Brad Pitt Filming in the Caribbean

Brad Pitt Filming in the Caribbean

Brad Pitt (dressed in a Lacoste polo) and Cate Blanchett were spotted filming scenes earlier today in the Caribbean for their new film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Thank goodness Brad’s character ages backwards because all that baldness and that fat suit did not suit him. Plus, it gave him pimples.

A zit for Mr. Pitt? Well, according to Cate, the fat suit and the prosthetic make-up Brad had to wear caused him to break out in a rash. Cate told Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper: “We went through three weeks of make-up tests and he was covered in eczema from it all. We were talking about what we were going to do because our skin was taking a battering. So I had this girlie conversation with him and put these skin creams down, lined them up in front of him and he and Angelina went around the table trying them. Brad is so smart and generous. He’s so wonderful I love him. I don’t love him in the sense that I love my husband, but I adore him.”

A little more about the plot: As Brad’s character (Benjamin Button) regains his youth, Cate’s character (Daisy) grows older. The movie’s million dollar question: Will their love continue to grow? (I also wonder how young Brad’s character will get in the film.)

Brad, 43, and Cate, 37, were also seen taking a lunch break after filming a few scenes on a sailboat named “BUTTON UP.” Below the boat name is “NEW ORLEANS.” The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is directed by David Fincher (Panic Room, Fight Club, Se7en) and is set for a release between Christmas 2007 and May 2008. Light years away…

Wow!!! Gorgeous Brad!! :)

Thanks Jared! :)

# 3

WOW HE’S SO DORKY CUTE

# 4

is Cate Blanchett in everything? I am tired of seeing the same 10 actors in every movie…Hollywood seriously needs some more talent.

# 5

Heard they are in St John, AmVirginIslands. This film looks like it should be really interesting. Cate looks older, and Brad looks like he’s in his twenties in these pixs. Strange story, wonder if they will have Brad looking like his baby pixs as he ages younger/older and is a 70+ man who looks like a baby. Guess Cate may end up as his nurse? I need to try to read this story because the concept is fascinating. Angie and the kids and Cate’s family are supposed to be there with them. I think Cate’s 2 boys are about Mad’s and Z’s ages.

# 6

Wow, what a treat. Thank you, Jared. Mr Pitt is so good looking.

# 7

keep voting for what?

# 8

Ay! If he has to go back to a baby’s age, then Shiloh can play him. Wow!

I’d like to vote. Where?

Another thing - is that Angelina in the white pants, dark flowery top?

Wow, new thread ! Thanks Jared and Audrey….you’re spoiling us.
Brad really looks handsome, who else can rock a LaCoste shirt . This guy looks good in anything although I prefer him with nothing on.

Back to work! :) i wonder where the family is?
Brad sure looks fresh from his vacation in Costa Rica and Panama. :)

wow…with some more blonde highlights and a tan…brad looks really young

hot! muchos gracias, j@red!

My mom is always shocked at how good he looks for his age….and I don’t blame her. :)

Orchid, no that’s not Angelina in the white pants and flowery top. She’s not in these pictures. It’s just Kate, Brad and the movie crew.

Amaya, can you believe he’s 43? George Clooney is 45 and looks older than that but it looks like Brad is looking younger every year. lol

Alexanderina @ 01/04/2007 at 12:33 am

Thanks Jared for the new thread and pictures. Brad is simply gorgeous. I love the pictures

That’s pretty cool what HELLO MAG has on their site. I voted…..of course for BP/AJ. Whatever else I think of them there are two absolute truths about them: They are good parents who love their kids 2) they are really beautiful people ……

Alexanderina @ 01/04/2007 at 12:35 am

Good Night to all my fellow BAMZS fans

Oops, St John, USVI is correct name, not AMVI.

stardust,
I know! And he’s a DILF which makes him hotter lol Oh did you see the last thread? I have a hater on youtube….does this mean that I get to wear that as a badge of honor now?

Hey, you know having a stalker on JJ’s or youtube is a rite of passage. Congrats!

Wow, how could Brad look like a 20 year old!? This is why the former “golden couple” was in fact only one person. The other half is now just orange.

Stardust, Woo hoo! lol Someone else on youtube commented on my Margaret Cho video as if I was her. :lol: People are crazy.

I really liked seeing Barney on Countdown tonight…I think it’s because unlike Tweety, Keith actually lets his guests finish a sentence. It’s quite refreshing to see.

:lol: @ the ‘orange’ remark Be Sane

LMAO. So true.

Amaya,people thought you were Margaret Cho on youtube? LOL. :lol:
It’s sad that seeing people have a conversation instead of a rant is now refreshing when it used to be normal. :-\

———————————-

on to a different point, when I first saw Cate with the red hair and bandana, I thought that was Julia Roberts at first. Don’t they look alike?

Pittimpressions has HQ pics, lots of them!
Brad looks drop dead gorgeous and so young.
http://pics.livejournal.com/pittimpression2/gallery/0001xh4x

stardust, I actually thought it was Tori Amos at first lol

Yelling, and verbally attacking each other sells…not to me really but to a lot of people. I mean, why else would Glenn Beck or O’Reilly still be on the air? lol

Mrs. Smith @ 01/04/2007 at 1:10 am

WOW!! Thanks Jared! He looks GORGEOUS! And so young!

Ntt…I had the same thought myself, if he keeps regressing in age, perhaps Shiloh could play him as a baby. LOL.

Stardust…for a sec I also thought it was Julia Roberts too. Must be sunglasses, as I’ve seen JR in some like these.

St. Johns, USVI has some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. I can just imagine Z running into the water, ‘bold and brave’ like mom Angie says. I’d love to see shots like these, but then again, I also want them to have their privacy on those idyllic beaches.

VOTE…are you kidding? you people actually sit on the computer and vote.

L O S E R S !

Amaya,

YES! She looks like Tori Amos too. Wierd.

Speaking of people verbally attacking each other , I was flipping through the T.V. channels and I heard Trump starting that dumb feud over again with Rosie. I think he was on Showbiz Tonight and talking on his phone to the host…I didn’t even want to hear what he said…you should have seen me…I was literally trying to cover my ears with one hand while trying to change the channel with the other. LOL.

okay..I’m going to go and see if I can catch some zzz’s. Good night. =)

Who put these chicks in these categories? Ahhhh, but I voted anyway…..just call me a loser if you must. I know who I am.

My Gosh Jared, so much thread. I can’t even plan where to start reading the posts. My sincerest thanks to you & Audrey, JJ. Keep it up.

Britney, the most elegant woman , was really a joke. but I voted anyway for AJ, for fun!

GeminiDolly @ 01/04/2007 at 2:25 am

Wow, how did Brad do that? He looks younger than the last image I had of him. If preppy clothes and blonder hair makes you look this young, its about time I have a wardrobe and hair make over.

Talking about poll being jokes. NBC news just announced the results of a Gallup poll about the most admired man. George W Bush came in first.

Brad is drop dead gorgeous

Amaya, I’ve just finished reading both storie. I loved them. You are a brilliant writer. I love your writing style. Can not wait for more. Thank you for all the hard works.

He seems to be in a playful mood.

Mediterranean @ 01/04/2007 at 3:32 am

After seeing these photos of Brad, I just wonder why Brad has not played JFK so far. In these photos, he reminds me of JFK.

If you keep on voting for Angie in Hello magazine, if you don’t mind, would you please also vote for Princess Mary of Denmark for the most elegant woman?

Britney should not be on list even, all the things ( I could not call them vetements) when she was pregnant are still on my mind.

Brad looks so gorgeous! I can’t wait to see the film.

I hope Angie and the kids are somewhere around!

I am right behind you. Voted few times already.
Sorry will be out on a cruise for 1 week before the hurricane season comes.Will resume voting when I get back.

. We are just fans of Jolie who wants to see her win this one.

We are using our own luxury time at home not at work so it shouldn’t bother anyone.

^^^^

I can’t believe this! I woke up for a drink of water anc couldn’t get back to sleep. I decide to check in here to see what’s gone on while I slumbered, and the first thing I think when I see the photos is “man, Brad looks like a bonafide late 50’s/early 60’s circa Kennedy!” I have said in the past that there have been times when he and Angelina have evoked JFK/Jackie O, and Brad is definitely reminding of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Sr and even Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy in these photographs. I don’t know whose genes BP got, but he sure got blessed hand over fist.

Well it’s back to slumberland “hopefully” for a few more hours.

jpf

Well he really is cute in these pics……and he should consider wearing a beard constantly!

Cool clothes by the way.

missouri girl @ 01/04/2007 at 6:05 am

I bet J/A is jealous of Cate/B to…………gettin all the movies……..j/a has got to be mental b4 and after this never ending love story.LOL

Hi, all…
Brad looks cute and much younger than his age-honest!
But look what I read :
RUN, SHILOH, RUN!!!!!!
Jennifer Aniston is now ready to met Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s seven month old baby in person. An insider tells Life&Style, “She wants the chance to hold the baby and see her up close.”

Jen probably saw pictures of Shiloh and started thinking how Shiloh shoula/coulda/woulda been her golden child. Then she began asking herself why she didn’t agree to let Brad send up some of his soldiers and capture her egg so she could have her own perfect child. Lets just pray the Jolie-Pitt family doesn’t agree to any kind of meeting. Can you imagine, Jen holding Shiloh and all of a sudden some emotional flashback cause her to drop the savior.

