Brad Pitt Back to Being Benji Button

Excerpts from Woman’s Day - An Australian Magazine

The bitter tensions between Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have reached breaking point after Ange discovered Brad Pit shared a secret dinner date with his ex in LA.

She was livid and couldnt believe that Brad would do this, : a source reveals.

Friends say Brad arranged the night out with Jen after Ange opened up past wounds by recalling the early days of their love affair - the most painful days of Jen’s life - to US Vogue magazine recently.

Brad felt really bad after he saw what Ange said in that interview, says a friend. More than anything he felt bad for Jen and how it brought up the whole scandal for her again - espy after her break up with Vince.

Insiders say Brad arranged to meet Jen whom he hasn’t seen in months at a mutual friend’s house in LA (Catherine Keener?), before they went to dine in private at one of their favourite restaurants - II Sole.

Up until that time they had a few phone calls, but they hadn’t seen each other and it was hard on both of them, the insider says. Brad ’s made no secret that he misses Jen. Brad and Jen;s biggest strength when they were a couple was that they were best of friends. Ange even alluded to it in her interview when she described Jen as his best friend, someone whom he loves and respects.

And according to insiders, when Brad and Jen met, the old magic was back in a flash. They spent a few hours eating, drinking, catching up and Brad apologised over and over for Ange’s interview, telling Jen that he missed her friendship. And now that she’s single again, friends say Jen is missing Brad more than ever and that part of her even hopes they may one day be together again. She wishes she was totally over Brad, but she’s not , herr friend confides. If he and Ange ever split then anything is possible, but tehre’s no way Jen will set out to steal him just like Angelina did.

Jen says there’s a part of her that will always love Brad. But she wants nothing to do with Angelina.

When Ange found out about their meeting she weent nuts, flew into a rage and told Brad there’s no way she’s going to let Jen steal him back, a source says.

Ange says its a deal breaker and that if Brad plans on staying with his family he neds to cut all ties with Jen pronto. Adds a friend. Brad insisted it was all innocent saying he loves Ange now not Jen and he was just trying to be a decent guy and be there for Jen since she was so upset. But Ange made no bones about it, she’s jealous of Jen and the golden couple they used to be and she doesnt want Brad seeing her.

Ange will put up with a lot of things but a Brad and Jen friendship is not one of them.

Despite letting Brad adopt her two kids - Maddox and Zahara and welcoming their own child, Shiloh, Ange admits she will never let her guard down when it comes to matters of the heart. “I dont trust anybody completely, “Ange revealed in teh same magazine interview that prompted Brad to reach out to his estranged wife Jennifer.

In another recent interview, teh actress admits, : I would start drinking or something terrible if I was in a situation where I was surrounded by lies or quiet or secrets.” …………blah blah blah

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

No wonder Catherine was being so touch feely with Brad even when Angie was around, seems not respecting her at all, because she probably doesnt like Angie and encourage this kind of meeting between brad and Jennifer. Thats why Angie didnt go to brad’s b-day party in Il sole, mu guess, it was thrown adn arranged by his friend CAtherine, you see that place is their turf.

Of course that Ausie mad is a tabloid, but there is probably some truth to it, and my guess the leak comes form Huvane, who has develop good contacts in the Ausie media when they there for the TBU premiere. A lot of pro-aniston and anti-jolie articles have been coming from Ausie media since they went there.

Oh i dont like that article from womans day! I know its probably not true. But I wish Brad would be less nice to his X and his friends like CAtherine, coz no matter how confident Angie is, it would be not be good to hear if he sneaks around and still see his X and their group of friends, just because he needs to comfort them.

I think Angie and Catherine are not friends, they were not seen together in the premiere night, my feeling is Catherine and other Brad’s friends during Ansiton days, dont get to see Brad that much these days, and they blame it on Angie.

Also I get the feeling that Catherine is the type who calls Brad all the time either for support or just to chat, she seems to be a pushy type and someone said in other thread bitchy in person, and im not sure Angie is tolerating it.

back to the same ol’ same ol’, of course, I wonder how Brad and x could’ve got together at a public place without a nation of paparazzi finding out? Huvane had them on “red alert” when she flew into LAX, can you imagine what he would’ve done with a meeting like this? these stories have been going on for 2 yrs now I’m pretty bored with them.

Everyone who supports the idea that Brad left Jen because she was not in the same page with him where children are concerned are deluding themselves. He left her because he met & fell in love with a beautiful, smart & truly decent woman who inspired him and brought out the best in him! Aside from the fact that there is no doubt in my mind that she gave him the best sex he ever had in his life!!!

pinkpaws..

you’re absolutely right…

i believe him when he said that wanting to have children is not the reason they separated… i think (IMO) was that they fall apart… fall out of love… Brad’s seems to be a decent man and i don’t think he will go out and flaunt Angelina if he is really not proud to be with her…. i’m so happy for them…. :D

i love it that they bring out the best from each other…

since being together, they’ve become a better person - humanitarian work… a better actor/actress - do we need to elaborate here…. i also like that they keep it to themselves… though of course i would love to know everything about them (i really envy mikey and holly ..sigh.. :)

Jolie Irks Adoption AdvocatesJanuary 11, 2007 –From Page 6- NYPOST

PARENTS who have encountered difficulties adopting children from countries like Cambodia are shocked that Angelina Jolie would dare to say anything about Madonna’s adoption in Malawi of her son David.

Jolie told French magazine Gala she would “never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.” Yet Jolie failed to mention that she adopted her Cambodian son, Maddox, through a group that was later found to be guilty of fraud. Now procedures have been tightened up, and it is next to impossible to adopt from Cambodia.

“Angelina is not a hero in the adoption community,” Tatiana Beams, a Seattle-based international adoption advocate, told Page Six. Beams said parents and other adoption agents are disappointed Jolie “does nothing, or at least very little, to keep international adoption open and legal for American families and children.”

Jolie later backtracked from her criticism of Madonna, and told People.com her words had been twisted. But some adoption advocates remain irked by the star’s failure to acknowledge her own adoption issues.

When Jolie and then-husband Billy Bob Thorton adopted Maddox in 2002, she used Seattle International Adoptions, run by Lauryn Galindo - who was found guilty two years later of visa fraud and money laundering related to Cambodian adoptions.

Beams said that after Jolie’s adoption scandal, Cambodia closed its doors, and many families who were waiting to acquire children were left empty-handed.

“She [Jolie] adopted Maddox under a questionable agency, where the directors went to prison.” Beams added, “It would be nice to see her speak out on issues and policies surrounding international adoption.”

David Ptasnik, director of Americans Adopting Orphans, admits he was uncomfortable with some practices of Jolie’s agency, but said that at the time, “it was the largest agency in the world. Angelina Jolie wouldn’t know that she was entering into a questionable adoption.”

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

What’s Page Six agenda against Angelina? First they run this blind item alluding Angie and now this article and their headline is misleading. They only named one parent and yet its seems a lot them complained. And why they Angie if that Agency was corrupt or malpracticed. Now it becomes her fault that they there were malpractices, when in fact Angie was also a victim.

Now im wondering, with the onslaught of so many negative news about them, is there a conspiracy theory so that Brad will not win in GG and not nominated in Oscar. And who is behind this conspiracy?

so true but I often wonder how or why he stuck it out for so long. Maybe his bad experience with Gwyneth hurt him so deeply that he felt safe in a relationship with x. He may have not trusted other actresses. that is, until he met Angelina. He found out that a woman can be a great actress, a great mother, and genuinely capable of love, no wonder he couldn’t stay away from her. Can you imagine going home to X after hanging out with Angelina during the filming of M&MS, well he couldn’t!

With all honesty, I truly feel sorry for JA because I don’t believe she saw it coming. She never thought that Brad would look the other way and fall for another woman because she was “too full of herself”! She, most likely, thought that she was God’s Gift to Men !!! She with her chinny-chin-chin and lack of talent!!! How pathetic!

Virgo,

Precisely. Whatever Page Six is all about :angry:
How will Angie know that the Agency has every intention to cheat.
Why are the people irked by Angie. It is no fault of her!!

Be fair!!!!!!!!

Why is DA even discussing something he doesn’t really know about. I think that when he says they were happy , he’s lying. If that was the case why did CC say in Vanity Fair Brad told Jen about his attraction. I can believe they were shocked to find out he was sleeeping w/ Angie.

Beams said parents and other adoption agents are disappointed Jolie “does nothing, or at least very little, to keep international adoption open and legal for American families and children.”

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

Um…since when is that Angelina’s resposibility? I am so tired of people blaming this woman for EVERYTHING. It’s just getting old. BTW Bush is sending 21,500 troops to Iraq. I’m sure PageSix will blame Angelina for that.

Emotional blackmail! She is a nut job! Just think of all the ways she has manipulated her fans and the media. She probably had Brad ready to drive off a cliff. I can`t imagine how bad she made his life when she was married to him. He probably wanted to leave years ago, but she probably threatened suicide or maybe threatened to go to the tabs with a vicious lie. Look at how she has huvane jumping through hoops. The woman deserves the best manipulator of the world award. Now they are going full force on a new smear campaign. ja can take total credit for all the page six stories. As well as for post 188 &176. Not to worry, she will be exposed. Thank god Brad did not have any kids with her! Thank god!!!!!!!!!!
