Brad & Angie’s Move to New Orleans

FROM PerezHilton:

A Golden Evening

Filed Under: Personally Perez

As it should be….

Serendipitously, the first celebrities we saw when we entered the Beverly Hilton on Monday night was Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie.

We were walking towards our first party of the evening and literally almost stumbled on them.

They were unaccompanied by security and as soon as they entered the lobby area they were mobbed by fans and reporters.

The pair graciously made an exit and left the building, skipping any of the Golden Globes after-parties.

Angelina is even more stunning in person. And Brad was so touching, guiding his babymomma along the way.

One day. We will exchange words. But this was good enough for now!

I have just seen an interview on german channle. Brad and Angie were so sweet. Brad was asked something about Clooney, Ocean’s 13 and Angie, and I only heard Brad saying “She is too good for us.”
I hope there are some fans from Germany who can find this interview. It was on ProSieben channel.

^^^^

Have a feeling the “she” he’s refering to is Cate Blanchett since she’s recently been in a movie with both. I was hoping for a pic of the three of them together last night. Maybe one will pop up.

Estelle….thanks for posting that bigger pic of the KISS!!! It’s so funny, they are not even kissing fully on the lips, or the ‘tongue in your throat’ kind of kiss, a la Tomkat, yet it elicits more sexiness and heat between them. I don’t know if it’s the way he holds her arm, but I’m getting all gooey inside looking at this kiss, and of course, my imagination is doing the rest!

it’s the eyes ..both are closed, deep in the moment and telepathing a message :)

Uh huh! I melted when I saw Brad’s eyes, still gushing at those eyes :oops:

Jeanne Bekker of FT on Star Daily saying Angelina looked beautiful, divine, the classic movie star with her “tattoos peeking out from her dress”. :-) Love it!

52 Mrs. Smith says: ITA! I laught at anyone criticizing their kiss - that’s exactly how women kiss their men when they’re all made up at awards shows - especially when it’s lipgloss and not lipstick!

Alex - I know I’m bad but, I can’t help it and plus I got NO LOVE for Chin!

Celebs and Charity: Trendiness or Benevolence?

January 15, 2007 - Bono, Madonna, Oprah, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie  they’re all part of a parade of celebrity activists turning their attention to Africa.

But some are asking what these celebrities are really achieving? And what are their motivations?

This week in Hollywood, ABC News visited the latest example of Hollywood’s largesse toward Africa the star-studded premiere of a small, documentary that would never have seen the light of day were it not for celebrities.

The film, called “God Grew Tired Of Us,” is about the so-called “Lost Boys” of Sudan  young boys driven from their homes during a civil war in Sudan in the 1980s, who then struggled to adapt to life in the U.S.

During the project, director Christopher Quinn went broke and the film nearly died. But Quinn called his childhood friend, Dermot Mulroney, star of such films as “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and “Young Guns.” Mulroney, in turn, called his friend, Brad Pitt, who wired money the next day.

“I was fortunate to come in at kind of the last minute and get to throw up the last shot,” Pitt said.

Some Celebs Get Praise, Others Get Flack

Yet, while Pitt, Clooney and Bono are lauded for their African activism, other celebrities are taking flack.

Madonna was criticized for adopting a boy from Malawi who, it turned out, already had a dad. And Oprah was challenged for spending $40 million on a school in South Africa instead the United States.

“You can concentrate on all sides of the pond,” Pitt said, regarding such criticisms. “I believe one doesn’t cancel out the other.”

Pitt’s partner in activism, Jolie, added, “Our kids are going to grow up in the world and we better focus on doing what we can.”

There are questions over whether celebrity activists are motivated by charity or publicity. In late 2006, The New York Times ran an article about celebrity activists with the headline, “Misery Chic.”

Dermot Mulroney’s reaction?

“Well, if they can’t find something more important to write about, then maybe they should have fewer pages in the newspaper,” he said.

“There’s always going to be cynicism,” said Nicole Kidman, who narrates “God Grew Tired of Us.” “You are always going to get flak. You just are. That’s a part of it. Be willing to take the shots. Be willing to keep doing your bit, because if you’ve been given an enormous amount in life, it is your duty to give back.”

Even some critics admit that celebrities can get the public to pay attention to issue that politicians and the press are ignoring.

“Celebrities have the power to convince other people to follow them,” said Trent Stamp, who runs a charity watchdog group.

But, he added, that’s just the first step.

“Celebrities are great at raising money, but they may not know how to spend the money,” he said.

In the 1980s, the Live Aid concert raised millions of dollars, but most of that money was wasted and none of the underlying problems were solved.

But Quinn and the “lost boys” whose story he tells in the film that opened this weekend says this time, at least, celebrity money was not wasted, that it was well spent.

While standing next to Nicole Kidman at the premiere this past week, one of the “lost boys,” Daniel Abul Pach, said, “I hope there will be no more people dying again. It’s going to change, really.”

LOL me either

I guess Lainey will be crowing about this tomorrow…if she didn’t do it today already! She said a month ago that they were moving to NO, possibly for up to a year.

Thanks for that pix. It looks like Angie has two rings on her right hand, a gold band and a diamond band. Interesting. They are both GLOWING in that pix. You have to be born with what they both have, it can’t be bought, it can’t be manufactured, it just is or it isn’t.

THE KISS-hot, smouldering, just enough to leave one wanting to see more, firing up the imagination, a small view, a tantilyzing glimpse into the passionate relationship that clearly exists between these two. No slobbering groping display of nothingness as practiced by many for the cameras. Just real tingling heat. More on the way, they’ve opened the gate now, the forest fire heat will be seen at some point.

NOLA-The city will get some much needed attention and revenue from the paps that do venture there. The Jolie-Pitt family will be able to have some breathing space and some good family time. Daddy will work and be able to oversee his global green endeavors, Mommie will take care of kids and carry out her humanitarian work. Mad will be in school and play soccer, and Zee and Shiloh will flourish. All will benefit.

LA-The paps can focus on the aventures of the Beckhams and all the others who desire as much publicity as they can get. Paps will be happy, as will the subjects in their lenses. Tabloids will have plenty of stories to lie about in print. All will be happy.

Thank you for saying what I’m too tired to put into words! Last night was wonderful! Nothing the tab programs or haters have said can take anything away from what an awsome night it was! The whole world saw the love and commitment, there is no doubting it now. The only people who have a problem are those still stuck in the past and grasping at straws.
I’m so glad I found this site, the few trolls who obsess cant bring down the united BAMZS community. And we have so much more to look forward to, this love they have is so true and honest. So goodnight, stayed up too late last night, and don’t know my own name. God bless you all and BAMZS!

Believe it or not but I liked Star too. Her wedding planning got on my nerves, but that was a small part of her whole run. It still bugs me that people are ignoring the fact that she was right about Barbara. But, that’s life, right?

ET has good interview as well. Angie smiled and said they were trying to keep “little pizza hands off their clothes” as they were dressing for the GG. Brad said Angelina was his “backup”, when Angelina did not want to come up on the ET platform to be interviewed by Mary Hart. The real story of the night has now emerged, RS and E! tried to make something out of nothing.
ET also had pixs of Prince’s after GG party.