————–Can you believe that piece of S*…??Will she never stop begging for attention????And she wants the meeting without Angie?!hah!

missouri girl @ 01/04/2007 at 6:07 am

Jolie is fer sure more Brads equal……….Jennifer blew it all because she wanted to bring Brad down to her level and rise above him/……………what a ditzy, selfish aniston

missouri girl @ 01/04/2007 at 6:09 am

I really wish I could of been her (ja) bff……I woulda told her what to freakin do at least to make the poor guy happy…….

missouri girl @ 01/04/2007 at 6:14 am

I gotta shut up because Jennifer is on my mind, why? u ask? Jennifer Aniston wanted fame and the spotlight, which she had with Brad, but she wanted more, she wanted to bring Brad down a knotch and she thought she had him wrapped around her little finger. Good for Angelina to step up and take over and show jeniifer how it should have been done, along time ago.. My new name is gonna have to be……Selfish Selfcentered Stupid Slow Sterile Jen………

missouri girl @ 01/04/2007 at 6:17 am

Mediterranean @ 01/04/2007 at 7:14 am

to ORIGINAL JPF,

I hope that you have got some sleep before counting the sheeps.

About Jackie Kennedy Onassis, I am not sure very much. If I have to compare her to any women in Brad’s life, I shall choose Gwyneth; snop, cold etc.

If I had been the wife of JFK Snr, forget about marrying Onassis, I would and could not have been married to someonelse at all. Onassis, yeak!

morning all…

Actual News @ 01/04/2007 at 7:44 am

These pics are from Honeymoon Bay in St. Thomas, USVI not St John. They could of been on St John for New Years but the filming is in St Thomas

BELOW IS A POSTING BY ONE OF BRANGELINA’S HATERS ON US WEEKLY A FEW MONTHS AGO. BUT I THINK IT IS WELL WRITTEN AND CAN BE TURNED POSITIVELY FOR ALL BRANGELINA’S FANS. ANGELINA HAD EXPRESSED HER DESIRE TO DO LESS FILMS IN THE FUTURE AND THEREFORE ACCORDING TO ME, I THINK SHE WILL BE A STAY AT HOME MOM FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND THEN GET INTO ACTIVE POLITICS FOR WHICH I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT. I AM SURE MR. PITT IS ENCOURAGING HER TO DO JUST THAT. NOT TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM HAD SAID THAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING MOVING TO D.C.

I WILL BE WAITING TO SEE SENATOR ANGELINA JOLIE-PITT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. GO ANGIE GO!!

*******************************************************************
Brad’s political agenda:

1. hook up with someone with political connections, example; Angina Ho’lie

2. Get kids to hold Newsweek mags in pics (Zahara when first adopted and Maddox, in kidnap capital, Haiti) to suck up to mag and make people think you care about politics.

3. Get gay vote by saying the real reason you won’t marry because you support them (not the real reason which is Brad’s playing the single card to try and hold what few fans he has left or b/c Angelina is on to him and doesn’t want him) _ this is actually plan B, first Brad put it out there that he was looking to play a gay character, but now offers yet.

4. Get the southern vote by telling people you will personally oversee the rebuilding of New Orleans - by dragging cameras around, wrenching your face to try and look concerned, and talking constantly about yourself. (Then maybe every one may credit you personally for the rebuilding and ignore all the organizations and people who have been there working and rebuilding long before Pitt needed to promote movies and himself)

5. Make fun of and hate on Mel - to get the Jewish vote (but he’s not getting mine - and I can’t stand Mel).

6. Sell the kids to get the soft hearts votes. Talk about them like they are mini ambasssadors for your image - not real kids who need respect.

7. Get your once interesting gal to dress in boring St. John clothes (No wonder the company is lossing money fast - who would ever think to put Jolie with the word ‘Saint’?). These are clothes Condelisa Rice and Hillary Clinton wear, afterall.

8. Make up stories to the press that Jen and Jolie are friends (like Jen cares about these two nuts) so as to try and get the Jen fan’s votes.

9. NEXT -For the Latin American vote - adopt from middle America (this I’ll bet money on)

10. Who knows what these opportunist will come up with.

WHOO HOO HOO!!!!! [clapping for 60 minutes straight!] THANK YOU JENNA FOR INTELLIGENTLY EXPOSING THE TRUTH!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR PULLING THE COVERS BACK TO REVEAL THE MOTIVES OF THESE SNAKES!!!!***

Brad’s intentions have been posted on several sights for the last 6 months, so it is no surprise he going to DC.

Actual News @ 01/04/2007 at 7:44 am

Why is the abbreviation for Saint blocked out? LMAO

Thanks Just Jared for the new pictures. Cate B is a good actress. BP is looking extra fine in those pictures and is also a good actor. This should be an interesting Movie.

thanks jj for a new thread with pictures of Brad and update of hiswhereabouts, love ‘im!!! hotness!!! he has such a boyish charm to him, yet he’s super sexy.

I so totally agree, meesh!, and I mentioned it a couple of threads ago. When I voted, I checked on the most attractive men, and couldn’t even see Bradley or even GC in it. WTF? And while I love Sean Bean (his Odysseus in Troy was to die for), I wouldn’t have voted him as most ATTRACTIVE man. And Robbie Williams? Puh-leeze! I have chosen Hugh Jackman (my other favorite) but he’s so far down in the rankings my vote didn’t even matter.

creativegirl @ 01/04/2007 at 8:17 am

Oh my gosh - I’ll just die if this movie is being filmed in St. John. We went there on our honeymoon and then back again for another vacation two years later and it is absolutely exquisite. They would probably stay on St. John I bet because it is so tiny and very easy to move around unoticed.

Looking at the photos I kind of felt that was where it looked they were and then when I saw the posts, I just died. Now I really won’t be able to wait to see this movie. There is just a special place in my heart for St. John. All of the US and British Virgin Islands are amazingly beautiful.

They are staying at Caneel Bay on Saint John which is where we went for our Honeymoon - I knew it would be there.

It is sooooo exquisite and a private compound with 7 private beaches, only registered guests can come in on the dock and be on any of the beaches. When we were there it was like we were the only two people there.

Another source says it’s St. Thomas where they are shooting.
http://www.onepaper.com/stthomasvi/?v=d&i=&s=News:Local&p=1153546850

Here’s link to Caneel Bay website
http://www.caneelbay.com/

It’s only a short ferry ride from St. Thomas to St. John, so I bet anything they are staying on St. John at Caneel for the privacy.

Mediterranean, I will vote for Angie, but not for the other, because my favorite is Rania of Jordan.

I like Hugh Jackman and Johnny Depp.

Brief: Major Movie to Film Scenes on Lindqvist Beach
by Molly Morris
Dec. 28, 2006 –- A Paramount movie starring major Hollywood actors will be filming sequences on St. Thomas next week. The movie, The Mysterious Case of Benjamin Button, is adapted from an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story.
Solicitor General Elliott McIver Davis said Thursday that he has helped with the legalities of obtaining a Coast Zone Management permit for the film company to work on Lindqvist Beach, which was recently acquired by the V.I. government.
Scenes also will be shot at Honeymoon Bay on Water Island, Davis said.

Thanks! It was really a no-brainer for me, after I saw Troy and then started blogging here and saw that no one had as yet chosen “Briseis”. Some posters have also commented on how they love my chosen moniker. Now, if I can just translate it to reality, being his love slave and all … ha ha ha! Ooops, now other posters will think of me as a “Brangelunatic” for my fantasies.

Julia Ormond’s character in Legends was Susannah Fincannon Ludlow — it’s okay but doesn’t stand out — maybe Isabelle Two Ludlow would stand out more? After all, Tristan did marry Izzy.

I feel like crying too , i went there on vacation.

I wish I would have thought of it. “Isabelle Two Ludlow”, gosh remember how he cried in that scene in Legends of the Fall when she got shot. Balling his eyes out after he buried her. Oh yeah - I may just change my name.

No one is interested in your lame blog. Go back to Jen’s thread.

think positive! @ 01/04/2007 at 8:50 am

So papa Pitt is back to work. The only thing this man have to do is save and cut his hair a little bit shorter and he is looking like he is in his twenties. And his body is still to die for! I really like his clothes too. I like Cate with her hair like that and her classic 60’s pair of sunglasses. I though they would have left Caribbean by now but apparently they are still there.

Does anyone know when the movie will be released??

BAMZS are there from Jan 1 and they are about to stay for 4 days of filming.(So I bet today is their last day there). And they are staying in Cannel Bay not to mention that they have been extremely guarded and that is why we haven’t seen any pictures of them out and about.

Dear BAMZ fans, “You DON’T have to wait 15 minutes to vote at Hello magazine. After a minute or two, TRY AGAIN. Keep voting for ANGIE.

So you totally know how I’m feeling. I imagine they probably rented “Cottage 7″ which is the private compound on Scott Beach that the Rockafellers would stay in. It’s totally isolated from the rest of the resort. We stayed on Scott Beach for our honeymoon and you could walk to one end of the beach and see a set of stairs leading down to the beach from the cottage. We were in room 70 and everytime we would give our room number the people would question us if we were saying room 7-D or room 70. We found out then that the cottage rooms are broken up into 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D.

It is sooooo beautiful. It really holds a special place in my heart. I can just imagine the fun that Maddox is having there, the snorkeling is insane. Right on Scott beach we had sea turtles swimming with us, sting rays. I snorkled for hours there.

Gosh, I’m making myself depressed.

stardust, I don’t like DT either. He is not a gentleman. He is a bore.

Oh, I know how you feel! I was in St. Thomas 6 months ago and it is so beautiful it can bring tears to your eyes! I love the fact they are filming part of the movie there, the Jolie-Pitt family will have an amazing and relaxing time while in the Virgin Islands. Here is a photo gallery of the resort where they are supposedly staying.

Thank you for the info!!

