will restore him to who he ‘really’ is.

While I hate bandying this word around but there is a hint of racism in it too. The choice of having Maddox and Zahara nude while Shiloh was clothed and covered seems to be a slap at M and Z because they were from impoverished countries. And it serves as another way of distancing Maddox and Zahara from Angelina, Brad, and Shiloh.

How Ridiculous! I personally find it offensive and blaspehmous. And she could have chosen someone else who had a “unavoidable presence” in the media last year. And where is Brad? talk about a slight. He’s a major part of her life. Without brad, no Shiloh or even maybe no Zahara. All people see is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. To top it off Angelina would be the LAST person to want to see her depicted as a saint. She may not mind her childen seen as angelic likemost mothers but still. They really don’t know her do they? UGH!

Come on. This is absolutely unreal. The Jolie-Pitts are not saints, but philanthropists. Their “do-gooder” persona not only benefits their cause, but themselves as well. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s wonderful there is an interest helping children all over the world, but celebrities are all about themselves. It would be more praiseworthy if we, the public, found out about their dedication to their cause, charities, organizations on error, not by massive media blitzes. Geesh.

This painting is one of the reasons why I am glad that Brad & Angelina control the release of “official” photos of their family. The Jolie-Pitt Family means bucks…..in computer hits and magazine sales. It will be one year in a couple of days that Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt announced that they were pregnant to People Magazine. That announcement drew 17 MILLION hits to People Magazines web sight in a single day….ONE DAY!!! Can you imagine that EVERYONE sees dollar signs where this family is concerned…..the phoney wedding in Italy….the visit to Dubai….National Alledger stories…..you name it….all in the name of drawing people to their sight, country, hotel, town, etc, etc, to make a profit.

Why do you think US Magazine is on the outside trying to look into the Jolie-Pitt family……they published those Kenya pics and have been made fools of by Jolie & Pitt ever since! Think….She’s due May 2……now we know that Brad & Angie had the exact same due date as Matt Damon & his wife…..but US magazine put in a date that would fit their neverending “triangle” scenario that Angelina was pregnant before the divorce was final…..just to stirr the pot a bit more. They can’t event get access to Brad when he is doing legit work down in New Orleans because the won’t quit with the triangle crap!

I majored in journalism and to look at these tabloids & entertainment shows is a lesson in “yellow journalism”. Just watch an entertainment show closely one day…….On some shows the bias is so obvious by the questions that they ask, because you know the answer has to fit the point the interviewer wants to get across before the show even airs! On Showbiz tonight AJ Hammer even said when announcing a segment on Angelina’s Vogue interview ” she is opening up about Brad Pitt who left his wife Jennifer Aniston…..blah blah, Blah….and Brooke Anderson even said ” they have never admitted to having an affair” as a follow-up to an answer……Just blatant bias!!! And don’t get me started on these “polls” where the same persons or fan groups can vote over and over again. We even do this ourselves……

Why do we care….Brad & Angelina don’t care what the world thinks about them because they have so many other things to talk about that are important to them. They still go about their humanitarian duties while folks call them names….they don’t skip one beat to answer the Douglas & Trumps of the world….

Now watch this sickness appear on the entertainment shows this evening. You all know they get their Brad & Angelina material from JustJared.

This was not in the mainstream media. So if it shows up, you know where they got it from.

Why doesn’t this artist depict the wronged woman as sainted??? She is the one that started the malestrom and seems to keep it on the front pages, not Angelina and her family.

I must say the Wal-Mart depiction is excellent and should be used for political art instead.

African Girl @ 01/03/2007 at 10:33 am

Hello all and Happy New Year!
This is truly disgusting and disturbing. Goodness, was no other way to pass her “message” without stooping to this?

Susie
I don’t think there is a WE when it comes to imagining AJ as a saint. The painter is definately on HER own on that. I’d like to know how many people she spoke to before coming to the asinine conclusion that people think AJ is a saint…..that’s if she did.

Susie - We are NOT imagining her as a saint. It’s the artist who painted her that way. The haters claim that the fans think she’s a saint and she’s not. She’s HUMAN and her kids are human, therefore her kids and her should be treated with decency and respect that every human deserves.

What’s disturbing is the artist using Angelina and her kids as her subject. Like Angelina’s personal life has not been exploited enough by the media. And the way the kids are depicted is just WRONG.

That’s what people can’t through their head. Angelina is human. She gets her feelings hurt too and can get angry about things. Wish people would be a little more thoughtful with their actions towards ALL human beings. And stop exploiting kids to make some kind of stupid point through their work.

maybe Shiloh is her only “begotten” child so Maddox and Zahara had to be angels?

And can people stop using the juvenile expression “do-gooder”. WTF is that anyway? Is there such a word as “do-badder”?

piper, with a low @ 01/03/2007 at 10:38 am

The worst thing about this is that people like Joe Scarborough will try to spin this as if Angelina commissioned this painting, posed for it, and allowed Maddox and Zahara to pose nude for it, all the while, holding and cradling Shiloh. YOU JUST KNOW that his specially selected peanut gallery aka In Touch and Life and Style will egg him on, anything to keep themselves in dental whitening treatments and microdermabrasions.

Denise - I suppose by the same logic you see Oprah’s mass media blitz about her school opening as wrong…am I right?

What’s disturbing is that celebrities who try to help others and bring awareness to important issues are seen as PR wh*res, but people seeing ads of people promoting perfumes for their own profits, is perfectly ok.

Angelina’s job for the UNHCR is to bring awareness to issues related to refugees, she has to speak out. How the hell else is she suppose to get the word out.

And for the last year, her family has been STALKED. She’s not calling these paps up, they won’t leave her alone, so why not make those razzies follow them to places that need attention like Pakistian, Haiti, Coasta Rica.

green lettuce @ 01/03/2007 at 10:42 am

Very beautiful painting. (colors forms etc) But is it me or little Za is a little bit “left apart”?

piper, with a low says: “While I hate bandying this word around but there is a hint of racism in it too. The choice of having Maddox and Zahara nude while Shiloh was clothed and covered seems to be a slap at M and Z because they were from impoverished countries. And it serves as another way of distancing Maddox and Zahara from Angelina, Brad, and Shiloh.” >> This is what I thought at first.
I just hope the fact that Mad and Za are nude is just to make them looking like angels.

Just when we thought we could rest easy now, with Brad and Angie coming out as a couple on the TGS red carpet, with the hoopla about the Bermuda triangle dying down because of it, and with new and better things to look forward to — the GG, the Oscars, new movies coming out for both of them — comes this sh*t of an exploitation. That artist knew that her choice of subject matter would be very controversial and would get people talking and wanting to view it, so that’s the very reason she chose Angelina Jolie, one of the most talked about celebrities today, be it magazines, blogs, entertainment shows, even legitimate news stories. I really hate this!

As expected there will be different reactions to this painting. The caption is “blessed art thou” not Saint Angelina.

You’re too kind, I see more than a hint of racism. To this person, AJ’s Adoption of an African and Asian child IS why she is a saint. God knows you have to be one to adopt a child “of Color”

NYCGalnVA
Good Point about the media. Gone are the days when the Media was only supposed to REPORT the news. Now they create it, add and subtract from it….until it fits their own bias.

Anyone who has read these threads will know the fans do not see AJ and BP as saints. Like I’ve always said, I’d take someone who openly admits their flaws and mistake over someone who acts like butter won’t melt in their mouth. In my opinon, this painting is just another way to discredit AJ. Now all the naysayers can go “well, we knew it all along, she wants people to think she’s a saint”, completely disregarding the fact that the woman has never once said she’d like to be anything but who she is….An Actress and Humanitarian. If people want to see her as a saint, that’s THEIR problem not hers.

