OlderBrad 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…

January 5th, 2007 at 10:17 pm - isn’t this interview recent? As in more recent than any other that we’ve seen (in print anyway)? That was my understanding.
No, her comments about thinking she’d feel a connection to a biological child that she didn’t to her adopted children (but then saying she didnt) aren’t new, she’s said them several times over the past few months. What is new is her saying she feels the opposite - more for her adopted children.
I am not reading too much into it, I don’t think. I think I’m taking it exactly at face value and looking at what she said, not what I THINK or what I WANT her to have said. Plus, I’m not saying that neither she nor Brad don’t love Shiloh, I’m sure they do. But like I said, I’m taking her comments at face value, with her saying she feels MORE for her other children and has to remind herself not to feel differently about Shiloh.
ANGIE LOVES MAD ,ZEE AND SHI. BRAD LOVES MAD, ZEE AND SHI.
BRAD LOVES ANGIE, ANGIE LOVES BRAD. THEY LOVE THE KIDS. THIS FAMILY IS CREATED FROM LOVE. THEY HAVE NEVER, EVER SHOWN US ANYTHING DIFFERENT. HOW MANY TIMES DOTHEY HAVE TO SAY THAT THEY LOVE THEIR KIDS. i BELIEVE THEM.
why is this a big deal? for months people have been implying that angie and brad treat shiloh differently as if she were more precious than their other children. when that didn’t work, they decided that angie and brad didn’t love shiloh as much as zee and madd because they didn’t take her out. now, here you go, angie basically says she’s not inclined to coddle or prefer shiloh over her other children because that degree of worry she has for them is different. zee and madd are more fragile and precious to angie because of the circumstances under which she found them–circumstances which she could not control and which she took great effort and love to reverse. shiloh was born with a diamond binkie waiting for her, privileged from the moment of conception. zee and madd were not. that doesn’t mean that shiloh is unloved or unwanted or that angie tosses her aside if zee starts pouting. or that madd will get a second helping while shiloh starves. it’s a simple feeling/perception that shiloh is stronger because she never experienced the sickness and suffering that madd & zee did as infants. she’s never been abandoned/orphaned, so that measure of compassion that angie feels in addition to parental love is less defined where shiloh is concerned.

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT! Seriously, you nailed so many situations it’s not funny. My mother will tell you in a minute that she didn’t want children. She is also someone I wouldn’t trade for anything. I I have a sister who as a young adult almost died twice, the first time from a brain tumor, and then a few yrs later she was seriously hurt in a car accident. She’s also the kid who was my mom’s “Maddox” in that it was just the two of them for awhile until my mom married my dad and had other kids. I know my mom feels different about her, but it’s never felt like she loves the rest any less, and it’s a testiment to how great of a parent she is IMO.

#853-Great post gitane. I totaly agree with everything you said.
Think Positive,I have been asking myself that same question for the last hour.I even made my husband read the article and asked his opinion of what Angelina was trying to say.He even GOT IT.
OMFG this is just to freaking much. Angie loves all her kids equally. She does not favor one over the other. How many freaking times do she need to say that. Some people need to get a freaking life and stop bashing Angie.
JMO….
Maybe Angelina is compelled to ‘feel more’ for Maddox and Zahara because the press, so-called collegues and casual observers don’t feel enough. Maddox and Zahara are her older children; they’ve been with her longer and yet people have no problem referring to them as orphans despite the fact that they are her children.
What she is saying is that she feels for their situation more. Not that she loved Shiloh less than Madd and Zee but that she is concerned for them in the larger scheme of things, their position in the family etc. Shiloh, by blood has two sets of grand-parents, aunt and uncles that will feel a natural pull for her. Shiloh, (which is why she qualifies her statement) will never lack an identity. The other children will. Angie recognizes that Shiloh occupies a very special status based on the biological bond she shares with her mother and father. The media and everyone else has already started to place her above the other children. It would be negligent of Angie not to be conscious of their special situation. That’s what she means.
This interview was conducted while Angie was in India. There have been interviews where Angelina has been interviewed in the United states after she returned from India. They were comments made in late November / December not Sept/Oct like this one. I think you are overeacting now to her comments much like you did while Brad/angelina were in Europe /africa and did not show public affection that you wanted to see. We will have to agree to disagree on this just like we did in the Spring concerning Brad/angelina’s feeling for each other. Like I said, I had to look at her comments multiple times to get a clear understanding. Even when looking at face value, I never felt she was referring to loving Shiloh less thanher other children.
Hey guys, have you any of you played 20 Questions? It’s online and I of course had Angelina in mind when I clicked on 20Q people. For me, it took 16 questions for “it”/the site to correctly guess it was her.

What the h*ll happened here?? Why every f*cking time an interview releases we are having endless discussions about a certain thing they said??
Why the hell is so difficult for some to comprehend it??
It’s pure English people..
^^^^
Call me nuts, but I love when we have these debates! I respect FITR even if I disagree, and I love this site because the more and more I look around, this is the only site, only blog where we actually get into the meat of a subject most of the time without it blowing up into something akin to PH, CT, or Dlisted. I really think this is the reason it’s so intimidating to some “we have conversations, debates and arguments without resorting to namecalling, and just debased beyond belief ugliness.”

—————————————-
If you really took her comments on face value as you say you wouldn’t repeat a word she didn’t even said in the interview. She never said that she has to REMIND her self to feel for Shiloh. What you don’t seem to understand is that we are basically saying the same thing here. Angie “feels” they way she does about Madd and Zahara because of the pain they came through and that Shiloh didn’t face all that because she has been fortunate from the start unlike “her other tow children” as you want to call them. But that dosen’t mean that she loves Madd and Zahara more than she loves Shiloh.
Original jpf, Lylian, TP and Gitane and the others, GREAT POSTS AND VERY WELL SAID((((CLAPPING & BRAVO)))).
ok,ok.this looks like femalefirst…..lolz
thank god my mother isn’t famous and giving candid interviews about her feelings toward her children. while she loves us all, she’ll let everyone know in a hurry that her oldest is her favorite (’cuz she’s the butt-kisser) and her youngest is a pain in the ass (that’s me!). what’s more, that butt-kissing sister of mine was a sickly baby. always in the clinic, accident-prone, fragile. i was born a month late, healthy and have yet to break a bone or endure an overnight stay in the hospital. when i sneeze, i’m lucky to get “god bless you.” my sister sneezes and the world is about to come to an end. it’s compassion, misericordia, sympathy for difficult circumstances, that extra concern because you’ve seen the suffering and don’t want to see it again.
853 - gitane - THIS comment from you >>>zee and madd are more fragile and precious to angie because of the circumstances under which she found them–
ExtraTV is going to interview Brad, they are going to ask him about Angie and life on the road on Monday.

I had to come out of lurking mode for this…
Boy it’s really disgusting to read these f***** up comments about Angelina loving Mad and Z more than Shiloh! Where the h*** did those interpretations come from? It is obvious from everything that Angelina has said that she loves all her children equally. Even if she hadn’t said a word, it’s OBVIOUS that she loves Mad and Z by the pictures that we’ve seen of them together. It’s OBVIOUS that she loves Shiloh because she’s HERE. Before Brad, Angelina said she was not going to have biological children. She starts a relationship with Brad and BAM she’s having his baby. Let’s face it, these days no woman has to carry and give birth to a child she doesn’t want. She WANTED to have Brad’s child. Shiloh is an expression of THEIR LOVE and I’m sure she holds a special place in Angelina’s heart just like her other children.
Mad and Z came from extremely adverse situations and she knows how lucky she is to have them. Is it a surprise that she ‘feels’ more for Mad and Z? Based on how those 2 children, especially Z, are attacked on some of these blogs, she does have to make sure they get extra attention. Hell, I can’t wait until the magazines and tabloids stop pointing out that they’re adopted. Mad and Z are Brad’s and Angelina’s children PERIOD. I know there are BA fans that adore Mad and Z, but there are also a lot of people out there that don’t. They only want to see and acknowledge Shiloh as a Jolie-Pitt. Of course it’s those people that get pissed off when it doesn’t seem like the BA hold Shiloh above Mad and Z like they do.
I wonder if the comments that Angelina made would be interpretted so f* up had she adopted 2 other who looked like her? How dare this famous, beautiful, rich White couple love those brown children as much as their own blonde haired, blue eyed daughter…
I NEED YOUR LOVE !!

January 5th, 2007 at 10:49 pm - eh, ignore that last comment, I wrote a response to your comment, and I don’t remember what it was now. ;-)
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree with it.
Think positive - you said…She never said that she has to REMIND her self to feel for Shiloh.” But actually she said…”I’m conscious that I have to make sure that I don’t ignore her [Shiloh's] needs just because I think the others are more valuable.”
That reads EXACTLY to me that she has to remind herself to pay proper attention to Shiloh’s needs because she thinks the needs of the others are “more valuable.”
Montserrat,piper with a low,Alexanderina,Original jpf,Gitane and Think Positive,((((((clapping))))))) you make me proud to be a BAMZS fan!Very intelligent and insightful posts from ALL of you.I should be in bed(I have a migraine)but I have been unable to tear myself away from the computer.I applaud you all,Good Night!