You’re welcome. I wouldn’t be surprised if they stayed a little longer. Caneel is extremely romantic, it’s lit up with torches at night. It’s intoxicating really. I felt like a princess there. We so want to take our kids there some day because they see the pictures and we tell them how amazing it was. But it’s soooo expensive, so I don’t know if we’ll ever make it back. Just to have that feeling again that we had there, it was magical. I cry every time I think about it.

Way to go Jared! Another thread just for us. Awwww we are flaterred. Love it. Love you Jared & Audrey. Love the Bamzser fans & of course the BAMZS.

Hi Ate Cha! Howdy! You know the new issue of Hello Canada Magazine has Angelina Jolie as their cover story. Gorgeous picture too. Do you want one? Just let me know so I can send you one. Chat later…off to work too.

Re: Hello Magazine. The way the finalists are determined are through monthly contests that run over the year. Each month there are six women in Attractive and six in elegant and then six men in the male category. Brad is in the current (January) male category right now. Although the last I looked Sean Bean was first in the male yearly vote off, Orlando Bloom and Clive Owen have huge fan clubs who seem to vote daily with both of them getting over 20,000 votes on the monthly. Angie may not make it either–the queens and princesses also have huge fan clubs. I’m just hoping Britney Spears doesn’t win. The thought of that gives me the want to blow chunks syndrome! I’m kind of brain dead this a.m., but Nicole Kidman has been a past winner I believe several times. As you can tell, I’m a Hello Magazine reader online!

Thanks Creativegirl for the link. So regular folks like us already knew why they are in the Carribean as early as dec 28. Lainey probably got her tip about them vacationing in the area for the holidays from someone working on the movie set. I can’t stop at looking at Mr Pitt’s pictures. PerezH has two pics of BP with comments scribbled on: “I’m hot” and “yes, you are”. So darn cute.

The reason I said Princess Mary, she is the closest person to Britney in this voting. I can’t bear Britney, sorry!

Rania is a very special woman from Middle East. In one of the magazines (Gala) in France, it’s said that she has been having problem with her husband King Abdullah. I hope that it’s not true.

P.S. it’s SNOB; not snop, pardon

Everytime I think of Bringing Sexy Back, I think of The Jolie-Pitts. Hollywood was sorta stale don’t you think with ref to sexiness before MAMS-But when these 2 hooked up on screen the e- was like splitting the atom!-Jolie was already sexy and Brad well, I really never thought of him as sexy, just smart, articulate and cute. But from the moment he looked at her in the first scene of MAMS, I was like-Hold up! Then the Bogata dance happened and it was just over. JA should have filed right after that scene because it was evident to me that these 2 were gonna have a future. They totally brought sexy back. In fact, my little boy (the 7yo) is obsessed with anyword that has sex in it. Another kid beat me to the punch when explaining sex. The kid told him sex is when 2 ppl get naked and rub their butts together. When my son asked me I told him THAT IS NOT TRUE! It’s just what “Christian’s” parents do (of course Christian is the little boy who told him that). Anyway the kid wants to know who invented sex anyway-well you know I had to tell him-This guy named Brad Pitt and his wife Angelina! Yep they invented it!

I think Mary is deserving ‘Mediterranean’. I too love Rania but Mary has a larger fan base at the moment. The Britney run-up is probably a disgruntled group who want to stick it to HELLO. Two years ago there was a group incensed that Aishwarya Rai didn’t win even though her numbers were through the roof. Apparently there was some computer rigging that slammed the votes for her and HELLO recognized it and didn’t give her the title. Could be retribution to the mag via the Britney votes.

Looks like if the Departed wins for Best Picture at the Oscars Brad won’t get an Oscar and neither Brad Grey. (Thanks to intothegrinder)

Grey loses push for credit on ‘Departed’
Paramount’s chief had a key role in getting the film made but may miss out on Oscar glory.

By Claudia Eller, Times Staff Writer

And the Oscar may not go to … Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey.

Grey on Wednesday lost an aggressive bid to be recognized by the Producers Guild of America as one of the producers of Martin Scorsese’s hit crime drama “The Departed.”
That means the producer-turned-studio chief has zero chance of walking away with an Oscar for best picture should the Warner Bros. film win unless he takes his case to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Even then, the academy, which will award the gold statuettes on Feb. 25, would have to overrule the guild’s decision.
But any such move to appeal carries big risks for Grey. Not only could it come off as an unseemly grab for personal glory to Hollywood insiders and his bosses at Viacom Inc., it would put him in direct competition with his own studio. Paramount’s “Dreamgirls” and “Babel,” which also received guild nominations, are strong contenders for the best picture Oscar.

In unveiling its annual nominations Wednesday, the guild deemed Graham King the film’s only eligible producer. The guild decided just before Christmas to reject’s Grey appeal to be named as a producer should “The Departed” be honored.
Grey was instrumental in getting “The Departed” made at Warner Bros. when he was a top Hollywood talent manager and producer, acquiring in 2003 the remake rights to the Hong Kong hit drama “Infernal Affairs.”
Grey helped Warner hire screenwriter William Monahan and sent the script to Scorsese. He also played a key role in helping negotiate the deals for such key cast members as Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg.
Last week, Scorsese and King wrote a joint letter to the guild, asking it to reconsider.
“Brad absolutely got it to be a go-movie and, in my opinion, for that he deserves credit,” King said in an interview. “However, I don’t make the rules and I do respect the guild’s decision making.”
Others who lobbied on Grey’s behalf included Warner Bros. production chief Jeff Robinov, who gave the studio’s endorsement to crediting Grey. Steven Spielberg, whose company DreamWorks SKG is now owned by Paramount, purportedly encouraged Scorsese to speak up because the guild’s decision seemed arbitrary to him.
Vance Van Petten, executive director of the Producers Guild, declined to comment on the decision, citing confidentiality rules.

The guild will hand out its awards Jan. 20, three days before Oscar nominations are announced.
Grey’s position as head of Paramount probably cost him the credit. He started work more than a month before the movie began production in April 2005. He recused himself from the hands-on producing duties and spent no time on the set.
According to guild rules, executives who work for a studio or financier of a film can’t earn a “Produced by” credit unless they “demonstrate a commitment of time and resources to the production of such significance that such commitment is tantamount to taking a leave of absence from his/her executive duties.” Grey wasn’t working for Warner Bros., but guild officials were concerned his Paramount job kept his focus elsewhere.
On the screen, Grey and Brad Pitt, his former producing partner, are listed as producers along with King. But under an agreement aimed at reining in the number of producers trying to grab Oscar glory, the academy accepts the Producers Guild recommendations as a stamp of approval.
Producers can appeal that decision to the Academy after it unveils its upcoming nominations Jan. 23. Producer Bob Yari last year made an unsuccessful attempt to retain credit on eventual Oscar winner “Crash.”
Grey declined to comment. People who have talked to the studio chief said he was angered by the guild’s decision but had not made up his mind whether to appeal to the academy. Scorsese reportedly advised Grey on Wednesday to appeal to the guild’s executive committee should “The Departed” be nominated.

If Grey does nothing, the Producers Guild’s decision stands, according to Academy Executive Director Bruce Davis.
Grey made a strong push to get the credit on “The Departed” before Christmas, after the guild decided during an arbitration procedure weeks earlier that King was sole producer. The guild arbitrates an average of 10 to 15 cases a year where a film has more than three producers or, in a case like Grey’s, when a producer holds another full-time job.
Each producer is asked to submit a three-page eligibility form specifying what functions he or she performed on the movie. About four dozen tasks, including selection of the director, securing financing and being present on the set, are divided into four categories.
Of those groupings, the guild weighs development and post-production at 30% each; and pre-production and actual production at 20% each. Essentially, a producer must be responsible for 50% of the tasks.
Grey’s proponents claim that under the guild’s own rules, the studio chief should have qualified for credit because of the heavy lifting he did on the front end. At the same time, King, who was hired by Grey and Warner Bros. shortly before “The Departed” began production, had no hand in the film’s development or pre-production but was on the set every day once cameras rolled.

Indeed, it was Grey who, with Warner, first approached King about producing the movie. King, who had made two previous films with Scorsese, “The Aviator” and “Gangs of New York,” was in the midst of signing an overall production deal with the studio.
Although he may not get an Oscar, Grey can still take comfort in receiving a piece of the profit for “The Departed,” which has grossed nearly $120 million domestically to date.
Grey did receive a nomination Wednesday from the guild, but in TV for “The Sopranos.” He has long been a producer of HBO’s hit mafia series, which he helped launch in his former role as head of the Brillstein-Grey management and production company.
A spokesman for the guild said that the eligibility rules for TV series and movies differ since television shows run for extended periods, whereas films are a one-shot deal.

think positive!

Thanks. I just scrolled through to BSActor and did not see his name … my bad!

Thank you Bluemoon for the SAG nomination news. I am disappointed that BP wasn’t nominated, but at least the whole cast is. I root for Rinko to win best supporting actress. I know Cate is excellent in Notes on a Scandall, but she had many awards already, and more to come, I am sure. This probably will be Rinko’s only chance, and she was outstanding in Babel. I am sure she will be in a lot of Japanese films and win a lot of Japanese awards, but not HW related awards. Rinko for best supporting actress, please.

thanks jared!!! i thought cate was julia roberts until i read the caption.

Unfortunatly , I think it will be hard for Brad to get nominated for the Oscar for Babel. I think some in Hollywood will seem fit6 to nominate Eddie Murphy for DreamGirls since DreamGirls is the latest movie with all the buzz. I hope I am wrong.

Someone at Bradforums is claiming that we will likey see pictures of BAMZS from New Years Eve in People and Hello.