I feel that we BAMZS fans should spin this back on to the “artist”. This Kate is an opportunist, has bad taste and is delusional. This family is not public domain. There should be a lawsuit.

i take a week off from blogging for the holidays and come back for this craziness? sheesh! angie’s not a saint. just a good person doing good things in the public eye.

That’s even Worse!! that’s what we call Jesus’s mother Mary in our “Holy Mary”
prayer [catholics]

the artist isn’t either anti-Jolie or deifying her or anything near it. the spiel about the art suggests it is a social commentary on celebrity worship in general, you know, a visual discussion about people who are obsessed with celebrities like Jolie, and rush to comment on any picture published where she is doing something, even if totally innocuous like sitting in a car. If it weren’t for the paps, would these threads exist? The blog wouldn’t exist and there would be all this spare time to fill. You guys love seeing her doing her UN thing, reifiying her perfection and anyone who disagrees gets nasty comments back. She does great work but I have to say reading some of these comments, it’s a little obsessive in itself.

This is seriously sick………….

Whoever the hell painted it is mental!

African Girl @ 01/03/2007 at 11:08 am

Gitane
Hiya Gitane. How was your holiday? You know, your post got me thinking…maybe the reason why some people think AJ is trying for sainthood is because THEY can’t fathom why an ordinary person will go out of their way to help others.

I was under the impression that art was judged by each individual. You may interpret that it is neither anti or deifying, but I don’t agree with your interpretation anymore than you agree with anyone of our interpretations.

The fact that people come to a blog to critique the comments says a lot about them too. Obviously giggle you must have an interest in something or you wouldn’t be here putting your 2 cents in too.

OMG, people, it’s not that serious. This is some unknow artist trying to make money. You giving her what she wants, your time and your attetion.

Alexanderina @ 01/03/2007 at 11:17 am

Morning Gitane and AG. How are you ladies doing? I hope you ladies had a wonderful Christmas and aHappy New Year, wishing you both the very best for the upcoming New Year.

What in the sam hill? @ 01/03/2007 at 11:17 am

Why the hell did she paint the kids without clothing? The painter is a crazy ass weird lady! I would be Pissed if I were B & A and some crazy ass painted my kids nude like that.

That is so not cool!

But there again when you are in the public eye as much as Angelina is with her kids this is bound to happen. Someone will take it upon themselves to come up with this messy picture of saintwood/virgin mary or whatever the hell this is supposed to be. I wonder who would even want to have this painting in their home though. Unless we are now worshipping idols. It does look like those Jesus pictures with him coming out of the clouds. But somehow I feel that this artist is painting what I have heard a lot of people going on and on about. The big deal with the adoptions etc. I guess this artist decided to put paint to paper. Others worship with pens and paper. Not much of a difference. In fact I thought the fans would be very happy and stress how beautiful she and those kids are. I wonder what is amiss this time.

I have to agree. Brad and Angie chose their careers, but Madd, Zee and Shi are children (minors) so their image should not be included in every harebrained scheme people think of (like Madame Tussaud’s wax image of Shiloh, now this painting). I wonder if they can legally be stopped

i mean painting!!!

Why does Angelina have to be referenced to another person for the work she does. Implying that she is Mother Teresa, who is regarded as a saint, is taking away from Angelina’s own individuality and her own work. She isn’t trying to copy anyone, she gives and helps as she pleases!

Bono isn’t called the Pope, so why Angelina? This is frustrating. People should stop trying to tag Angelina with the Saint or Mother Teresa tag.

The people that are still mad at Brad for being with Angelina are the same people who can’t understand that he is human, not a sun god. He can do whatever he wants, make whatever mistakes he wants, say whatever he wants because is human.

Same with Angelina. The Mother Teresa or Saint tag implies that Angelina is trying sweep her past under the rug and be something she’s not. She has always acknowledged her past and made it clear that she has been self destructive in the past. That’s why people have a hard time letting go of her past. Because they think she’s trying to be some sort of Saint when she isn’t. So what if she had a wild past. A lot of people do.

The problem starts when Angelina and Brad are held to a different standard than others. Why should that be the case?

OMG, people, it’s not that serious. This is some unknow artist trying to make money. You giving her what she wants, your time and your attetion.

****************************************

A real artist is not looking for money. A true artist is not a capitalist. They are willing to starve and die for their art. This is not art. It’s comic book or pop art illustration. The use of celebrity is proof of this. The use of the minors for monetary gain is in poor taste.

I’m glad we will have new pictures of Brad this weekend. This is just the begining for him. I’m very happy for him career wise as well as personally. Angelina has made him a very happy man by fulfilling all his dreams.

It is called controversy and it gets people to talking and reacting. AJ is seen as “saint” to those who want to criticize her and devalue her work. I see her as someone who has lived a varied and interesting life; dedicated to her Partner/ family; dedicated to her humanitarian work; and a good actress. The Painter in her misguided way and need for attention is trying to make a statement on pop culture.

Susie, your posts are always such a drag. You are always so negative.I can only imagine how much fun you must be in person.(rolls eyes) You really need to learn how to laugh it up.
You said Angie is everywhere. Methinks YOU are the one who can stop think about her. Since you are here, in a tread about her and her family.
Let it go, honey. All this anger is doing you no good.

happy new year to you! my holidays were lovely. check the EMG “happy birthday gitane” messages.

i think the issue with this painting and frankly with the majority of celebrity haters is that “saint”, “god” and “idol” are controversial terms used to objectify celebrities and therefore belittle anyone who takes an interest in them. the complexity of human beings as individuals, their histories and their passions is diminished, easily pigeonholing them into a place where those who don’t agree or share their interests can condescend with impunity.

iconoclasts can’t exist without an icon. anyone who is admired and their admirers are easy prey.

Moving to another subject, marriage. Why is everyone hell bent on seeing Brad and Angelina get married?

They said no they aren’t considering it, so why the push for them to get married. Over half of the population is not married, and half of all married couples get divorced in the USA. So why are so many wishing they get married and why all the tabliod stories about the “secret wedding”???

I was watching Showbiz Tonight and they are going to do a segment about 7 wishes for 2007. One of them is about couples they wish would get married and they showed Brad and Angelina.

Really, what is the fcuking problem. It’s one thing for everyone to give their opinion on these two, but what’s with the everyone demanding what they should or shouldn’t do. We can only comment, but from the tone from many people comes across as if though they think they have a right to have their voices heard regarding Brad and Angelina’s relationship.

Why does Angelina have to talk to her father? Why do Brad and Angie
have to get married? Why does a seven month old Shiloh have to be taken everywhere so the public can see her? Why does Zahara have to dress a certain way? Why does Maddox have to go to a school? Why can’t he have a tutor.

Sure, everyone has a right to comment, but it’s when the comments takes on a tone that Brad and Angelina have to do certain things because strangers deem it right, is when things get out of hand.

Should we stop discussing this @ 01/03/2007 at 11:43 am

Should we continue to post on this topic?????

Should we all take a day off ???

If we do post, may be we can all STOP discussing this topic “saint” .

I am sure outside people are reading this thread to get ideas???

Should we give them????

Anyone has suggestions?????

Here’s my interpretaion of the painting.

First, I don’t believe the artist is likening Angelina to a saint.