What a competitive year this is for all the nominations. A lot of really strong performances in all the categories, I think all of them are up for grabs, even Best Picture. I hope you are wrong about Brad, too, I do so want him to get a Best Supporting Actor nomination for an Oscar.

The real lou @ 01/04/2007 at 10:14 am

lol I would have done the same. Oh and it looks as if …although it’s not concrete, that the friendship between BW and DT is kaput since they both called each other liars :lol: Actually I think DT actually said liar and that BW said that his claims of her not liking Rosie were false. Oh and it turns out that BW is close friends with Cindy Adams, she actually called her a “journalist” :lol:

tabitha - you are wrong about the oscars. The SAG awards are a wierd duck this year, because there is/was confusion over where to place Leonardo DiCaprio for his performance in The Departed. If Leo is placed back in Lead for The Departed, Brad still has a good shot at a nomination for Babel.

Dreamgirls also DOES NOT have all the buzz anymore, let me tell you, its all about The Departed. The Departed is better reviewed, has great commercial success, and is on WAY WAY WAY more critics top 10 lists, and has won way more critical awards than Dreamgirls.

Phie, welcome back.

Lookwhaticando, I wish. :lol:

Brad always seems to never get the respect he deserves, I saw Babel and he was amazing. Also what about Matt Damon, he was awesome in the departed. At this point I am starting to have doubt if Brad will even show up at Oscars. If the departed wins best picture he won’t even get the oscar. Brad gave the performance of his life …it sucks.

Thanks for the tip, bluemoon. This does look like a new interview, and this was taken when she still had her Shiloh boobs. Is it available now?

The real lou is right — let’s wait and see before we depress ourselves. And then we have also to remember that Steve McQueen (to the best of my knowledge) never won an Oscar, and Paul Newman got it so late for a performance that wasn’t even his best … and of course, perfect example is Martin Scorsese, one of the best directors around (director of my favorite Raging Bull) and yet never won an Oscar — so you could be the most talented in your field and still not win. Sometimes you have to be a favorite to win (like Clint Eastwood) and Tom Hanks.

Thank you!! I was about to say that. Brad has still a chance to get a nomination for his role in Babel as Best supporting actor. That will be his second nomination for an Oscar and his is already nominated for a GG and it’s his second time as well. In the majority of the award shows Babel got a nomination as a movie or cast or directing.That a lot of recognition!! Brad will have many chances to get an Oscar nod as a producer in the future. He has many other great projects to work on.

Is that a US or UK cover of Elle? Is it out, yet? I hope there is an actual interview with Angelina.

Brad will get an Oscar nom….

we shouldn’t get into worrying about his success as being measured by his awards.
Robert Redford has never won an oscar for acting he was nominated in 1973 for “sting” and he didn’t win, he was 37 yrs old. He did win an oscar in 1980 as best director for “Ordinary People”. Yet look at what he’s accomplished in the world of motion pictures. He’s respected, loved and don’t forget the Sundance Festival. Some actors are in this world to win prizes, others to make a difference. If Brad can do both, the awards would only be the gravy at the top.

Loves me some Bradley, badly

Cindy Adams @ 01/04/2007 at 11:09 am

As to the trend for movie stars creeping behind the camera, comes now Brad Pitt. You already know his production company’s titled Plan B. What you don’t know is he plans to become - bit by bit, film by film - a full-fledged, all-out producer. And with whom is he specifically looking to produce? You won’t believe it. But believe it. Borat. Can you believe it? The two B’s share art, architecture and film. They’re friends. Sacha Baron Cohen even introduced Brad to graffiti artist Banksy, from whom Brad bought a $400,000 painting. Anyway, they now plot a co-project. I don’t know what. Maybe something about cultural learnings to make benefit glorious nation of Malibu.

About Jackie Kennedy Onassis, I am not sure very much. If I have to compare her to any women in Brad’s life, I shall choose Gwyneth; snop, cold etc.

If I had been the wife of JFK Snr, forget about marrying Onassis, I would and could not have been married to someonelse at all. Onassis, yeak!

After I signed off I thought “I hope people do realize that I was speaking strickly in regards to the physical.” Mediterranean, you disappoint me, I thought you knew me better lol.

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

There is a magazine article in which Brad was asked about winning an Oscar, and I believe he said something like he didn’t want to be first, he didn’t even want to be second, he just wanted to stay in the game (sorry if I’ve butchered it and hopefully someone will know the article and the exact quote!) He has certainly stayed in the game for a very long time now and is still going strong. As he’s said before, he loves film and loves just being a part of it. Not that he wouldn’t appreciate the recognition of winning an Oscar, but he will be just fine even if he doesn’t.

tabitha,

Sascha did an in depth interview with Rollingstone this year as himself of course. It’s rare when he does that because he wants a private life so far he’s maintained one. Although even he acknowledges that he can’t have it both ways. The guy who did the interview was surprised at how reserved and soft spoken he was. Usually actors who portray really outrageous characters are shy/the total opposite of their alter ego in real life like Michael Myers and Megan Mullally.

Here’s when an interview from 2003 where he’s himself.

we shouldn’t get into worrying about his success as being measured by his awards. Robert Redford has never won an oscar for acting he was nominated in 1973 for “sting” and he didn’t win, he was 37 yrs old. He did win an oscar in 1980 as best director for “Ordinary People”. Yet look at what he’s accomplished in the world of motion pictures. He’s respected, loved and don’t forget the Sundance Festival. Some actors are in this world to win prizes, others to make a difference. If Brad can do both, the awards would only be the gravy at the top.

Loves me some Bradley, badly

^^^^

I totally agree. Of course I don’t know, but Brad just doesn’t strike me as someone who does what he does in hopes of awards. I don’t think he’d be unhappy about winning, but I also don’t think he lays awake at night worried about recieving accolades for his efforts. All that regarding Robert Redford is so true as it is for his friend Paul Newman who I love, and in many ways find Brad really similar. Even before the personal life comparisons (Paul & Joanna-Brad & Angelina) Brad reminded me of him in that non pretentious, “I can’t believe you’re that fine and not a jerk” way. I think Brad is highly thought of by Bob Redford and Paul Newman because I beleive he reminds them of themselves in many ways.

That is right!! Brad have said many times that he really dosen’t care much if he will ever get an Oscar or not. Actually what you wrote is the exact words Brad said. The article is an interview he did in the summer of 2005. And he also said it again when he was in the Babel premiere in L.A back in November 2006 reggarding Oscars that he dosen’t need it to fufill him and that he is happy right where he is in his life. It would be great if Brad wins but if he don’t he will still have the honor and respect.

This is a HOOT! I was searching for something completely different and came across yet another Jolie topped list for 07 as dream passenger, and get this “it’s a motorbike rider poll!” Brad, the #1 bike enthusiast in the family came in at #9!

—————

BIKERS DREAM OF FILM BEAUTY JOLIE

Hollywood beauty, Angelina Jolie, has been voted the bikers all-time dream pillion passenger, a survey revealed today.

Jolie topped the poll for the MCN London Motorcycle Show ’07, which included fellow stunners Milla Jovovich and Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson. Boyfriend, Brad Pitt, whom the ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ star is often seen riding pillion with, came in ninth spot behind ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Long Way Round’ actor, Ewan McGregor.

Now an accomplished biker, Jolie first learnt to ride on the set for ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’ so that she could do her own stunts. She now owns a BMW F650GS and a stunning £10,500 MV Agusta Brutale.

Jolie scooped a quarter of the votes, managing to hold-off seven-times MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi and glamour girl favourite Keeley Hazell.

Legendary 70s motorcycle champion, Barry Sheene picked up 7 percent of the vote in fifth place, with voluptuous 1950s pin-up, Mamie Van Doren, in tenth offering a revealing insight into the minds of British bikers.

The MCN London Motorcycle Show at ExCeL on February 1-4 2007 features breath-taking stunt action, the very latest new motorcycles, new product launches, hundreds of bike accessories along with a chance to meet celebrity riders and, of course, the MCN babes.

Entry costs £13 in advance or £16 on the door and includes free entry to the Carole Nash Live Action Arena. To book tickets in advance, call the ticket hotline number on 0870 730 0049 or visit http://www.londonmotorcycleshow.com

Top Ten Dream Pillions as voted by visitors to motorcyclenews.com

1 Angelina Jolie, Hollywood Actress,25 percent

2 Valentino Rossi, seven-times MotoGP world champion,21 percent

3 Keeley Hazell, glamour model,20 percent

4 Ewan McGregor, Hollywood actor and motorcycle explorer,14 percent

5 Barry Sheene, 1977-78 world motorcycle champion,7 percent

I film with Matt McConaughey, he was a guy that never moved out of his partents house. I did not see it, bcause it looked dumb

Cindy Adams as usual is snarky but Brad and Sasha are friends. They share the same agency, CAA. When Sasha was kicked off the cover of Vanity Fair so the magazine could put Brad’s picture on the cover, Brad was mad too because

1. They used his picture without his permission

2. Because Sasha is Brad’s friend and Brad wanted Sasha to get the recognition

Sasha baron Cohen in real life is very sexy and intelligent. It’s true, Cohen did rent a home from Brad when he first came to LA. They’ve been friends for a while now.

Also, let’s clear up this Elle magazine rumor. It’s an old picture. Angie has always had fairly medium sized boobs , so it isn’t a post baby picture. It’s an old picture and they probably used the quotes from the new Vogue interview to cut and past together a sloppy interview so they can add their own biased comments.

Everyone wants a piece of Brad and Angie right now, so when they can’t talk directly to them, they go find other under handed tactics to milk some money from the cash cow that is “Brangelina”.

It’s not a new interview. Elle just wants a piece of the pie so they slapped an old picture of Angie on the cover and called it a day. Now, in the magazine they’ll claim, they got an “exclusive” interview. blech.

I find this comment so telling in the sense that Cate Blanchett is an Australian (so she’s not really a part of the HW scene), has not been in many box office hits (except for The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and yet she has been making movies right and left, and she’s a mother. Unlike some TV stars who have been in Hollywood for about 12 years now, was married to a producer/actor, and thought of herself as some hot shot, and yet now couldn’t get a movie off the ground so she’s “taking the time off and enjoying herself.” Ha ha ha!

That’s exactly what I thought. I bet he’s grinning from ear to ear, and also plotting. Remember how competitive they say they are with one another, so I’m betting Brad is tightning up his motorbike game. Btw, #2 Valentino Rossi is one of Brad’s favorite people on earth. This is what he said about him in the Esquire 06 interview:

——–

“He’s the fastest man on a thousand cc’s. This guy is a magician. He’s mesmerizing. He probably weighs a buck fifty, and he’s the fastest man on two wheels. It’s speed, but it’s also balance: These are the guys who are laying the bikes on their sides and not going over. These are the guys who are riding on their knees and elbows. It’s pure ballet, on the most powerful motorcycles in the world. Rossi has won the title for the last four years. He doesn’t get rattled. He has a sort of innate sense of balance that’s beyond mortal man. He’s like Lance Armstrong on a motorcycle. Just poetry to watch.” ESQUIRE October 2006

Sadly, I rented Failure to Launch, despite hearing all the bad reviews. I did the same with Rumor Has It and guess what… they both sucked. COLOSSALLY.

Re: Sacha Baron Cohen…
I’m not the least bit surprised that Cindy Adams is showing her snobbiness and ignorance. Cohen is Cambridge-educated and, believe it or not, devoutly religious. His fiancee, Isla Fisher, is even converting to Judiasm, which is surprising because these days, most people would opt for an interfaith marriage instead of converting.

Anyway, I find him very sexy, maybe because of the duality between his personal and professional lives. And the dude is fearless, which adds to the allure.

Mediterranean,

I respect your views about Jackie and JFK Snr, but don’t you think how JFK Snr. treated Jackie was a disservice to her? It’s been known that the women that married into the Kennedy family did not have the best marriages.

creativegirl @ 01/04/2007 at 12:41 pm

Here is the link to where Jen says they are.

http://water-island.com/

This would actually make even more sense than Caneel for them. It’s private so they could stay there and film there with no real issues. I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough.

JFK broke his marriage multiple times with all his affairs with other woman. I certainly do not hold it against her that she married another man a few years after JFK’s death.

Brad is looking so good, I could not believe that he is still so hot after all these years since Thelma and Louise. The awards season is upon us and I can’t wait to see Brad and Angie at the Golden Globes.

Hello everyone!

I have been lurking on and off (been kinda of busy with reports) Anyway, I thought I would add my two cents to this one. Why would you feel that Jackie dishonoured JFK? IMO, she was and will be one classy former First Lady. If you think about the flurry of events leading to her marrying Onassis you will see that she had a lot to consider as far as personal safety. It appeared that the Kennedys were being targeted from all avenues. (Cuba, mafia, white supremist etc, etc) I think when Bobby was assassinated she experienced some form of fear and she wanted out. When she married Onassis she had to give up all of her entitlements as a former First Lady (ie security and benefits). She did this to get out of the country for some sort of self preservation. Additionally, JFK was dishonourable to her in life. I sometimes wondered if the 2 chldren that they lost due to his STD issues.

to JOY,

Like some people, I also believe that the assassonations of the Kennedys are much deeper than we have been told for years.

If CIA, FBI and the rest of the securties in U.S.A couldn’t save Jackie and her kids, did you really believe that Onassis could do so? If she wanted to live in another country, did she have to marry someonelse, someone like Onassis? Actually, both of them used each other perfectly. Jackie used his fortune and Onassis used her marriage to Kennedy for PR all over the world. Kennedy was loved and the most famous the President of U.S.A.

If JFK Snr dishonoured her, why didn’t she just walk away from all Kennedy world? Did she really take money from the her father-in-law not to divorce JFK Snr?

What did she do as the first lady of the country beside the renovation of White House?

JFK Snr kept her in his life as very good accesory. Although I adore JFK Snr, I would not approve his infidelity at all. But it was Jackie’s choice to stay married to him, am I wrong?

So, voting for Angelina as the most attractive woman of 2006, Johnny Depp as the most attractive man (Angie should have an A-lister sharing her cover) and Princess Mary of Denmark as the most elegant (for credibility, of course). Ah… and Brad for the weeky hunk. :)

Uffff, so tiring being a true fan, never thought so much work was involved. Newbie to this business I may be, but my heart is in the right place. :lol:

Also, I got a sudden urge to - after securing Angie’s gold medal star voting for J.Morrison (WTF?), Nic, Salma, Cate, Kylie, Emma something (WTF again?), even that brunette Queen… a good poll shouldn’t have a horseface near the podium and a victory is only significant if the runners-up are not in a category light-years away from that of the winner.

It was very uncommon for woman in the 50 and early 60’s to leave their husband. It was even more uncommon for woman to leave rich and powerful husband like JFK. In the Good Shepard interviews angelina alluded to this . I don’t agree with all the bitterness toward Jackie . Especially when it seems like JFK seems to be let off the hook by you for being unfaithful multiple times. I really have never been enamored by the Kennedy saga. I don’t hold it against Jackie for trying to keep her children safe. What she did was out of fear for her children safety and her love for her children.

*touch wood* about the death thing. meesh is a nick name for my name Michelle, which is the female name for Michael who is the Archangel in the bible. But I’m no angel that’s for sure!

Now, I’ve officially changed my name so you will know. I sent you a message to your youtube account with my e-mail address! we found a way to do it, see? I should have thought of it sooner but I can’t think of too many things at once and I’m usually fantasizing about Brad.

This is how my name change evolved:
the poster named briseis has the name of Achilles love slave in TROY I was so jealous, but she came up with a name for me from a film. So I thank her and promise not to be jealous anymore!

And now, Tristan is my babydaddy.

the end

happy new year.

to JOY,

Like some people, I also believe that the assassonations of the Kennedys are much deeper than we have been told for years.

If CIA, FBI and the rest of the securties in U.S.A couldn’t save Jackie and her kids, did you really believe that Onassis could do so? If she wanted to live in another country, did she have to marry someonelse, someone like Onassis? Actually, both of them used each other perfectly. Jackie used his fortune and Onassis used her marriage to Kennedy for PR all over the world. Kennedy was loved and the most famous the President of U.S.A.

If JFK Snr dishonoured her, why didn’t she just walk away from all Kennedy world? Did she really take money from the her father-in-law not to divorce JFK Snr?

What did she do as the first lady of the country beside the renovation of White House?

JFK Snr kept her in his life as very good accesory. Although I adore JFK Snr, I would not approve his infidelity at all. But it was Jackie’s choice to stay married to him, am I wrong?

^^^^

There are some great books by real historians and not glorified gossipers posing as biographers out there that will tell the story better than I could. Jackie was much more than someone who brought French food, Olag Cassini/Halston, and a sense of style to the whitehouse/America. No, she wasn’t Eleanor Roosevelt, or Hilary Clinton, but in her own way, she is as important to our history as they are. Just her dignity, bravery and calm when her husband was assisnated set a tone that still amazes those who were part of those times. Camelot was but a short while, but it was an amazing moment in America’s history, and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was a major player. Yes, she caught hell for marrying Onassis but I fully understood her reasoning and don’t blame her one bit. Again, it would maybe do you better to read about the life she came from, how she was raised, how her circle was raised, the Kennedy’s history etc.

to ORIGINAL JPF,

I have read only about the Kennedys. And from what I read, her father was gambler and alcoholic, she had a Frech root which amased the Americans, she was stylish for her time and big spender because of it also. She knew the matter of game and played it almost perfectly.

The Kennedys love THE POWER, and the father Kennedy would do anything to have and keep it.

I do respect all of your opinions, but I still don’t like her.

I am not an American, I am a woman and very pround of Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Clinton.

go to your account page and on to upper right on the top, there’s a little envelope next to your user name click it and let me know what happens. [if there are like a bunch of them, it's just cuz I kept trying....I'm not a stalker :lol: ]

One last comment on Jackie O and then I’m out. She was neither saint nor devil. She loved her children and like most parents wanted the best for them. Jackie O also loved money and could shop with the best of them. That was her addiction and I don’t use that word lightly. Her marriage to Onassis, imo, also had a lot to do with his bank account. Again like the Kennedy men, the women also had their own demons but don’t we all.

Talk to you all later BAMZS Fans. I’m out.

Thanks tabitha and Ojpf for stepping in on that one for me. I was sitting here trying to find a way to explain without coming off as argumentative. If there is one thing that I have learned it is that if a person takes a dislike to someone for whatever reason changing their mind is a near impossibility. Mediterranean we will just agree to disagree about Jackie. ;)

Those photos at X17 are great. There are some new ones that we have not seen before.

I’m confused. Are there two different polls - gallUp and gallOp ???

the pictures on x17 were great but I left them a little note about not bothering the kids.

It was good to see them smiling and seeing Angelina drinking some bubbly to ring in the new year. I hear the weather is very humid and hot in Panama. They both looked a little sweaty because of the heat. It’s nice to Angelina is not vain and doesn’t mind wearing the same clothes rather than changing her clothes for every outing.

While I am praising for keeping it casual, I think if Angelina glammed up her look by even 5% during her day to day life, she’d leave all the wannabes in the dust.

Mr. Pitt, I am serious, if you want to see your missus receiving the noble peace prize, 20 years down the line, you need to quit smoking.