I believe the artist is illustrating a comparison of Angelina the international star, adoptioner, birth mother, screen goddess to the average American woman shopping in wal-mart, gossiping, overweight, doing blah everyday average things. Angelina is depicted as being above all these average things. Brad is not depicted because or no other men for the matter because the artist is speaking specifically to women. Notice the otheer women don’t have their children with them. Their children are some other place and not with them.

I believe artist is contrasting Angelina the mother to the average American mother. I keep referring to the American woman because of the American flag hanging and the Wal-mart itself.

Finally, I believe artist paints an adoring ode to Angelina for not being an average American mom for being above the casualness of daily shopping at Wal-mart.

I don’t see this as Saintifying Angelina at all. It just a contrast of Angelina and the average woman in America.

hi everyone

everyone who draw BA names in their article or comment or photo , painting, wants publicity;
the children sdn’t be in the mess

That’s bizarre…

Angelina a Saint? Virgin?? really?

I wouldn’t go that far. I think that if we all bought plane tickets and picketed the exhibit or made incessant calls to the gallery holding the exhibition, then she would’ve gotten our time and attention, plus a heavy dose of publicity. At this point, we’re just voicing our displeasure. The last thing I want is for this woman to have a platform to defend.

Really, who would want more weeks of a shilling, no talent hack milking a controversy with a toothless position. BTW… Donald Trump will be on the entertainment shows again, popping off about Rosie again.

Then it will be a whole new industry of stories of “Is there trouble in paradise?’ I have a hunch that if and when they do get married, it will be simple and special to them and no one will know till long after the fact.

Wal-Mart is not hell. Thanks to the Walton family many people including myself are saving lots of money on things that we must have for our family’s.
I shop at Wal-Mart at least 3 times a week.

George Clooney’s New Year: A Date with Dorothy
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 03, 2007 10:05 AM EST

By Stephen M. Silverman

George Clooney

While other stars partied on New Year’s Eve at hot spots from Vegas to Miami, George Clooney welcomed 2007 at home – in front of the TV.

“I watched The Wizard of Oz – a big tradition at my house,” Clooney, 45, told Jay Leno on Tuesday’s Tonight Show. He noted, though, it was the special edition of the film with Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon as the soundtrack.

PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive took a similar approach to Christmas, which he spent at the Mexican beach resort of Cabo San Lucas.

“I didn’t do anything,” he told Leno. “I went down south with a couple of my friends because we said, ‘We’re sick of Christmas.’ ”

In keeping with the theme, “Nobody put on Christmas songs and we didn’t celebrate at all.” But the atmosphere, he insisted, wasn’t bah-humbug “at all and we had a nice time down there.”

In lieu of gifts, “We put up a Web site for all our buddies, and just said, ‘Everybody has all you want,’ and said ‘What’s your favorite charity? We’ll give to that.’ ”

He did honor one tradition, however: the New Year’s resolution. “I quit smoking,” he said, prompting the audience to burst into applause. “It was that or give up drinking, and I’m not going to do that.”

Alexanderina

good morning! happy new year! getting call caught up at work?

To ! Say:

Folks want Brad & angelina to get married so they can start writing the “when are they going to Divorced stories.

This coupling of Brad & Angelina has been a godsend to the tabloid media & entertainment shows. When the original Bennifer broke up, the tabloids and entertainment shows lost a cash cow. There were countless tabloid stories that they made up. I bet they knew for months that Brad & Jen were going to split…..one US Magazine reporter said as much on one of those “True Hollywood” stories shows on Brad….that you saw this everytime they went to a party….but they kept quiet as just writing that they split wasn’t as spicy as adding Angelina Jolie to the mix….The fact that reports of Angelina & Brad’s amazing chemistry was all over the place made it seem to me they were waiting to spice up this story with a “triangle” al Liz, Eddie & Debbie.

Hey AG, I hope you had a great New Year’s. GC was Leno last night but I didn’t catch it. I’ve started writing a new fic too, it’s on same blog as Mean Boys.

Walmart doesn’t give any benefits to its employess and takes advantage of illegal immigrants by paying them below minimum wage. It’s businesses like Wal - Mart that have contributed to the problem of illegal immigration yet they are never punished for their illegal business practices. They get huge tax breaks from the current tax laws in this country and yet the way they treat their employees is despicable.

Also, Walmart continously has taken to wiping away other competition and have created a monoply, especially in small towns where small businesses are trying to flourish. Because of Walmart, many small business owners have had to close their shops because they can’t compete with such a huge empire. It’s contributed to eliminating the middle class in this country.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is amiss…. is we are NOT crazy people. We know AJ and her children are beautiful….we can tell from REAL pictures of them. We don’t need a painting depicting her as “saint or Semi-god” to tell us how beautiful they are. I can just see the “brangelunatic” labels peppered all over this thread if one…just one person had gone “Wow! The artist sure captured the true essence of who AJ is and she looks beautiful ascending into the heavens where she belongs”

Chanel,

Wal-mart is not hell nor is Angelina being depicted as a saint in Heaven. I think the artist was contrasting Angelina and the average mother in America. I don’t artist is putting down Wal-mart but just giving props to Angelina….a new and non-traditional mother.

I couldn’t agree more.

I don’t understand what is so awful about this painting. I want to be clear though, I like it because its Angelina and the kids NOT because I see her as a saint. I admit I didn’t think any further than just to look at the picture and decide I like it. I don’t know why she/he painted it or what it means or what is going to happen with it and so on. I did wonder why Zahara and Maddox have nothing on. I thought covering them up a bit would have been nice, but thought they were not because they are “cherubs”. There was a similar picture on another blog a few days ago.

Anyways, I have been to vote for Angelina a few times and it appears several people have because she is in the lead now.

Anon: it’s not that serious. This is some unknow artist trying to make money. You´re giving her what she wants, your time and your attetion.

ITA. We don´t have to discuss about this. Let´s change the subject.

It is just prejudice drivel dismissing people who shop at walmart as being gossipy, over weight, doing blah things every day! And what are some of us doing here? gossiping? Who on this board hasnt done a few blah things every day? And is everyone on this board model thin? It has long bothered me that other posters will criticize another by accusing her of being fat, or living in a trailer park. Oh the horror!! I dont understand all the hatred toward Walmart either. This store has given many in my area jobs, and also allowed poorer people to buy things that they need and want at lower prices. And this is bad, how? Sure it is easy for some of you in your upper middle class lives to complain and act all holier than thou. There are some not so nice people living in upscale apartments and kind, decent people who live in mobile homes. I somehow dont think Brad or Angie would make disparaging remarks towards someone based on where and how he lived.
Mom and Pop stores may not be as plentiful these days.. do to progress and free enterprise. I dont romanticize them. I love my parents, but they would make lousy business people.

No, I dont live in a trailer park.. I know people who do, though. And I am not exactly fat, though I could stand to lose 10 lbs. But I have people in my family who are overweight and I hate seeing them marginalized and dismissed because of that.
These are just some observations I wanted to make.

Susie is a Aniston fan who pretends to be a BAMZS fan but her passive aggressive comments don’t fool anyone.

You’re ranting now. I agree with one writer that collectively, we are taking this way to seriously. Maybe we should proceed with our own lives?

see, this is the kind of dicussion the artistic forms bring out in people, interpretations, dialogue. Is it disrespectful, or is it tongue-in-cheek, is it deep, well thought out? Or maybe the artist is really just a talented painter that just wants to make a buck. Art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, so’s interpretation.

When they’re on the show Rosie has to hold her tongue because BW says so but BW can’t control her blog. With the way that BW has handled this I understand Rosie’s frustration.

I actually pity Joe Scarborough because he lives for the tabloids when it comes to the Jolie-Pitts. In his mind their careers are over and that karma’s at work…what a poor delusional man. It must suck for him to know that he comes after a heavy hitter like KO, especially after last night with KO’s special comment and that he must heavily rely on fluff to keep his “pundit” title even though he’s not funny.

Someone mentioned Saints, wings on the wings on the little adorable little angels; Maddox and Zahara, the clouds and think wham Heaven….Angie the Saint.

lina, so no small businesses in your town had to shut down when a wal mart was built there?

Gossip from Janet Charlton -
If you’ve been wondering what in the world Angelina Jolie bought Brad Pitt - the man who has everything - for Christmas, we’ve got the answer. Clever Angelina knows her man loves modern art - and has, in his collection, a smirking mug shot silkscreen of Steve McQueen done by English artist Russell Young. It’s very Warhol inspired. Since Brad is particularly fond of Young’s colorful work (and so are WE,) Angelina bought him two more prints from the celebrity mug shot collection. In our opinion she selected the cream of the crop - Sid Vicious and Frank Sinatra. We all know what Sid was arrested for, but we were surprised to learn that Frankie was arrested for “adultery” in 1938.

My last post omitted a few words. It should be an English Professor said, “Dig deep”. Also, I don’t think this painting is illustraing what so many have taken and run with.

You must be fair and admit that all of the chain stores do it.

Face it, Wal-Mart is not going anywhere. Many people, including myself, save lots of money shopping there, and that is what it’s about when it comes to the American consumer.

I agree that we in the US have become celebrity obsessed, elevating them to Gods.

So it is not Angelina’s fault that such paintings and commentaries spring up, it is the psychotic behavior of those who elevate stars to Saints and spend daily hours canonizing them and obsessing about their every move.

Imagine a thread obsessing over the refugee children of Darfur. Every picture of an abandoned refugee child in Darfur would be met with 1,000 posts of people wondering where they will be living next, what they are eating tomorrow, etc.

Why don’t we obsess about this?

Celebrity obsession equals Saint worshipping and we need to stop and rethink our priorities.

Angelina is not a Saint nor do I think she has any interest in being one. So her fans need to stop making her into one.

About this painting: legally the artist should not have the right to expose the genitalia of children, especially a child whose image is world known.

Again, the artist is simply playing into the ridiculous attention this family is being given.

Hey AG, how was your holidays? beside the screaming nephews and nieces? ;)
see that you have some problem this morning? :) did I tell you to use small words and simple basic sentences?….. hehehe.

Daisy- can you read and comprehend? All the comment before you have said that the fans do not see Angelina has a saint. What part of that was not clear to you?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Whether they SAY they do not see her as a Saint, dedicating hours in a day to a celeb, following their every move and their family’s every move, finding no fault in them thus finding them near perfect, elevating them and putting them on a pedestal is in fact the same ritual as praising and canonizing in religious sects.

In American society, we have elevated stars to Sainthood.

Of course those engaged in this behavior cannot know they are doing it for if they did they would stop.

Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, and Lindsay Lohan get infinitely more press than a schoolteacher who does good, or a refugee child in Darfur, or a Public servant who does good.

That is a problem.

All I am saying is if we channeled all the enegery we spent on finding out where Angelina is spending Christmas, or whether she will show up with Brad at a premiere or what she is wearing and instead spend even an hour of that time discussing hungry children, we would do more good for humanity.

Angelina does this, why not learn from her? She said herself on Larry King she does not follow celebrities’ lives and never did even before she was famous.

Again, 1,000 posts on one woman and her family is a level of canonizing. let’s face it.

Obviously, Brad is God, as he is nowhere on the painting except for the light shining on … ???
It’s really sad how people make profit from others. By now, nobody has known that artist… Kate what? But now after this painting people start to pay attention to something that is in fact not art at all… but publicity for the artist.

You mean he still has a job? @ 01/03/2007 at 1:15 pm

Daisy,You have stated your opinion,I hope you feel better.Now don’t you post this on a Jen A thread and point out how they have spent 2 years hating Angelina and calling her childern racist names?Please ask why they can’t seem to get over a celebrity divorce,OK!

And why are you here Daisy????

Brad and Angie will probably laugh when they see this painting. Anyway, the artist has the right to express what she thinks of Angie, and people have the right to disagree. Bottom line is Angie will not care. She knows herself and will continue to do what she thinks is best for the people she cares about.

Moving to another subject, marriage. Why is everyone hell bent on seeing Brad and Angelina get married?

They said no they aren’t considering it, so why the push for them to get married. Over half of the population is not married, and half of all married couples get divorced in the USA. So why are so many wishing they get married and why all the tabliod stories about the “secret wedding”???

I was watching Showbiz Tonight and they are going to do a segment about 7 wishes for 2007. One of them is about couples they wish would get married and they showed Brad and Angelina.

Really, what is the fcuking problem. It’s one thing for everyone to give their opinion on these two, but what’s with the everyone demanding what they should or shouldn’t do. We can only comment, but from the tone from many people comes across as if though they think they have a right to have their voices heard regarding Brad and Angelina’s relationship.

Why does Angelina have to talk to her father? Why do Brad and Angie
have to get married? Why does a seven month old Shiloh have to be taken everywhere so the public can see her? Why does Zahara have to dress a certain way? Why does Maddox have to go to a school? Why can’t he have a tutor.

Sure, everyone has a right to comment, but it’s when the comments takes on a tone that Brad and Angelina have to do certain things because strangers deem it right, is when things get out of hand.
=====================

You are so right. People blame AJ for everything. Do they ever think about JA not spending the holidays with her parents? not talking to her mom? especially that she has no family of her own now to take care of? I guess people can’t stand to see other people’s success. JA probably will suffer all the wraths if and when she is seen as successful.

Hello everyone!This painting is a TOTAL publicity stunt for the artist and no I don’t like the painting.Let’s not spend the day arguing with undercover Susie and this Daisy person.I for one do do not look as Angelina as a saint.I see her as a example of how a person can turn their life around for the better,if they find a purpose in life.

the real tita @ 01/03/2007 at 1:23 pm

The Catholics are going to see this as blasphemous and the critcs are going to have to see this as art (they did with the cross in the jar of pee or the virgin mother painted in poo) if they don’t want to be really recognized as hypocrites.

I agree that everyone wants to profit or get their opinions across and what more of a sensation than Angelina and her brood.

For those of you who don’t have a Catholic background, the images of Mad and Zee are supposed to be cherubs. They are supposed to be nude children with wings. The artist incorporated them with the Madonna and child (sometimes the child is nude too but the Madonna is always clothed).

The painting is beautiful but I wish the artist hadn’t done it. I am a Catholic and I do not appreciate our blessed mother or our other religious icons being made into sacrilegious objects. I wish she’d chosen to use Angelina as Mother Earth or Lady Bountiful. It still woud have made an impact if she had.

remember the day I posted I wanted to start an “order of sisters of Brad and Angelina” that went around the world doing good works in their names as a joke? that’s the kind of clowning around that makes haters think we take this kind of thing seriously.

Good Morning Ya’ll!

This painting is really bad taste. Really Bad. But hey, at least it isn’t a depiction of her giving birth on a bear skin rug…..so it could be worse.

Also, WM *is* hell. I do have to agree with this artist on that. I haven’t shopped in a WM in over 5 years and don’t intend to ever give them another penny of my money.

+++++++++++

I think that painting is one of the worst misuses of celebrity imagery ever. She may think she’s making a statement about the the deification of celebrities, but what she’s really doing is prostituting the images of Brad and Angelina’s children for fame, if not an immediate profit. Even if she doesn’t sell this painting or donates the money to charity, the free publicity she’s garnered from the project will ensure more PAID work for her in the future. She’s just another person making a buck off Brad and Angie, which wouldn’t be so annoying if she had left the children out of it.

Oh yeah…personally I love the Evil Empire that is Wal-mart. Especially the Supercenter. One stop shopping at it’s finest. There just aren’t too many places where you can do your grocery shopping while you’re getting your tires rotated and your oil changed.

My view of this painting.

Exploitative? Yes, particularly when it comes to the children. They shouldn’t be used as tools for social commentary without their consent or their parents.

Racist? Biased against Zahara and Maddox? No, I don’t think that’s the intent. Some people may perceive that Mad and Z being relegated to Angelina’s feet and being depicted as nude is may be racist/biased against them. I prefer to give the artist the benefit of the doubt. Remember the painting’s composition is derived from the traditional “Virgin and Child”/“Madonna and Child” paintings so popular in the Renaissance that almost EVERY artist from Raphael to Leonardo to Verrocchio had at least one such painting. The composition of those paintings were usually the same regardless of the artist: the Virgin Mary in the center wearing Blue (the Color of Heaven) holding the Christ Child and usually flanked by Saints or ANGELS on either side. The artist here is emulating the latter composition—angels on either side. I don’t think this choice was prompted by any racist tendencies—the artist is simply following a formula, hence wings on both children (also most cherubs in Renaissance paintings are depicted as nude so I don’t think there was a perverted intent here by the artist although the Jolie-Pitts and most people would probably object to this artistic license since the children’s faces are the ones used here). Also, the Madonna and Child paintings usually don’t have Joseph in them (those paintings are usually a different type called “the Holy Family” and that type of painting traditionally has a different composition) so that is why Brad isn’t in this painting.

So why is Shiloh the one chosen to be clothed and held in Angelina’s arms? I think there are 2 reasons. The first and more rational reason is that at the point in time this painting was created, Shiloh is not walking yet and is most likely to be carried by Angelina as opposed to Mad and Z who are already walking or at least able to stand on their own. The second has to do with part of what the artist is playing with—remember the ridiculous frenzy surrounding the impending birth of Shiloh? How some idiots were calling her birth the most anticipated birth since the birth of the Christ Child? Additionally, some people’s translations of Shiloh Nouvel’s name is that she is the New Messiah of the New Peaceful One. That’s the background the artist is playing with and why Shiloh is depicted as the Christ Child.

I’m a big BAMZ fan and I my first reaction to this painting was one of irritation because like others, I believe it capitalizes on the family unfairly and because I’m Christian, I also felt that it was offensive to superimpose the traditional depiction of the Virgin Mary on Angelina especially with such a blatant title as “Blessed Art Thou.” Even among Saints, the Virgin Mary has traditionally been elevated even ABOVE typical saints—Catholic doctrine claiming she was so pure as to be born without original sin so as to be worthy of being the one to carry and give birth to Christ. I’m not going to debate religious doctrines here but my point is, there are some religious things I consider people should leave well enough alone—imagine for example Brad’s face on traditional depiction of Christ at the Crucifixion, on Muhammed, on Buddha and on and on. Something like that is bound to offend someone. Thus I think use of the Virgin Mary metaphor here is uninvited and undesired by Angelina and her fans alike, particularly because critics who won’t care to ponder the painting as a whole would be all too ready to jump on Angelina and her fans as being delusional for elevating her to this status (which we did not).
With that said, I am however not about to call for censorship of this painting. This art is what freedom of expression is about and insensitive as the artist may be in its depiction of Angelina and children, there are interesting social commentaries here. There is the commentary that “deification” these days are not created by churches but by the media and the avid consumer of celebrity news. The most interesting commentary to me is the contrast between the Virgin Mary and Angelina. Mary was deified for her purity and her role in giving birth to the Christ Child who revolutionized a society. After the birth of Christ, she wasn’t mentioned too much anymore since her role was done. Her value was rooted in her unquestionable chastity and her motherhood and by today’s standards, this is a rather limited and paternalistic view of her worth as a human being and as a early founder of Christianity. Contrast that to Angelina who everyone agrees wasn’t exactly the poster child for virginity. However, despite her terrific mothering skills, Angelina is admired for so much more than being a mother because people also admire her compassion, her strong and adventurous spirit, her acting skills, her advocacy, etc. That’s a reflection of the our times—the modern one where a woman can be valuable for what she says and does not just for what she gives birth to.

I’m sure there are other messages in this painting that other people will find. Despite my initial reaction to this painting, I think it shouldn’t be dismissed so easily as it has, like many works of art, a message that is interesting to ponder and debate. Art that makes you think is always worth a second glance.

___________________________________________________________
Ted C. was nasty with Brad and Angie in 2005, because he feel sorry for Aniston. He said Brad was a jerk with her, because after their break up he didn’t gave her the time of the day. And move on very fast with Angie. He said he had sources saying how sad Aniston was.
But he did say that Angie was not the main reason of their split. He said it was about their egos. And he said that there was no affair in the set of MMs. But he believed they fall in love there. Oh, and he does like Angie, he said the only woman he would have s.e.x with in hollywood was Angie, and he always says she is beautiful.
I guess, he thinks Brad loves Angie more than she loves him. He said that Brad’s friends told him that Brad and Angie s.e.x life is the best they ever had.
But the funny thing, was that he reported, that around june of 2005, Aniston was crazy out of her mind trying to get back with Brad, but he didn’t even want to talk to her.

Walmart doesn’t give any benefits to its employess and takes advantage of illegal immigrants by paying them below minimum wage. It’s businesses like Wal - Mart that have contributed to the problem of illegal immigration yet they are never punished for their illegal business practices. They get huge tax breaks from the current tax laws in this country and yet the way they treat their employees is despicable.

Also, Walmart continously has taken to wiping away other competition and have created a monoply, especially in small towns where small businesses are trying to flourish. Because of Walmart, many small business owners have had to close their shops because they can’t compete with such a huge empire. It’s contributed to eliminating the middle class in this country.

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

Yeah, yeah…like whatever…dude…they’re cheaper than anywhere else…that’s all I care about.

BTW - I live in a town with 3 Supercenters and a Sam’s Club with a fairly large Mexican population…and I ain’t seen a one of ‘em working at Wal-mart. Then again, a few of the Waltons live here, so I’m sure that keeps the Wal-marts extra squeaky clean. But…otherwise…not my problem.

Some may sasy that they undersell everyone else out of business, but the way I look it as that the other businesses were over-charging. If Wal-mart can become the biggest company in the world by selling for less…and still make a huge ass profit…then that means everyone else is price gouging.

And BTW - Wal-mart DOES offer benefits. And I’m not going to cry in my spilt milk if illegal aliens can’t get health insurance. You can’t have it both ways - either you’re going to be upset because you think Wal-mart doesn’t offer employee benefits or you can be upset that they hire illegal aliens. But, if you think both things are true, then you’re objecting because the illegal aliens don’t have health insurance and a nice 401K with profit sharing incentives. As far as I’m concerned, illegal aliens aren’t entitled to health insurance or benefits…hence the term “illegal”.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To debate an issue that needs debating.

Sometimes you have to sit down with the hatemongers to discuss race. Sometimes you have to sit down with pedophiles to discuss pedophilia. Sometimes you have to sit down with sexist pigs to discuss sexism.

A debate on the misuse of celebrity attention and on the issue of make celebs into Saints needs to take place not just by preaching to the choir but also with the very people who are engaged in the activity, thus a celeb blog. My friend told me this painting was posted.

Like all art, whether good or bad, this painting brings up fascinating issues to be debated. Whatever you think of it (and I think the painting is crass) it does what art has always done: incite debate.

And I stand by my point: I would rather discuss a refugee child’s daily activities then a celebrity’s. Not if we can only get the rest of America to refocus attention on things that matter……

ted c. still has a job? i thought they’d have kicked him to the curb to celebrate the new year. he must’ve done some fancy maneuvering to keep his employment and therefore his highlights intact. his knees must be awfully sore. well, they’ll match his swollen lips…

TMZ has the video up of Oprah’s interview. No WHY does someone need a “pat on the back” or “applause” for “adopting”? Something that is old as time itself wheter you adopt someone who looks like you or not. Where’s the applause for her having and carrying Shiloh for 9 months? Sorry for ranting. Today I feel like that.

Amid controversy over her new South African school, Oprah Winfrey has thrown her support behind Madonna’s controversial adoption. But unlike Madge, O won’t be bringing any of the kids home anytime soon.

In an interview with “EXTRA” correspondent Jon Kelley, Winfrey pats celebs like Brangelina and the Material Girl on the back for their adoption of non-caucasian children. “With somebody like Brad and Angelina, their family is a little United Nations,” says Winfrey, who also believes the negative response to Madonna’s adoption of a Malawian child was “craziness.”

Will Oprah follow in Madge’s footsteps and bring one of the schoolgirls home with her? That’s a big “No, no no no,” from O.

no, january is a slow wedding month. at least around here. i’ve got to catch up on all of the end of the year b.s., reconcile accounts, etc. etc. the good thing about going on vacation is that your brain starts working again. the bad thing is that when you get back to work, you instantly get overwhelmed again.

i’m glad your temp did a good job. when i was doing temp work, everyone was surprised that i was actually good. apparently there are a lot of lousy temps in the work force.

you’ve GOT to be kidding me — weird, Weird, WEIRD!

Praise Jesus. Queen Mother Oprah has given her approval to Brad and Angelina. Phew! Now I can breath easily. What would Brad and Angelina ever do without Ms. Oprah’s approval. Thank God, Oprah spoke out, I’ve been waiting all this time for her to give her stamp of approval. I guess Brad and Angelina can’t finally stop worrying.

To walmart shopper….. That pic is beastiality - sad and disgusting same as all the other sick porn including child pornography. This woman is in bad need of attention to pose like this - and…. this mentality does not clear up in a couple of years after a few trips to visit orphans - it just gets buried. The thoughts are still there and the guilt and overcompensation in other areas takes over but does not eliminate the basic self that thinks this way.

the reason you loonies hate this picture is because it hits just a little too close to home. Most of you either are that woman in line at wal-mart lusting after angelina’s life or you can’t possibly understand the irony of this picture. It’s 100% spot on.

regarding Walmart, they do have good price. but i dont shop there, cos i dont believe in driving far away just to get a few things.

i do buy the walmart stock. it’s been doing well. i’ve always tried to keep up with financial news. recently they come out with this $4 generic drug (the most common drug which many people use), with that plan from walmart, now many of the drug store chains are forced to come up with similar low price plan. i think it’s good when there is competition.

Does anyone know if a movie star get paid, with the picture on the front of magazine like VF, vogue, etc????

horse sex doesn’t make for a happy healthy well adjusted family. It’s a bit bizarre at the least. Isn’t bestiality illegal ?

Wal-Mart is not hell. Thanks to the Walton family many people including myself are saving lots of money on things that we must have for our family’s.
I shop at Wal-Mart at least 3 times a week.

*******************************************

You are far too short-sighted. WM is a major kog in the wheel of what is wrong with the economy. It is killing small business and small-town America, which is what built this country. When you go into a WM all you hear is a great sucking sound, because, #1, they literally *do* suck, and #2, the other is the sound of American jobs being sucked overseas to sweatshops full of child/slave labor. WM and other business like it (of which WM is by far the worst) have forced American manufacturers to send operations overseas or go out of business. As a result we now have inferiorly made products and practically no manufacturing jobs left within our own borders.

How is WM to blame, you ask? Well sit back cuz I’m gonna tell you why they are bad and you shouldn’t shop there.

In the 1940’s-1960’s a man without a college degree could get a job in local manufacturing plant, say, making tools. He wouldn’t get rich, but he could raise and support a family on his wages, he would have health insurance, and his wife didn’t need to work.

In the 1970’s-1980’s WM was a company that prided itself on selling American-made products. Remember the commericials? Made in the USA? Well at the time, it was true.

As WM became bigger and bigger, many US manufacturing plants, such as the one that made tools where our friend at the beginning of this story, found themselves making a good profit and expanding becasue they were selling LOTS of tools to discount chains. So much so, that a very large percentage od what the tool comapny is making is being sold to WM….. well, that’s all fine and dandy EXCEPT once WM had a company over a barrel, say, 40-60% of their goods being sold to WM, that’s when WM says, to them, “We’re not pay you full price for your tools anymore. We want it cheaper!”

So the company has to trim somewhere. They lay people off. Then WM demands again, “We want your goods cheaper still!” Well, with that much of their business being sold to WM, the comapny knows if they say no that they will go out of business all together. So… they lay more people off, they cut corners on supplies, etc…

This continues on and on until the company moves it operations overseas where the labor is cheaper and they can still sell their goods to WM and still make a profit.

Where does this put the American worker?

Ever wonder why there are no more factories, sewing plants, or foundries in your town? I challenge you to go into a WM and find anything American-made today. Maybe 10% of their goods. Maybe.

That’s why.

All because people can’t stay their butts out of WM.

WM has people fooled that they are your friend, and they are helping you save so much money.

Bull.

What good are cheap prices if there are no jobs? Oh yeah…. you could work at WM I suppose. That plays right into their hands. Pathetic.

They blow into town and put every local hardware store, drug store, dress shop, etc, out of business. Everything that is wonderful about small-town America is being crushed under the heel of WM. Their can’t buy their goods from the manufacturer as cheap as WM can, so naturally their prices are higher. I will drive further and pay more, just to keep a local in business. WM can kiss my a$$. I hate them with a passion.

I actually save money now that I DON’T shop there, becasue I don’t buy a whole lotta mess I don’t need.

No amount of money will ever be enough for this company. They are greedy.

And don’t tell me that they provide jobs, either. Sure, c-r-a-p jobs with no benefits that nobody can live on.

All so people can have lots and lots of cheap, plastic junk that is only going to wind up as next year’s garage sale fodder.

Selling out for short-term benefit, unable to see the big picture and the long-term cost to us all. Yep. The WM way, alright.

Did I say I hate them?

to all BAMZS fans –

please stop discussing about this artwork, enough is enough

Le’ts clarigy–Angelina did not pose for this. Pictures of her and her children are readily available and an artist does not need them to “sit” for this painting to depit them.

Beastility? I don’t see any animals in the painting! By the way, just because there is nudity does not mean its pornography. Ever seen Michelangelo’s David?

I don’t shop at Walmart anymore. They have had too many lawsuits filed against them by their employees. I’ve known a handful of people who have worked at Walmart. EVery single one has complained about the way Walmart treats their employees. Walmart has benefits on the books, but they get out of paying most of them because they make sure that most of their enployees work part time and most benefits are for what they consider full time employees. I live in San Antonio so I have plenty of other options for places to shop.

Good Morning Ya’ll!

This painting is really bad taste. Really Bad. But hey, at least it isn’t a depiction of her giving birth on a bear skin rug…..so it could be worse.

Also, WM *is* hell. I do have to agree with this artist on that. I haven’t shopped in a WM in over 5 years and don’t intend to ever give them another penny of my money.

+++++++++++

I think that painting is one of the worst misuses of celebrity imagery ever. She may think she’s making a statement about the the deification of celebrities, but what she’s really doing is prostituting the images of Brad and Angelina’s children for fame, if not an immediate profit. Even if she doesn’t sell this painting or donates the money to charity, the free publicity she’s garnered from the project will ensure more PAID work for her in the future. She’s just another person making a buck off Brad and Angie, which wouldn’t be so annoying if she had left the children out of it.

Oh yeah…personally I love the Evil Empire that is Wal-mart. Especially the Supercenter. One stop shopping at it’s finest. There just aren’t too many places where you can do your grocery shopping while you’re getting your tires rotated and your oil changed.

***********************************************

I think the painting is supposed to be some kind of social satire, but it’s waaaaay too tacky for me to get really worked up about.

And I’ll try, for your sake, to say something positive about WM.

At least it lifts a person’s self-esteem to go there, because generally, if you are having a day where you feel particularly fat and ugly, well…… you’ll always see someone fatter and uglier than yourself at WM.

Sorry. That’s as nice as I can be on the subject of WM.

THANK YOU DRAGONFLY!!!!!!!! I was gonna give this very lecture but then i asked myself, why should I bother?…….if americans cannot “see which side their bread is buttered on” (as we say here in the tropics) and be made to act in their own interest then let them just sit there and in 20 years’ time, watch the chinese become the world’s next super power. Y’all better start brushing up on your asian languages if you want to be a player in the new world order. Sit tight.

I’m not anti-american, just anti-american stupidity. The ‘artist’ who has so blatantly exploited Ange and her kids wasn’t so much making a statement about them as much as she/he/it was commenting on the fat, lazy shop-til-you-drop types who pay no attention to the ubiquitous ‘made in china’ labels - and wont, until its too late. Someone on this board made a point recently about china buying up US treasury bills with all the money they make off you, via such places as walmart and wherever else in the US economy that made-in-china labels can be found. What happens when theyre ready to collect?

Add to this, the fact that children in public schools in the US are not making the best use of their education - ask oprah….certainly not like their asian counterparts, for example. So what quality workforce are you creating for the future? Why do you think so many IT jobs are now located in india? And its not only because they are cheaper, i can promise you that! You guys better wake up and smell the smokestacks in china thats burning so persistently and intensly that they can be seen from outerspace

Am one to admit when I’m wrong so sorry I thought you were commenting on the painting.

Same goes however–nudity does not equal pornography. I guess, like beauty, it’s in the eye of the beholder. Like jpf and DAMN, I think it’s a beautiful photo depicting a sense of freedom. Btw, animals have been used in a lot of photo shoots without it being labeled beastility. Something about the inherent wildness of animals fascinates photographers who want to capture that side by side with a model (Angelina used to be one)

dragonfly @ 01/03/2007 at 4:03 pm

I, too, love that picture of Angie and the horse. It’s beautiful, wild, and free. I’d love to have a poster size of it.

Well good afternoon!

Just got back from my show’s hiatus and back in the swings and here we are!

Well I am conflicted by this painting. I don’t like kids painted in the buff and legally this woman should not have used the image of the BAMZS kids in such a manner. I wonder if Angie will sue?

On the other hand, I think this painting has double meaning. The Fanistons are the women at Walmart on the bottom and Angie rises above their red state mentality.

The women on the bottom are crying a river and holding pity parties and Angie and her charity rises above it. The painter may be poking fun at Angie’s celebrity but in the end Angie has the last laugh for she indeed rises above the Walmart Jenny Craig Faniston bunch.

You go Angie!

I am an idiot hmm. Wonder what you are.

Good eye. I know exactly which one. It has the purpleish lighting I believe framing him, and the photo is of him from the lower torso. I said before a few times that it’s just one more thing Jolie-Pitt share. They’re very similar in that they each seem to know what the camera is looking for and they give it. They know how to convey a thought and idea so intuitively. Just look at the W layout, or the VOGUE photo of them. They may not do another movie together, but I think I’d prefer another photo essay instead.

Lola - thank you for your educated and intelligent comments about the painting - ITA! Perhaps you studied Art History/English Lit. at university too? ;-)

Passing Through - I get what you’re saying but I disagree that this will garner the artist future paid work - they may hope it will but I don’t think they aren’t talented enough for anyone to really sit up and pay attention. While the Wal-Mart details in the painting are cute, the angles/proportions on Angelina’s left side of her face and forehead are all “wonky” as one of my art teachers used to say. IMHO anyway. If something does come out of all this for the painter you can come back and say “I told you so!” :-)

Hi Missouri Fan, Alexanderina, et al! Just popped in for a “quick” scan today - lots to do. Hope you are all having a fantastic day - catch you again later in the week!

I think its sick that she and brad spent most of christmas day away from their own kids just to hand out toys to people that dont know or even care who they are - theyre just thankful to get the gifts. But Brangelina had to go for the big PR stunt! Atrocious and disgusting!!

Gossip from Janet Charlton -
If you’ve been wondering what in the world Angelina Jolie bought Brad Pitt - the man who has everything - for Christmas, we’ve got the answer. Clever Angelina knows her man loves modern art - and has, in his collection, a smirking mug shot silkscreen of Steve McQueen done by English artist Russell Young. It’s very Warhol inspired. Since Brad is particularly fond of Young’s colorful work (and so are WE,) Angelina bought him two more prints from the celebrity mug shot collection. In our opinion she selected the cream of the crop - Sid Vicious and Frank Sinatra. We all know what Sid was arrested for, but we were surprised to learn that Frankie was arrested for “adultery” in 1938.

I agreement with your post. Almost everything’s made overseas so most of the money we spend goes to other countries, a very small amount of their profits are shared as dividends to their stock holders, but the rest goes to their enflated corporate structure, and Corporate Executives. The only way they will “buy American” is if the vendor will cave to the price Wal-mart is willing pay, Which screws the company & it’s employees. As for employee benifits, when they start getting close to a full time status, they cut their hours so they won’t be eligible for any. Bah

FYI, others have already debated this to death in recent threads with many people making the point that the spirit of Christmas is actually reflected in Angelina’s and Brad’s act of giving to refugees on that day (btw the “publicity” for that was actually done by the UN since Angelina was visiting in her capacity as a UN amabassador.)

Worth noting, by the way that the gift giving tradition of Christmas, whether you think it is rooted in the tradition of the magi/wise men in the Nativity story or from St. Nicholas/Santa Claus, actually began with people (magi/St. Nick) giving gifts to strangers (baby Jesus/random children), not family members or relatives. So although the western tradition has evolved so that most of us stay home with the family all day on Christmas exchanging presents, that isn’t by any means the “only” way or the “correct” way to celebrate Christmas. By the way, do you think it’s also “sick” that people volunteer at homeless shelters or soup kitchens on Thanksgiving to help feed people that day rather than eat with their family? I don’t hear people criticizing that, even if celebrities are the ones doing it.

How funny to paint Jolie like an angel. I don’t think she believes in God does she?

Nelly,yes she believes in God.Angelina and Brad are not of any one faith,but they do believe in God.

She is not painted as an angel; rather as the mother of God (Shiloh), with M and Z as angels.

Hmmmm … the artist perhaps just wanna court some publicity and controversy.

I don’t Angelina is afffilated with any particular religion but I do think she is spiritual and that’s one way of being religious, IMHO. I don’t believe she’s an athiest though. Although her mom is Catholic, Angelina has been known to interested in the teachings of Buddhism and has a lot of prayers as tattoos on her body. She doesn’t really conform to any one school of thought, but she does strike me as a believer in God. It’s just that Angelina’s interpretation of what God is and what God means might be different from other people’s interpretation. And let’s face it, we all view God and religion differently so there really isn’t a right or wrong way.

With her bi-sexuel and incestious relationships. One can assume that she does not believe in God.

Obsessed with Aniston not me. I just post my opinion, and that is about it for me. I love myself too much to be a fan.

LOL. But you spend time on celeb blogs. How pathetic that you can’t fact the truth.

Sorry, that is how pathetic that you can’t face the truth.

This is fascinating.

I thought about this painting some more…..

So who is Brad Pitt supposed to be? Is he the light over her head? Is he God? Some interesting points this brings up.

Obviously the adopted kids are angels brought to save Angie. Shiloh is covered because she needs protection from the media.

This is a fascinating painting - the more I think of it. Also remember, in classic paintings like Michaelangelos kids were often depicted as naked angels -I don’t like it but it is fitting for the period the painting is trying to conjure up.

Any thoughts? Who is Brad supposed to be?????

Maybe the entire painting is Brad’s dream???????????

There’s a thought.

To Daisy - you are making excellent points - your posts are intelligent and to the point. Keep posting they are breathe of fresh air.

To Ugg - you just don’t get it.

___________
Yesterday you wanted Brad and Angelina threads to be only about Brad and Angelina. Now you are agreeing with Daisy who writes that people are spending too much time on Brad and Angelina. Maybe it is you that just doesn’t get it.

Here is his/her post from the other thread:

This site is such a bore. This is supposed to be a BAMZS thread and 75% is discussions about Jen Aniston, Oprah or peoples personal lives - as I said …. boring….. To all you who feel the need to share info about Aniston, Oprah or anyone or anything else other than the topic - please —- don’t. And I don’t want to hear you are baking cookies or hiding what’s on your computer screen from fellow employees. Lets get back to Angelina, Brad and family.

I just read the artists statment on the blog and she has depicted Angelina and children based on Renaissance paintings that contrast heaven and hell, in order to ask the question, who is blessed, the celebrity that our culture (not the artist) raises to exhalted status or the common man? In her blog, the artist quotes the bible, Blessed are the meek…

With her bi-sexuel and incestious relationships. One can assume that she does not believe in God.

Yeah, I guess Haggard doesn’t believe in God either. You know who he is right? the bounced leader of the 13mil member strong evangelical movement who had a standing quarterly appointment to get “twirled” by another male, and all while get methed out.

You sound stupid, ignorant and you can’t spell….it’s bi-sexUAL.

jpf

I don’t know, i sort of like it.

And Wal-Mart IS hell.

I like the drawing, I worship Angelina.

Some of you can check this out. I think I remember Angelina saying something about her not believing in God on that actor’s show with James Lipton. It was a long show, like 2 hrs and she said something like she respects people who do believe in God, but she doesn’t. Not exactly like that, but similar. I’d like to view it again.

At the time I thought that her nonbelief would have eventually came btw Angie and Billy Bob, especially if they had kids. I think Billy a strong believer in God since he is from the south and his mom is spiritual and gives readings and supposedly has some kind of power as a seer. I saw him talk about it on the same show when he was a guest.

Original jpf. Since I am French, you can forgive me my spelling this time.

That stupid Angelina is still making headlines.

For sure she does not beleive in God, only the loonies will think otherwise. It could be Angelina has the worse fans on the planet. And Just Jared is trying to capitalized as much as they can. Even posting a car , that used to belong to BP parents. This is so stupid there is no word to describe that one.

Kerri an *SS @ 01/03/2007 at 11:58 pm

That pathetic & ignorant Aniston spending her time again in Cabo with the paparazzis. Who wants headlines then Kerri? You & your fellow Fanuston are the scum of this earth. We need to clean up the cr*p you know.

******* new thread **********

brad in carribean with cate filming

Angelina and “Virgin Mary” PLEASEEEEEE.Whatz the world coming to ? Either the artist is obsessed with Jolie or she does not have a clue as to who “Virgin Mary” is.And I cant understand why she is such a big deal.A lot of celebrities have adopted children ,Nichole Kidman ahs done it, and so has Meg Rayn and coutless others, a lot of them also do charity work.So whatz the big deal?…oh its another thing that they don’t make sure that they have a ‘colorful family’ and their good deeds get maximum publicity.What a fake !”Virgin Mary” indeed.Oh ya, did “Virgin Mary” also kiss her brother ?

Dont hate, appreciate !!!!

Start the new year right by having love, LOVE !!!!

why u maniston fans are all pissed off? I thought u all are wasps so leave angie and virgin mary alone it’s none of ur business. it’s just an artwork for christ’s sake, too hard for u brainless to understand what does artisitic expression mean???

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Speaking of stupid: The grammar rule is “I BEFORE E EXCEPT AFTER C”.

You mispelled believe in your first sentence.

Spell check on your next post where you call people “stupid”.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Also: the word you want to use is “WORST” not worse when describing her fans.

Worse would be appropriate in the following example: “Being uneducated is much worse then posting on blogs calling people stupid when you can’t spell”.

Got it?

Oh one more thing:

“And Just Jared is trying to capitalized as much as they can.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^ What does this mean? I think you meant to use capitalize in the present tense not in the past tense.

Again, at least Brangelina fans passed 1st grade. How many times did you repeat Pre-K?

Thanks for the correction. But my point pass loud and clear.

^^^^^
Actually Kato, it didn’t. Take Webster’s corrections into account and re-write your post

Hi BCBG, sorry i missed your post but i’ve been offline for a while and am now on to the new thread about Brad and Cate and the crew in the Virgin islands, which is where you are now too, i understand, so if you pop back over here you’ll be able to see this response.
My *long* post about americans and china and IT and education etc., was in response to dragonfly’s post @ .
I think dragonfly made some excellent points and i was just agreeing and making some of my own, too. The points are mostly political so they probably have no place here and in any event, there are many other political and socially-conscious sites/blogs commenting on these issues.

cemar -

……….The points are mostly political so they ……

okay, if you’re trying to make some political opinions, i wont argue with you cos i dont keep up with politics other than reading the headline. but if you’re going to talk about economic, education issues and said “stupidity”, i certainly would argue with you.

apology, mis-spelled your name

going to the other thread

The painting looks very cheap. It deserves to be sold at Wal-Mart.

Angelina is beautiful and she is a great human being. ;)

I’m a fan of AJ and BP but I will not agree that I deify them. I just love watching their family pictures and the two of them together. I might be guilty of projecting my own fatasies… like I wish I were as beautiful as AJ; that I had children or that I had money to give to charity etc. It’s just a few hours of entertainment but on Saturday, I will still go to church to attend mass, twice a week I would still fast, once a month I would still go to confession, everynight I would still pray the rosary. I am certainly not replacing my spiritual duties with anything remotely connected to my favorite actors. Of course I can pray that God will bless them and all their fans.

I think converting Blessed Virgin is an orgy.
Though it urges people to believe in!
Who’s work is this??
Their PR office??
Why 2 children are naked??