Hello fellow BAMZSers,

Remember Brad and Ange’s famous W magazine spread (who doesnt)? (July 05 issue)
I never really saw the magazine when it came out, just pieces of reports from other sites and on tv etc. And, in light of how much has happened since then and how much of a fan of theirs we all are, i’ve wanted to see what all the fuss was about. So i did a google search and here’s the link to the photos in the spread (http://www.style.com/images/w/feat_story/060605/main_pict.jpg)

And here’s a reprint of the accompanying article: http://www.style.com/w/feat_story/060605/full_page.html

Enjoy!

Sometime last year, Brad Pitt began giving a lot of thought to unhappy marriages.
The actor was in Los Angeles filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Doug Liman’s thriller about a glamorous husband and wife who are secretly hired to assassinate each other. While the movie uses domestic ennui as a backdrop for a series of high-style action sequences, Pitt wanted to tell a darker, truer tale, one that explored the “unidentifiable malaise” that so often haunts a seemingly happy couple. “You don’t know what’s wrong,” he says, “because the marriage is everything you signed up for.”
That was the inspiration for this photo shoot, which Pitt created with photographer Steven Klein. Tired of celebrity portraiture and always up for an artistic “jam sesh,” as he calls it, Pitt (who’d teamed with Klein and W in 1998 for an equally risqué layout, inspired by the film Fight Club) essentially codirected the photo series, while starring in it alongside his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar and purported new love, Angelina Jolie. He opted to set it in 1963 (the year he was born), a time when the last traces of the squeaky-clean Fifties were giving way to something more complicated. “The facade was still being maintained,” he says, “but things were starting to crumble underneath.”
As you might have heard, Pitt’s own marriage broke up recently: Jennifer Aniston filed for divorce in late March, as our photo shoot was under way in Palm Springs. Pitt, calling in early May from the Moroccan set of his next film, Babel, is inclined to emphasize the positive aspects of that particular union. “I know that if a marriage doesn’t fit a certain idea, it’s looked upon as a failure,” he says. “But I see mine as a total success. My God, man. Jen is such an influence on my life. We made it for seven years—that’s five years more than I made it with anyone else.” Even at a time when the tabloids are depicting a contented Pitt and Jolie strolling on an African beach while Aniston supposedly scowls her way around Malibu, Pitt says he and Aniston are still close and will likely remain that way. “We’ve been able to keep the love that we have for each other in front [of everything else].”
A self-described “Zen master” at tuning out the intrusions of the tabloid press, Pitt allows his meditative calm to collapse when he talks about the paparazzi’s recent conduct, particularly their treatment of Aniston. “These guys have been incredibly despicable this round,” he says. “They should literally be hung up and flogged. You wouldn’t believe the s— they’ve been saying to Jen. She doesn’t have a nasty bone in her body, and they are yelling horrible things to get a rise out of her so they can get more money for their pictures.” Even as he speaks, he and his Babel costar, Cate Blanchett, and her two children are being stalked by two photographers who’ve snuck onto the grounds of their hotel in Ouarzazate. “They’re scaring the kids,” Pitt says. “Some of these guys need a beating.”
As for Jolie, Pitt calls her an “incredibly talented” actress, but beyond that he’s determinedly mum, clearly because he’s picturing his every word as a three-inch headline on the cover of the Enquirer. “Well, I just don’t want to … I really don’t … let me see. I’m really wary, in this particular climate, of commenting.” After a long pause he says, finally, “I just can’t find any safe bets.”
Jolie, calling a few days later from her home in London, gives it a go. “The thing that makes Brad a great actor is that he’s a very genuine person,” she says. “Anybody who’s met him would know that. You can read him, and you can feel that there’s something open and approachable and interesting. And he’s just very real. Whether cameras are rolling or not, he doesn’t change.” She adds, “He’s very solid. I think you know you can count on him.”
The benumbed, salon-perfect housewife in these photographs, who seems far more interested in her nails then in her children, reminds Jolie of what can happen when you become “absent from your life,” as she puts it. Jolie herself doesn’t appear to have that problem; at 30 she’s raising her three-year-old son, Maddox, flying her own plane and holding human rights press conferences in Islamabad. But she knows a few things about marital dysfunction, having been divorced twice (from Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton), and she states flat out that she’s not very good at being a wife.
“I haven’t learned how to work as well in partnerships as I do as an individual,” she says. “I’m better alone.” The key, she believes, is finding someone with goals as ambitious as hers. “Basically, I think there should be a reason for you to be a unit. Not just to be happy, but to actually accomplish and change, and take on the things you want to take on in this life.”
One wonders how the famously uncensored actress feels right now about having to stay silent about her role in the biggest offscreen drama of the year. Just fine, she says. “People want an answer about what’s happening in my life and my family, but I need to know what’s happening first,” she explains. “And I don’t plan to discuss it before then. It’s not about censoring myself. It’s that there’s nothing to say until I know that there’s something to say.”
Coincidentally or not, both Pitt and Jolie have lately been drawn to new pursuits that take the focus off their screen-idol selves. “I’m so bored with me,” Pitt says, sounding as though he might really mean it. At 41, the actor is aware, and perhaps relieved, that his pinup days are numbered. True, the torso he first showcased in Thelma & Louise retains the same chiseled splendor 14 years later, and nobody Pitt’s age has abs like that without making them a very serious priority. But with time, Pitt laughingly notes, in place of the six-pack, “there’ll just be a keg.” He’s now more interested in things he can create, from buildings to babies, and in luring the press with him to Ethiopia and South Africa, on the off chance that they’ll notice the millions of AIDS orphans there. Pitt has also been spending long hours on his motorcycle, blissfully unrecognizable beneath his helmet. “It’s great,” he says. “No one has a clue. You’re just another jackass on the road.”
Jolie, too, gets her biggest highs while operating heavy machinery, but her vehicle of choice has wings. “Flying solo really is the most amazing feeling,” she says. “And the freedom of it is something I’ve desperately needed my whole life. Now I really don’t feel confined to this earth.” While on the ground, Jolie has taken the intensity that once made her Hollywood’s favorite badass babe (with a taste for S&M sex and self-mutilation) and redirected it toward her work as a mother and a UN goodwill ambassador. Having declared herself uninterested in anything as banal as a boyfriend, she’s kept her liaisons outside the house for the past few years. “The man that enters my home with me and my son—I take that very, very seriously.”
She does have an idea about who such a man might be. “Somebody who just really works hard, and loves,” she says. “That has not been an easy thing to find.”
“Domestic Bliss” by Christopher Bagley has been edited for Style.com; the complete story appears in the July 2005 issue of W.

Thank you so much!!!
It’s so funny!!! Z is simply adorable.

Zahara is adorable. Her reaction to the water is very cute. =)

There will always be something special in Brad and Angie to sustain their superb megastar status. Both are talented actors, Angie more recognized through her Golden Globe and Oscar awards with Girl interrupted and the HBO movie,Gia. Brad on the other hand has always been underrated, like his predecessor, Robert Redford, their good looks seem to be a deterrant to their exceptional talent as actors.
As I checked out various celebrity blogs, Brad and Angie’s life together is admirable. They are travelling the world doing humanitarian work and bringing awareness to causes almost forgotten by the press. They don’t party like so many celebrities. They don’t seem to live the shallow and superficial life in Hollywood. Together, they share a a wondeful family life raising their 3 children. Angie’s wish for the new year is priceless- goodhealth for the family and spending as much time together. What a remarkable woman whose career is sizzling. She can have all the movie projects she wants but she is telling us that her family comes first and her humanitarian work second. Brad is fortunate to have her in his life and vice versa. Brad supports Angie in every way. As a Brad fan, I have never seen him this happy and fulfilled.

I remember when Angie said, how Zee could not swim but immediately ran into the ocean. I thought that was sweet. The entire family is sweet.

look at how tall zee is! and she’s having a good time. she must love the water. didn’t angie say in a recent interview that zee tried to run into the ocean while they were in goa? she’s a beach lover like her parents.

zahara looks like hehe me…

Personally, I would love to see photos of Brads parents with Bamzs. Maybe it might shut up the ones who claim Brad parents don’t like Angelina.

I have friends from Ethiopia, and it’s strange that some are very tall and lanky, and some are short and petite, and yet they all still resemble each other with the large eyes, foreheads, and just handsome features. I see Zahara with these long legs, and I have to think she may be one of the taller ones. One thing in common is that I have never met a heavy Ethiopian. My friend Merritt was the heaviest, but he still wasn’t thick. He also was Jewish and his diet was not vegetarian like a lot of them. He ate alot of meat to be honest, and goat specifically. He was shorter, but he still had those same features also similar to the Somalis.

Isabelle II - I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU!

You got a great name!

Thanks for the pictures. Zahara is cute and seem to be having a ball. AJ is very beautiful in the close-up shots and has an annoyed expression like Zahara when they see the paps.
I scrolled down X17 and saw pictures of Britney looking like Baby Jane in “What every happen to Baby Jane” and quickly scrolled back up to see more pictures of BP and AJ. Britney needs a makeover fast. Hopefully, in time for her new album release. (Just kidding all you Britney fans)

Brad Pitt Was best Dressed In 2006

Los Angeles (eCanadaNow) Brad Pitt has topped a list of the best dressed men in Hollywood, beating out competition from other stylish celebs like Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio.

The ‘Babel’ star was named the Best Dressed Man by ‘Access Hollywood’, with ‘Jarhead’ actor Jamie Foxx taking a respectable second place and ‘The Departed’’s DiCaprio following in third.

Leonardo DiCaprio Adopts African Child…Sort Of

Los Angeles (eCanadaNow) - Leonardo DiCaprio has jumped on the African Adoption Bandwagon…with a twist.

While making Blood Diamond, DiCaprio met a little girl from an orphanage. After playing and talking with her he became fascinated and decided to adopt her.

But he does not plan to raise the child. His support will be financial and his parenting will be over the phone.

Other celebriteis who have adopted include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as well as Madonna.

Nasty snarky comments from Liz Smith

ANGELINA JOLIE spent Christmas with refugees in Costa Rica. No wild holiday parties for her or hubby Brad Pitt. Maybe she’s getting ready for her Nobel Peace Prize close-up.

Well, as concerned as Angelina is for the orphans and homeless of the world, she seems to be lacking the same “sensitivity chip” as Jennifer Aniston once said of their mutual squeeze, Brad. People are still talking about Angelina’s recent Vogue interview where she said she wouldn’t mind sitting down with Brad’s ex and thrashing things out.

According to the grapevine, Jennifer Aniston is stunned and infuriated at such an idea because Angelina’s remark just put Jennifer on the tabloid weekly covers, once again, as “heartbroken.”

I don’t think Jennifer Aniston is heartbroken; probably more like wondering when Brad and Angelina are going to start leaving her alone.

http://www.nypost.com/seven/12292006/gossip/liz/the_bad_is_good_liz_liz_smith.htm?page=2

I think what Leo did is more like sponsoring a child, not adopting “with a twist”. Nice to know he’s also trying to make a difference but comparing the adoption of Zahara and Maddox to what Leo did isn’t the same.

The next thing we’ll know Z is also wearing and loving sun glasses. harhar!!!

ANGELINA JOLIE KNOWS WHAT BRAD WANTS

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.

(Off topic - Nice story about Wyclef Jean becoming an roving Ambassador for Haiti. His “Yele Haiti” foundation is one that BP and AJ supports.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6230247.stm

Wyclef becomes Haiti ‘ambassador’
Rap star Wyclef Jean has been made a roving ambassador for Haiti to improve its image abroad.
He was appointed to the role by Haitian President Rene Preval as “our best asset to promote the country’s image around the world”.
Jean was born in Haiti but moved with his family to Brooklyn, New York, when he was nine years old.
He already runs his own foundation, Yele Haiti, to aid what is the poorest country in the Americas.
“We wish we could have several Wyclefs because the country could have gained so much,” Foreign Affairs Minister Renald Clerisme told Reuters.
Mr Preval has been joined by Jean on a three-day visit to the island of Jamaica.
Jean, 34, gained fame as a member of the hip hop trio The Fugees, who won Grammys in 1996 for their album The Score and single Killing Me Softly.
This year he has been nominated for a best pop collaboration Grammy for his performance with Shakira on the hit Hips Don’t Lie.
Haiti’s government credits Jean with successfully lobbying the US Congress for a “passage of a trade” bill expected to help create textile manufacturing jobs in Haiti.

Jennifer Aniston & Brad Pitt: What’s Next?

As they celebrate their first anniversary, Hollywood’s hottest couple prepares for their biggest role ever.

By Judy Kessler

A Little Game of He Said/She Said

“Happily married! Fat! Kids!” he said.

“He loves the idea of having a huge family,” she said.

“The planning is under way,” he said, eight months after their $1 million wedding celebration.

“I love everything about them,” she said, describing her feelings about babies.

“Listen, I’m ready now,” he said.

“I want to be a young mother, too,” she said.

Although there might be room for further dialogue, there’s little doubt where Hollywood’s royal couple, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, has stood on the matter of children — even before their wedding took place. “You sort of know if you are a person who wants to be a mother,” Aniston has said. “I always did.”

For his part, Pitt was just as sure: “I believe in the concept of marriage and family, and it’s always been my intention to take this step and build a life with someone.”

So who could be surprised to learn of a beautiful baby looming in the couple’s near future?

The perfect relationship, combined with the perfect time in their lives to have children, makes the prospect of a baby all the more exciting. At 32, Aniston has, in her own words, “evolved.” She has clearly come a long way from the confusing 20s to a solid relationship with Pitt, an established career and considerable peace of mind. “I’m excited to be thirty,” she said shortly after her birthday two years ago. “It feels like an accomplishment…like no more excuses.”

Despite their place at the top of Hollywood’s A-list, this is a couple that sets priorities when it comes to the delicate balance of family and career. After the Emmys last year and before the big party that followed, the two went to a Los Angeles hospital to visit their friends’ newborn. “We jumped into the car, looked at each other and said, ‘Let’s go to Cedars-Sinai,’” recounted Aniston. “‘Let’s go to the hospital before we go to the party, just
to get a burst of reality.’ Those awards shows are so surreal — fun but surreal.”

As her friend of many years Kristin Hahn, a bridesmaid at Aniston and Pitt’s wedding, explained, “It’s so easy to get lazy when you have everything at your fingertips. They challenge each other to have real intimacy, as opposed to getting away with what the world allows them to get away with.”

Force of Nature

There was chemistry from the instant they met, an electric connection that sizzled on their first date three years ago and has only grown more powerful since. “We’ve felt pretty much like a force from the beginning,” said Aniston recently. That’s not surprising, considering their similarities. Both wanted to be actors; both possessed an artistic streak — he with design and architecture, she as a painter. Both headed for Hollywood to pursue their dreams, neither knowing the other would be waiting there at the end of the rainbow.

At 25, Pitt left Springfield, Missouri, in his beat-up Datsun with $325 in his pocket. His first job after arriving in Los Angeles was foul, dressing up like a chicken to wave customers into a Pollo Loco restaurant. Around the same time, in 1989, Aniston, barely 20, fled New York for points west, after attending the renowned School for the Performing Arts. Her goal was as much to escape a difficult childhood (her parents had divorced when she was nine, and she has spoken of her insecurities growing up), as it was to pursue an acting career.

Both Aniston and Pitt floundered for a while upon arriving in Hollywood. After working in commercials and TV shows, Pitt landed the role of the swindling but irresistible cowboy in 1991’s Thelma & Louise . From there, it was right to the top: Legends of the Fall , Seven and this year’s hit with Julia Roberts, The Mexican , to name a few. There were relationships along the way, including a very public engagement to Gwyneth Paltrow, which ended with a painful breakup in 1997.

Like her husband, Aniston was, at first, just another poor young actor. For many months, she waited tables and worked as a telemarketer, messenger or receptionist. After a few false starts, in projects like the ho-hum thriller Leprechaun and two short-lived TV shows, Aniston was flatly told by her agent at the time that her success would be contingent upon becoming thinner. Throwing herself into a strict regimen of diet and exercise, Aniston lost 30 pounds in a year.

Almost instantly she landed the part of Rachel on Friends. Then came feature roles in films like She’s the One and The Object of My Affection . This fall, she’ll star opposite Mark Wahlberg in Rock Star . (Looking back, with concern about the pressures on teenage girls — including the pressure to be thin — Aniston has volunteered to advise them by way of the Web site Voxxy.com. She urges teens to work on their overall well-being, with less concern about outward appearance.)

Aniston, like Pitt, had her share of romances — with Counting Crows lead singer Adam Durvitz and actors Charlie Schlatter and Tate Donovan. She dated Donovan for more than a year, perhaps her most serious involvement until meeting Pitt. But post-Paltrow, post-Donovan, when the two finally met on a dinner date, there was an instant and mutual attraction. “It’s great when you can be each other’s sounding board,” she has said.

At Home With the Sexiest Man

Since their wedding a year ago this month (July 29), the fusion seems to have grown even stronger. “Married life is fantastic,” Brad said last year, after being voted “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine for the second time. “The thing I was least prepared for was the pride I have whenever I look across at this woman. We’re pretty much after the same thing, just great respect for each other.” That, in turn, has engendered respect from the couple’s colleagues. Jason Flemyng, who starred with Pitt in the recent film Snatch and has a part with Aniston in Rock Star , has only praise for his co-stars: “They couldn’t be more generous. There’s no status hierarchy at all.”

Their friends take pleasure in watching the Aniston-Pitt marriage blossom. “Jennifer’s a lot more peaceful now,” said Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow recently. “There’s not a lot to say about them because there are no problems. They’re both light-years ahead of themselves. You know how your grandparents have a certain perspective about life? They’ve got that now.”

They’ve also been working nonstop. Aniston’s role in Rock Star has started to generate some favorable buzz. She’s sure to surprise many of her TV fans with her gritty portrayal of the devoted girlfriend of a salesman (Wahlberg) whose life changes when he replaces the lead singer in a popular heavy-metal band. Pitt just finished filming Ocean’s Eleven (with, among others, Julia Roberts and George Clooney), in which he plays the Dean Martin character. Next comes To the White Sea , a film by the Coen brothers ( Fargo ; O Brother, Where Art Thou? ), in which Pitt portrays a World War II gunner shot down over Tokyo.

Career aside, Pitt maintains that the most important consideration for him and Aniston is their marriage. In answer to how he balances acting and his personal life, he recently replied, “We’re pursuing a relationship first.” When they’re on location, they keep in touch by cell phones — and visits to their respective sets. On Valentine’s Day, Aniston arrived at her Friends dressing room to find it overflowing with roses; on the wall Pitt had spelled out — in rose petals — “I love my wife.”

When they’re together, they’re homebodies, seemingly seeking a sense of normalcy. Home life could soon revolve around the Craftsman-style house the couple is restoring in the hills of Hollywood. (Other reports have had them looking to buy one of Los Angeles’ legendary estates.)

Settling into marriage has left Aniston open to the next phase of her life. No doubt her biological clock has been a consideration as she inches toward 35. Time is clearly on her husband’s mind. Three years shy of 40, with his desire for as many as seven kids, Pitt said recently: “Look, I’m in my thirties…I don’t want to waste time.”

Aniston has high hopes for motherhood. “I’d like to be the perfect mom,” she said in an interview, “but someone for whom it’s okay to be flawed.” When asked during an online chat about raising children in the spotlight, she replied, “You have to keep them away from that world. . . . You have to keep their lives very normal.” And, in what seemed like a reference to the children in her future, she added: “Being raised with a silver spoon has a lot of downsides. Kids have to realize there are chores and jobs. . . . It’s not all glitz and glamour.”

It’s a sentiment few Hollywood couples seem to understand as keenly as Aniston and Pitt. Staying grounded amid all the challenges of celebrity is a sure prescription for a happy home — for a family of any size.

WTF is this? We were all going so well, so fine with our conversations, sub-conversations, and NO ONE — NO ONE — has even brought up Chinocchio Fraudiston’s name. Then you came up with this long, lameass, OLD OLD OLD article about Brad and the X when they got married. WHAT IS THE FREAKIN’ POINT? Yes, they were happy together at one time — but the point is, they were not on the same page after awhile, he wasn’t the love of her life, their marriage was a merger, (their words, not mine) …. so as with 50% of couples in the US, they filed for divorce.

Sheesh, get over it already! It’s been almost two years, must be the longest mourning period EVER for a F*CKING DIVORCE WITH NO KIDS INVOLVED!!!!

brad also admitted to being in therapy and of having thoughts about suicide the first two years of his marriage. Yes siree he was so very very happy indeed.

Frenchy Says:
Garcelle Beauvais is great. I love her on the old Jamie Fox show. I think Wyclef has been quite active and vocal in his support of Haiti through bringing awareness and education about Haiti and the problems/solutions there. Maybe they can work together on various projects.

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.

We all should remember that whenever “exclusive” pics are posted on blogs, the mags that paid for them will police the internet to see if anyone has them.

So, if Jared removes the pics and we post here the links to other sites, the people who are policing this blog will follow the links and force the other sites to take the pics down.

Maybe we should have a “secret” code for the other sites.
Any ideas?

“Settling into marriage has left Aniston open to the next phase of her life. No doubt her biological clock has been a consideration as she inches toward 35. ”

“Time is clearly on her husband’s mind. Three years shy of 40, with his desire for as many as seven kids, Pitt said recently: “Look, I’m in my thirties…I don’t want to waste time.”

CLEARLY SHE DID NOT CARE ENOUGH ABOUT HIM TO LISTEN TO HIM AND TO UNDERSTAND JUST HOW IMPORTANT CHILDREN WERE TO HIM. BRAD WAS SPEAKING FROM HIS HEART WHEN HE SAID “Look, I’m in my thirties…I don’t want to waste time.” THEY WERE NOT ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT WILL OFTEN MAKE OR BREAK A RELATIONSHIP.

BRAD NOW HAS THREE CHILDREN, a five year old son, a 2 year old (in four days) daughter, and a 7 month old daughter, AND HIS ______ HAS NONE. SO WHO REALLY WANTED CHILDREN AND WHO MAYBE JUST SAID SHE DID BUT ACTUALLY DID NOT. THERE WAS NO REASON WHY IF ______HAD A PROBLEM HAVING A CHILD, THAT THEY COULD NOT HAVE ADOPTED AS BRAD HAS NOW DONE. HE WANTED CHILDEN, PERIOD!

And I am certainly not advocating that a woman must have children just because her partner wants them, BUT I am advocating COMPLETE honesty between partners about such important basic relationship issues such as whether or not to have children.

TGS has made $40,855,220 in 13 days.

Considering it was made for $110 million and its box office return was not expected to meet the cost of the budget…this is pretty good. It’s only been in theater for barely 2 weeks…if the word of mouth continues…it’ll probably make quite a few more millions more at the box office.

And it has yet to open in foreign markets. or come out on DVD. And most movies make their money by the DVD rentals.

I’ve really been thinking about the foreign mkts, and I think it will do well in those places where espionage between America and those countries historically was a primary concern and the twists and turns will be more understood. I truly believe when all is said and done the movie is going to surprise everyone with a nice profit. I love a slow and steady climb over a bust out, fast climb, and then forgotten in HBO land.

stardust,
Z is a child of many faces. My favorite is the “disinterested model look” that she had on during their family photos right after Shiloh’s birth. Ms. Diva was SO over it lol

Not only will Stephen replay the laugh he’ll also do his mean impression of it. Personally, I hope he plays Tubbs-Jones doing the cabbage patch too. :lol: And during Nancy’s speech they showed Hastert and he couldn’t have been more down. He was barely clapping.

I had no idea that Jefferson owned the Koran either, he even has his initials on it too. I wonder if Goode or Beck ever suspected if Jefferson ever worked with our enemies? lol

I have to hand it to Barney again. I was flipping through the channels and I caught him on Fox News telling the host to stop interrupting him but I didn’t watch the rest because I have feeling it’ll end up on youtube :) At that moment, I bet he was thinking “Man…I miss KO”

I said he WAS happy with her.

This was in In Touch!!!

I bet he was happy with Gwyneth and julliette at one time too. just like i’m sure angelina was happy with her exes at times as well.

=================================

That’s not the point. Point is, why was it necessary for you to post that long interview here. If you are mentioning the past tense, then leave the past behind and live in the present. Why are you trying to stir the pot?

Okay, since this B.S. was posted already, I might as well comment on one thing that has been bothering me about her (it’s kinda shallow but what the hey …)

“I love everything about them,” she said, describing her feelings about babies.

“Listen, I’m ready now,” he said.

“I want to be a young mother, too,” she said.

Young mother? At 31-32? To me when I was that age I was already panicking because I hadn’t gotten preggers yet and had been married four years. I thought I was OLD! Young mother is 19-25 … after that it is no longer young.

That interview shows how happy they ONCE was. It also shows Brad thought he married a woman who wanted kids as much as he did. Young Mother? lmao…she lied bigtime, 8 months into that marriage he was ready. It obvious kids was important to Brad and he married so he could start his family…Aniston had another agenda.

someone posted the link in the comments section at http://www.hola.com — under brad and angie’s story.

Observer2 @ 01/04/2007 at 7:01 pm

Aniston said in an interview she gave a few months after they were married that Brad told her he’d give her two years until he’d start pushing for kids and that suprised her because he was ready right then to start.

What did she do when two years came, signed on for two more years of Friends, one year at a time. AFTER the writers had already made her character pregnant.

And his HH house, yeah, Brad had bought that with the hope that is where he’d live with his family. Aniston hated the house.

They were never on the same page about anything. Kids, homes nor businees. Pretty big aspects of their life.

WAS is the operative word. I don’t know many that have said he wasn’t early on, but, something and many things happened to make it more work than it was worth.

Amaya,

Yeah…I remember the “disinterested model look” in people magazine right after Shiloh’s birth. She had a regal look to her.

But the one I liked the most was when Zahara was pictured in New Orleans and Angelina was carrying her. Zahara had her hand up and it was like she was asking “Why can’t you leave my mom and me alone?”

She did not look happy. I call it the “I’m about to smack you on the head if you don’t stop taking my pictures right now look” :lol:

Hastert couldn’t even get his hands together to clap once. I missed the cabbage patch thing…I hope Stephen DOES show it too. I heard on the news that the senator that did swear on the Koran was sent thousands of emails from aound the world telling him good luck. It was a big story around the world.

the old interview was done when Brad was 37 and __ was 32 when they just got married. That’s 6 (SIX) long years ago. They are now 43 and 38. Get it .

anyway as someone mentioned above . reading this interview tells alot about someone’s personality. Brad for one never changed.. he loved children . __ on the other hand TALK TALK TALK about all sorts of things . Remember TALK is cheap . ACTION is what counts.

I can talk about wanting babies, wanting a relationship with my mom, wanting to oscar. The real distinction between a DOer and a TalkOnlyNoAction person is evident in the years that follows. That is what separate a Winner from a Loser , A Leader from a Follower.

Nuff said.

The real lou @ 01/04/2007 at 7:08 pm

Mm,(((((((((((((((CLAPPING)))))))))))Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing I’ll say is I don’t think Brad was ever happy with __. She played this character around him and agreed with whatever he wanted to become Mrs. Pitt. Once they married, she slowly changed her tune and showed her real colors. Brad was happy once with the cocept of what __ was. He wasn’t happy with __…just the idea of what kind of woman she was…which turned out to be a fake one.

So he was happy the concept of what his life was…not knowing that __ was just molding herself into becoming the person Brad wanted so she could get her golden ticket to fame as his wife.

There, I won’t comment further. Had to rant…sorry.

Listen up a.s.s.h.o.l.e, “who apparently is not only keeping tabs on me, but you’re obviously somebody I intimidate enough that you feel the need to hide behind a new name before you “set me straight.” I put the link to the site were I got the story and InTouch wasnt it, and nor did I see any reference to it mentioned. Had InStyle been the source, I wouldn’t have knowningly posted it. Now get back to stalking me like you obviously spend time doing.

He was also planning on having Kids with Gwyneth Paltrow. I remember reading about him buying a stroller for her. No wonder she freaked and cheated on him!

Stardust,

Z is such a little firecracker :) Her “Bring It!” look is great too. I was not able to achieve that look as a child. See for yourself lol

In my head I heard the “Wonk..wooonk” when I saw Hastert. I think Jon might show the cabbage ptach since he likes to do it a lot lol. I like Keith Ellison and I didn’t understand the anger that some people felt. I hope he does some good along with Jim Webb or as I call him Ballsy McBalls :lol:
