Brad Pitt Upends Expectations
Perfect parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie picked up their 5-year-old son Maddox, from Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle-Orleans, a French-English bilingual school, in New Orleans yesterday afternoon. Angie flashed her megawatt smile!
Also included is a scan of Brad Pitt’s solo shot from the Jan. 29 issue of Newsweek. The captions reads: “With his trim gray hair and weary face, Pitt upended expectations in Babel as a helpless husband stranded in Morocco with his slowly dying wife.”

Thanks Jared for the new thread and pictures, they look great, just like a normal family picking up their son from school. I love Angie’s smile and her sunglasses
So great for my mid-morning break! Thanks JJ!! Great photos of the Jolie-Pitts!
They really look like perfect parents!))) Love them!
Thanks Jared…It looks like the Jolie-Pitt are settled in NO for now. Love this family and I wish them the best.
She’s on the skinny band wagon. What an insecure person!
ah the King and Queen love them so beautiful together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BAMZS forever!!!!!
It’s wonderful to see these new pics! Angelina looks really happy and relaxed.
Good to see them away from the hounding paps in H’wood… Hope they get a chance to just be a family and have a normal break away from all the publicity.
LOVE this family!!!
Nice couple. perfect parents !
perfect couple loving parens humanitarians,what more
Skinny band wagon my ****…..
rang tang Ding dong, I am the Japanese sandman…
Yeah, she’s smiling and happy again. I love them and am happy she seems to like New Orleans so much. She is skinny though but I think it was from the LA paps stress
I have always wondered about these haters of Brad and Angelina, like the #6 poster. What do they do … log in to Just Jared, do a search for a Brad/Angelina thread, and then race with the fans to post their negative comments, especially on a new thread? And they have the nerve to tell us BAMZSers that we have no life. What do you call what they are doing? I would imagine posting at the site of someone you hate or dislike intensely is a particular waste of time. Talk about no life!
I think what the haters are doing in every blog is always invade the first page of the post with hate posts, so for newcomers it looked like everyone hates Brad and Angie. So keep the posts coming guys.
Thanks Just Jared for all the pictures. AJ looks great. I am digging the fierce Papa Brad look. It is definitely a “hot” look. BP is very protective of his family. Keep on smiling AJ. Best wishes to BAMZS.

————————–
Insecure is when someone paid their publicist to make a public statement within 24 hours or appearing on Oprah whenever a tabloid commented on your physical appearance, for eg: nose job allegation, boob implant allegations, hair implant and many more.
Angie looks great, but Brad looks a bit pissed. Maybe they want to browse the school together?
I love Angie’s smile. Brad looks like he’s a little PO’d at whoever is taking his picture. But I like it when they are together, Angelina looks relaxed, she knows Brad has her back and he is very protective of her.
Thanks JJ for the new pics…
That’s the luckiest kid on the planet.
Angelina’s Hot & Brad is the Epitome of Cool.
too skinny
**************
Need to throw up a smokescreen for why your girl needs the nose fixed. Meanwhile Angelina is doing what she does best…being beautiful.:)
I am glad to see Angie happy living in New Orleans. I hope they stay there for a long time.
So how long will them picking him up from school be news? Give them a break already–they are seeking normalcy. Let them have it.
Thanks JJ. They are good parents living a normal life.
Hot Daddy, Sexy mom. What a perfect couple !
Great morning all - Thanks JJ
AJ looks happy. Proud mom/pop taking their son to school!!!
Oh ,Brad gave his killer look towards the paps. Their driver or Brad/Angie should learn all the back roads to lose those paps hot on their trail.
When are they gonna give them peace?
BTW , thanks for the Hello scan of their NO home.
Hmmm.. are those walls high enough to discourage them paps.? Hope one of them
falls and break their neck for scaling the walls.
Bye now….. Gotta get back to work… Have a great day … BAMZSers…
Freidaflo-
what is the site that has the pics of their new house?
OMG…they are so gorgeous! Angie looks stunning!
she looks beautiful….so what if she’s skinny. Brad seems to like her the way she is. you act like you fcukin her and you dont have to look at her either.
Good parents
Hands on parents
Love this family
Much much respect for the Jolie/Pitt
The black draping over the school’s wrought iron fence will keep the paps from taking pics of Maddox and the other kids playing outside.
The paps are probably waiting for the Brad/Maddox or Brad/Zahara photo…..if she is also going there.
They look so beautiful, happy and relaxed. I just wish that paps would give them a break once in awhile. Now I have to go back to work…
Good morning everyone!!! Hello Jared, thanks for this new thread :)
Wow new pics from NO. Who would have thought? They look like regular folk. They have their hands full with the children.
To those who were discussing JV, you don’t know if he confronted Trump in private. These days the media is keen on starting celebrity feuds to make money and he he had mentioned something via his press agent, it would have taken a life of it’s own that would have dragged Angelina in.
If he didn’t defend her, well Angelina was probably right about him not being a trustworthy person. Her trust “issues” come directly from him.
Another possibility may be that Trump may not really be “friends” but mere aquaintances with Voight but Trump used that link to bash Angelina for whatever his personal reasons are. Voight may not know about what went down because he really doesn’t know Trump.

Askmen.com says about Brad………….:
woman magnetism
93
We are men, but we are not blind, and we can admit that Brad Pitt is a good looking man, though our female contingency at AskMen.com would use much stronger adjectives. He has that whole “tough yet vulnerable and sensitive” thing going, and women go ga-ga over it. If that weren’t enough, he’s in movies like Legends Of The Fall and Meet Joe Black that and make women’s knees weak.
Women scrambled to the newsstand when a certain magazine issued nude pictures of Brad Pitt alongside his then girlfriend, Gwyneth Paltrow.
We are fine with all that, but why did he have to marry Jennifer Aniston? What did he do to be so lucky? Then it got worse when it didn’t work out, as he is raising children with one of the world’s most fascinatingly beautiful women, Angelina Jolie.
This is totally unrelated, but does anyone know if the Oscar nominee Kate Winslet already has an Oscar for Titanic? Need to know because of a discussion going on at home..
amazing like always angelina does really look hot man.haters jealous like always
For Monserrat from the old thread about JV:

lylian Says:
January 25th, 2007 at 10:59 am
I just want to make clear. It’s not that he divorced his wife. Many people get a divorce but many fathers stay in close touch with their children despite the divorce. JV admitted that he wasn’t around much. Having read his interviews, I can only say, if JV said he wasn’t around much, he wasnt around MUCH at all.
So Monserrat, I don’t think JV knows how to feel genuinely for anyone. Consider this - He has NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUSTAIN ANY SORT OF LONG TERM, INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP be it with any woman or either of his children throughout his ENTIRE LIFE. he never remarried after Marcheline. He had a number of women since then but no one has stayed long in this JV’s life. Up until about 12 months ago he said he was single (remember the JV is dating Diana Ross rumours??) It is not a coincidence that all his intimate relationships, be it with his women or with his children don’t last. He has a pattern, which, to date, has not changed. When ever he gets close, something happens and the relationship ends. he is 66 years old. Some people have been married for 40 years by the time they are 66 and have a loving family of children and grandchildren. He has nothing. And its not AJ’s fault he has no children or grandchildren. It’s his own.
For Love in the old thread:

___________________________
If you were really a mum and have spent time with other mum, you’ll know that many mum’s would agree that during the first few months, infants are “blobs”. and more then one mum I know have described their child as such. That is why the interviewer supplied the word to Angelina (yep, if you read the original interview, you’ll see that it was the interviewer who supplied the word).
And if you were really a mum of a couple of children you’ll know that you would feel more for the child who sickly and frequently seriously ill, then the perfectly healthy robust one. A mother would love both children equally but have more feelings - feelings of guilt, compassion and fear for the more vulnerable, sickly, delicate, one.
When you read the haters call Angelina a crazy ***** and how Brad should take SHILOH (but NOT Zahara or Maddox) and run, you’ll understand why Angelina feels that her adopted children are more vulnerable. These sick delusional people don’t even see the irony that if Brad should take Shiloh and run from crazy old Angelina, then surely, the adopted children, Zahara and Maddox deserve the same or they would be left with a crazy woman. No, these sick delusional people don’t think about Z and M at all. These attitudes are quite commonly and frequently expressed. Z has been called a monkey because she is black. From what I’ve seen, no hater has called Shiloh an albino monkey coz she is white. Months ago, I read a sick poster on Female first who said that Zahara was the daughter of a rapist and would turn out to be an addict and a wh*re because her biological father was a rapist. How sick is that?? Even if it were the case that Z was a product of rape, they don’t end up as wh*res and drug addicts.
So, I suggest you focus on the fact that Angelina has said more then once, that she loves them all equally and she is consciously making sure that Shilohs needs are met. But she feels more (fear perhaps??) for her adopted children who are more vulnerable.
Apparently Angie’s weight is just right for Brad-Last time I checked, he was the only one who mattered when it comes to how thin she keeps herself-Hear me clearly, IF I was a starving-sick-homeless person and Angelina crossed my path and she had the ability to help me-I honestly wouldn’t care how she looked, when she got pregnant, what the situation with Brad was or is, I would want to eat and be healed-
Angie seems to look the same she has always looked. Wonder why it’s a problem now? Besides, Brad is a “Love Machine” If Angie walks in the room wearing that Crouchless, Edible Chocolate Thong that melts in your mouth and not in your hands, I don’t think he’ll ask her to get on the scale first. DO you??????

Thanks Frenchy.
Kate did not win for Titanic
Nice pic. of Angie smiling.. Paps are there again, by the look on Brad’s face.
I just wish they should leave alone.
Thanks JJ…
36 susie–
The scan of their NO house was in Maddox’s thread . I think it’s in the last page, #518 or 519 . It is a beautiful house.
SOUTHERN LIVING should feature it ASAP if they want to increase their sales volume. Ya know everything Pitt’s these days will sell.

Wow, what a house! I used to spend time in New Orleans and it seems like the perfect funky, crazy alive city that the Jolie-Pitts would love. Full of interesting people and culture. I bet they make this their home when it’s not summer.

Yet here you are on their thread no less.
Admit it, you just can’t get enough of these two wonderdul and beautiful people.
Hey guys. Watching the View and they were talking about NO and the co-host, Tina Fey, she quickly added, “Brad and Angelina are there” I believe Rosie and Joy said they liked they’re there because it could help the city.
On a unrelated note, they also had alpacas on the show and I kind of want one now :lol:
She smiles more when shes not in a pic with Brad.
I am so confused why people come on this thread and say they are tired of them or mean ugly comments. It seems like an awful lot of energy to b**ch. This is a BAMZS lover site so go somewhere else please!!

Please go to the Jen’ new nose thread at Perez hilton ,D-listed, TMZ.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why does everyone hate on Jen. There is no real difference between her and Angie…just those big bug eyes and 6 years of age. All three of them are just as plastic as everyone else in Hollywood. Angie has had work done too…see for yourself!
http://www.celebrityplasticpics.com/angelinajolie.htm
Even Brad has had work done! You are all so ridiculous to blindly idolize these people these people the way you do. If the shoe were on the other foot for Angie, then people would be mocking HER nose job and HER interviews. Some may see having plastic surgery as a sign of insecurity…some might see running through a different actress every few years as a sign of insecurity…some may see a pattern of going after men who are already married or involved as a sign of insecurity…we all have insecurities…
wish the photos were bigger! love this family, if only we could have some wedding photos. i bet angie would look ohhh soo very beautiful in a wedding gown!Go BAMZS!!!
lol Brad has work done? WHere exactly?
God what an idiot you are. And why do you care who we like? Is none of your business.
gosh they’re cute! i’m getting a sugar rush. looks like braddy’s gonna have to learn some french to keep up with his kids!
Where and when did Ted C say this?

Todays column.
I don’t think Brad has any work done at all.
First and foremost thanks Jared.
I just love Angie’s smile and Brad look of you better back off. No matter what they do somone paps will be following them.
I wonder if that is why Zahara isn’t going too? There are a lot of crazy people in our world and as a parent you can never to be cautionous (sp).
All we have to do is turn on the news and to heard about a child(ren) being taken by some loonie…….heck two sets of parents just got their child back in MO just last week.

I would expect that type of response from a zombie…not a real response…and please don’t bring GOD into it…
This is Ted’s column
BrangelinaBit
I’ve gotten multiple mouthings from my southern-fried sources about Brad and Angie’s recently purchased New Orleans pad. N’Awlins know-it-alls claim this megamansion is what the Jolie-Pitts are callin’ home sweet home, as of late.
Now, if this is indeed their Louisiana love nest—which Desk Gumbo insists to me it is—Brangelina’s now got six bedrooms, four bathrooms, two-car garage and more than 7,000 square feet in which to make nooky (which, by the by, B.P. has not so quietly informed his buds is “the best” in his life, how tacky, how hot!).
Now, I simply think these reported new digs ain’t too shabby, you?
This par-tick property is in the French Quarter and right by boozy Bourbon Street. It’d be perf for peepin’ parades and catchin’ beads during Mardi Gras. And it’s got a big backyard for the kiddies to play in.
Only bad part is there’s no pool and no central air, which is a must-have in swampy Nola. It does, however, have a few measly AC units.
Guess B. ‘n’ A. will have to come up with some creative ways to cool off after marathon mattress sessions, huh?
there are new pictures of angie and brad at http://souliejolie.com/index.php?aj=main photo gallerie from the Globes. They are sitting at their table and talking to each other. AJ is explaining something to Brad.
Thanks Susie for the site. That house is spectacular and looks cozy and homey. i just would love to jump on one of those fluffy beds. Aaaahh….
Please do not respond to the haters.

***********************************************
Why can’t they get things straight. Two people can not help a destruction on that level a magnitude even with their hearts in the right places. The sad story is that the will of those in charge of the city is not there and neither is the kind of money to make even a dent. If the money is given, it has to go through city officials then you are back to square one. Did the President of the United States discuss ways they were going to rebuild New Orleans? this may sound radical but I think you almost need a kind of Marshall Plan for New Orleans.
Here’s some more fun gossip. There a good one’s too you know:
Thursday, January 18th, 2007
Matt Damon is supposedly adamant that friends Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will marry in 2007, as Fametastic reports.
Matt told guests at a recent Miami party: “Brad and Angie will get married by the end of 2007. They’re not going to spend the rest of their lives like this. It will happen naturally, something organic and unplanned.”
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie still love each other without any nuptials responsibilities.
OK kinda ot:
You know how the haters are always complaining that Angelina & Brad never sit in one place. They don’t know that Jennifer Garner travels with Ben on location, Matt Damon’s wife, Lucy & kids also travel with him to locations. You don’t hear a peep. But Angelina & Brad? ***Rolling eyes********* This type of family togetherness is not a new modern occurence either. Read below about what the wife of an actor is doing:
Actor’s Wife Makes Traveling with Cosmetics a Cinch
Erin Skrypek
January 23rd, 2007 @ 00:47 AM - New York
Lisa Hoffman, the wife of actor Dustin Hoffman, will be making an appearance at Bergdorf Goodman in New York on Thursday, January 25 to introduce her new range of skin products, “Lisa Hoffman Night & Day 24 Hour Skincare.”
Hoffman decided to create her own simplified skincare line after traveling, with their four children, from location to location when her husband’s roles called for it. She had no other choice than to become an expert packer, however, the one thing that was continuously problematic was all her skincare bottles, jars and tubes that she refused to be without.
One night she had a dream that she was packing for a trip and all her skin products were neatly organized into daily packets, each one containing the precise amount of product needed for her daily regimen. She decided to make her dream a reality and was quickly put in touch with Pamela Vaile, a cosmetics analyst who has held executive positions at both Avon and Revlon, and last month Lisa Hoffman Night & Day 24 Hour Skincare was officially born.

Thanks Jared & Audrey for the nice pics. I love the French Quarter and I think Brad and Angelina will be very happy there. I thought I would chime in on the too skinny comments from a purely vanity point of view. I know if I was looking at Brad’s beautiful body every day lol, I sure wouldn’t want him looking back at mine with much fat on it. Add that to the fact that he can have about anyone in the world he wants, and I’d want to be really skinny, too! I think Angelina looks just fine.
SoWhat
What is the difference between AJ ands JA?
How about Maniston has spent her life bitching and moaning how horrible her life is and that she doesn’t like herself and is always crying to Okra. How about she is rarely photographed not in her bikini with a cig in one hand and a margarita in the other. How about she dissed angie and all the other incredible people in the world and said”adoption is not the way I would go”.
Angie has given away a 1/3 of her income forever. Angie single handedly brought awareness to UNHCR and refugees and people who were suffering all over the world. Does anyone remember Africa and other places being so talked about before angie?Are the stars flocking there now and adopting babies who are orphans? Did overseas adoption of babies with no parents go up 30% b/c of Angie? You bet! Is she leading by example and not preaching? Yeah. I could go on and on but that is the core of it. Angie has done so much for people in this world just by using her celebrity in a positive way and people are talking!!! Action is being done. Thank god we are all not sitting in Cabo getting tan and drunk. Now please, go somewhere else and find a site where you can do your bashing away from BAMZS fans, maybe a Maniston approved site.
#81 jewel fan,LMAO!!!!
I’m not an idolitor but I am a writer….and no I do not work for Jen, but all of you seem to work for Brangelina…nothing that levels the field between JA and AJ will hold any weight in the eyes of a Brangelina zombie…even if it is TRUE
#61, that celebrity plastics site is a JOKE. They use some pic of Angie when she was 20 pounds heavier teenager, plus she’s outside and her heads down and at a weird angle w/ light and shadows hitting across her face.
You haters aren’t even a challenge, why not select one of the many MANY photos of her when she was a young teen, and you can see her nose is the same.
That site and you haters go for some grainy, shadowed pic where her hair and the shade is distorting the pic.
It’s from the same period when she was doing Foxfire (maybe even on-set, the same haircut and everything) - so ask yourself why they don’t use any number of CLEAR digital stills and grabs from the movie where they can compare and contrast??
I’ll tell you why - because when you do that, it’s obvious it’s the same EXACT face, that’s WHY!
Aslightly fuller face, not much. She’s more slender now and has grown up.
AJ has NOT had worked done, so don’t go starting that sh*t, you fanistons are just bitter jealous fools because you know your girl Maniston is as FUG as the bottom of my shoe.
Here’s a better pic - same time frame…same shoot…SAME NOSE she has today.
http://images.quizilla.com/D/dazed/1000605734_MoivesLegs.jpg
The MAN cannot say the same.
So is this going to be a routine now? Start clicking away when Angelina/Brad pick up their son from school. By the look at Brad’s death stare, he’s not too thrilled.
If you were really a writer, you’d know how to spell “idolater”.

It does not matter if any of them had any plastic surgery at all. At the end they are both gorgeous. Heck, I regret not having my nose done when I was younger. I don’t see anything wrong with doing a little something to improve your looks if it is what you want to do.

I never said she didn’t have it…I just said that Angie has had it too, but no one is ridiculing her for it…and she HAS had work done.
I’m not a Jen lover or an Angie hater…I just think you should know the truth about all the people you put on a pedistal.
“pedestal” you no-writing numbskull!
You know there is an X thread don’t you all? Stop posting X things here. It just takes up space. I wish we had the delete button like we used to.
So What,
Stop coming over here defending Jennifer Aniston. It’s old. Jolie/Pitt have nothing to do with her so move on.
I have a seriously hard time believing Brad would disrespect something as private as his sexual relationship with Angelina and especially in the way Ted C puts it out there. Boys talk, trust me I know that, but this….
“which, by the by, B.P. has not so quietly informed his buds is “the best” in his life, how tacky, how hot!.”
….does not sound like something Brad Pitt would do.
I’ve been wrong before, but on this I think Ted “the queen embellisher” C is doing his normal twirl around the truth.

this isn’t the first time that Ted C. has hinted that braddy’s braggin’ about shaggin’ with angie. let’s face it–he’s a guy and he’s with one of the most desirable women on the planet. he hangs out with guys like clooney. i say it’s not too far-fetched that he’s walking around with his chest stuck out, crowing about his sex life. besides, i love that his bragging now implies he didn’t have much to talk about before…
So what!!

can you post where that picture is on souliejolie please.
Cripes!!!
Is this thread going to degenerate into back and forth with the haters? Come on, people!
Yes, fans of BAMZS have been on the defensive lately. Sadly, it’s been over flyspeck articles cooked up by low-rent writers who will never be in contention for Pulitzers.
It is about time that we shake it off… shake off the funk that we’ve been in for the last few days. If we don’t, days will become weeks, weeks into months, and so on. Next thing you know, two years would’ve gone by and then what… scintillating diatribes about earjobs and the lack of smiles from the two most photogenic people on the planet will comprise your repetoire?
Stop being Fanistons in BAMZS’ clothing!!

Kids’ serious plights onscreen reflect ’state of the world’
Updated 1/25/2007 8:46 AM ET
Debbie (Elle Fanning) and Mike (Nathan Gamble) find protection in their nanny Amelia (Adriana Barraza) in the sweltering Mexican desert in Babel.
By William Keck, USA TODAY
Lock your doors! Hide the children!
This movie awards season features doom and gloom for many a movie tyke. They face various perils and creepy creatures.
MORE: What dangers did kids on film face this year?
What’s the deal?
“It must have to do with the state of the world at this time,” says Brad Pitt, father (with partner Angelina Jolie) to Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 7 months. In Babel, Pitt and Cate Blanchett play the parents of two young children who get lost in a Mexican desert.
“I found it bordering on impossible to watch when those children were lost,” admits Blanchett, real-life mom to sons Dashiell, 5, and Roman, 2.
In Blanchett’s Notes on a Scandal, her teacher character is the one presenting the threat: bedding one of her high school students.
“There’s nothing more salacious and topical than teachers who have sexual relationships with students,” she says.
In Little Children, Kate Winslet plays a mom in a neighborhood haunted by a child sex predator. Children in “terrifying plights,” says Winslet, “is something that has come into our consciousness so much more in the last few years — and perhaps that’s giving screenwriters ideas.” Mom to Mia, 6, and Joe, 3, Winslet says, “I’m always mindful of my children and incredibly aware of who is around them.”
Adds Pitt: “We’re thinking harder about the safety of our children, and certainly their futures.”

Rumor du Jour: Angelina Jolie’s $700 Hotel Shower
According to ever-reliable Star Magazine, Angelina Jolie is a very special kind of Super World Traveler…a teleporting one. Despite People’s reports that Angie spent at least Friday in Vietnam, Star put her in Santa Monica with son Maddox that morning. Yeah, we know about the date line, but this one’s not happening.

That last part: OUCH!
Taking a break from studying for my CPA exam and it so worth it! Brad and Angie are so naturally gorgeous! They look very happy. I love it when Angie smiles…so beautiful! I love this family and what they stand for…Perfect parent is definitely the right description for these two extraordinary couple. Thank you Just Jared for the new pictures.
So WHAT!
Now that I’ve gotten your attention, Norman, please tell me, does your master still use you for sexual purposes?
Angelina has the same nose as her mom, I believe she’s all natural. People said she had work done on her lips until Shiloh was born, now they know that those are her lips.
What happened to the Prius..that looks like a Mercedes, same car in the other pics..
tsk tsk

i know….i’m naughty, aren’t i? :twisted:
Wow Norman’s Therapist…look how mature you are….
If I had had the smallest change to look like Angie, I would have had all the plastic operations required without thinking.
But I don’t and SHE (???!!!) doesn’t either…….
She thought that she fooled everybody with cheese plate about her boob job. But do you really believe that she could have explained her new nose with a new cheese plate story? If she can, she would but this time: “nope” it doesn’t work that way!!
Oh boy this is sooo much fun..I guess I will go w/ Passing Through quit my job too. Reading all these is incredibly more exciting than a roller coaster ride! the BAMZ I love and seeing the new house in NO is a thrilling site..i can only imagine “B” and “A” being naughteeehhehehe.
Hello BAMZS fans. Thanks Jared and Audrey for the new thread!
So now I have to catch up, this is what happens when you stay up too late and have to get up early :lol:
BRB—– In the mean time watch this video, I love the pics….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MyJdY1-Vk8
There is another good one from preggyjolie I’ll post that too.
So What…. Um features change on a person as you mature. When I was younger my nose was too big for my face, thankfully I grew into it as I got older. I’ve always had naturally chubby cheeks, but now as I am getting older my cheeks are thinning out as well - my face is losing it’s baby fat as some people put it.
Ms. Jolie and I are the same age, we where actually born in the same month and year. I suspect the same goes for her. I don’t know her personally and I cannot with certainty say whether she has or has not had any “tweaking”. What I can say for a fact is that she is an exotically beautiful, sexy woman. And she is “married” to an equally fine a s s man.

JPF, how are you planning on helping?
^^^^
I saw this last eve but I just couldn’t get to it until now and I’m bringing from the old t. I don’t know exactly. I think about it so much and I’m tired of thinking and ready to do. I just want to zero in on whats needed and if it’s something I can contribute to that’s here in my area. I keep leaning towards, or should I say it keeps coming to me that being helpful in some kind of transitional way, but again, I’m not sure what that would be, but I’m working on it.

Hello fellow BAMZSers,
First of all, a disclaimer: this post has something to say about __ but I swear, its related to this thread (lol). Here goes:
We know for a fact that __ reads the tabs avidly and gets very neurotic about anything she thinks paints her in a bad light so in response, she and her publicist(s) go all over the print and electronic media to “refute” the negative stories.
Okay, so can you imagine how postal she must get these days when E V E R Y D A Y there are photos to see and (real and imagined) stories to read about BAMZS and what a happy, loving family they appear to be; how satisfied and fulfilled Brad looks; how his accomplishments seem to be increasing almost exponentially since he became a family man; how ANGIE just seems to THRIVE despite the hate that’s sent her way by all and sundry.
In fact, in the days following the GGs when there appeared a rash of negative stories about Angie’s behaviour DESPITE the evidence to the contrary, can you imagine how gleeful __ must have been to read all that? And now, in less than a week, here comes these fabulous photos and stories that have put paid to all that garbage and no one can hide from the STARK REALITY that BAMZS are thriving, loving and living a wonderful life!
God! it must be painful. Since we BAMZSers are lovers, not fighters, i know we can afford to spare an ounce of sympathy for ___.
Okay, i’m over that.
And, look at the direction in which ___’s life is moving: relegated back to tv; on an obscure channel; in a comeback move that is gratuitously going after a shock-value effect; going for plastic surgery in an anguished response to the jokes and criticisms about the “man and “chin” and “FUG nose”.
It must suck to be ___ right now. But, let’s not forget all the haterz’ call these past 2 years for ‘karma”………pity they dont know what karma is all about and how it works, eh?
LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM,………
I See Surgery And Photoshop Editing Is Todays Topic.
I Guess Its Impossible To Look Good Now-A-Days With Out Being Surgically Altered.
[God Forbid SomeOne Is A Natural Beauty]
Tho its a free country and people can do what ever it is they want.. why go out off the way to bash a person you hate so much. In my world when you hate someone you dont pay them anymind. In fact its as if they don’t exist. The Internet can be somewhat amusing when your bored but there has to be other ways to get your jolly’s off other than hating on Angelina and purposely trying to start an argument, font battle, blog war, or a pointless debate.
I must admit [smh] watching some of the nonsense can be entertaining at times. [Lol]
B&A won’t be there this year.
DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 23 — The World Economic Forum convenes its annual conference here Wednesday with the theme “Shaping the Global Agenda: The Shifting Power Equation.”
Davos also says it is shunning Hollywood celebrities, even though they have lent this sober event a dash of sex appeal. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who stopped moguls and ministers in their tracks last year, will not be here, leaving Bono, the Irish rock star who has assumed a statesman’s mantle, to twinkle on his own.

So WHAT!
Please, Norman, don’t turn this on me. This session is about you. I’m here to help. Once you stop covering for your master and admit the abuse, we can take the necessary steps toward the recovery of your dignity. We can even have you placed in a loving, stable, drug-free home. Wouldn’t you like that, puppy?
Now I know. When you pick up your kid from school you’re a Perfect parent. Awwww!
Oh, Angie knows she’s been critisized for the Golden Globes and now she cracks a smile! Awwwww!!!!
Every time we see nice pictures of the Jolie-Pitts showing that they are really happy and going on with their lives, people rush here to post negative things.

We’ll have to A to D on it because just like I said “boys talk,” I will amend the Brad not giving a knowing nod to GC or MD, I have a hard time with them putting their friends biz out there. If they won’t talk about the simple things, why would I believe they’d get all loose lipped about their buddy’s bed activities? Again let’s agree to disagree on it.

Is it cold in New Orleans..Brad is wearing a jacket,a nd Angie is not..? Just curious..

OMG!! *gasp* They pick their own children up from school???!!!
Why is it so fantastic to see a celebrity picking their child up from school?
Protective of their family? My ass!
People, get a clue; There’s a lot of people on drugs that look “happy”.
I think they are both awesome. how sweet of them to want to pick up their baby together. awww
I don’t find Teds comments all that far from the truth. When they first began as a couple George Clooney made a few other comments about the relationship, not negative, just comments. He was in a limo with one of my friends..and just the usual chit chat..but basically he said that he did not want to be around when this relationship went bust..of course that was 2 years ago and now sees it as stable..at that time saw it more as a fling..infatuation….so kind of interesting that Ted C says that, although I think he tends to embellish things as much a Lainey does.

JJ thanks so much for the pics. I love when she smiles…
I love and admire Brad and Angie !!!
I have the same question as Katian:is it cold in NO, because Brad is wearing a jacket, but Angie is not, so…
some people just don’t want Angelina to be happy. they cant stand it. Idk why though.
the temperature in new orleans is currently 50F
OT Paris Hilton videos and else, I don’t find the fascination, but the last 2 days have been insane at JJB there is a topic of 34 pages asking for the password and at ONTD the post has like 2,700 responses. Anyone wants to explain why people are crazy too se Paris having sex (again) and doing blow with her rich friends?
The interesting thing is that other people’s opinion takes most of the discussion. The real thing are their pictures and history. Women have talked about Brad in bed in real life interviews. Brad has never talked about women in his bed. Based on real life history, I will say Brad did not talk about his sex life to his friends. It is assumed that Angie is good in bed, so anyone can write and say Brad said that.

Thanks. I’m surprised no one was listed from the Central American Union especially when the article talks about the shift in palyers. For some reason I really didn’t see AJ/BP attending this year. So much on their plates, and I have no doubt they’ll be streaming it.

No so fast G…
We’ve been having some Mardi Gras Balls but the actually Mardi Gras stuff doesn’t start until or around Feb. 9th and Mardi Gras Day Feb. 20th.
Jazz Fest…April 27-29 weekend and May 4-6 weekend…
Ya’ll come on down and eat some crawfish bread and gumbo with me…I’ll set you up sweet!!!
I’ve been visiting this site for a long time , but I finally started to post a few days ago on JJ. I like the way the biggest part of this community interacts with eachother and the intelect some of you have. ( Sorry if my english is not perfect )
I’m 22 and my boyfriend is 28 and we’ve known eachother for 7 years and been together for almost 5 years. We both have the desire to have children one day.
So we had this conversation not too long ago about me wanting to finish school and start a career before having kids and his views on that etc etc etc.
I just mentioned the BP & JA situation without mentioning names he isn’t in to Celebrities and stuff .
I said imagine if we’ve been together for a long time and I accomplished all my goals and we still wouldn’t have children what would you think about that?
His reply was well maybe you would like to do some travelling , housedecorating you know life stuff.
So I told him maybe time passes and I’m in my late 30’s and you in your 40’s …
He was like WOW WOW WOW what are you talking about? In my 40’s ?? Then I guess you was never planning on making a family . FYI as soon as I hit my mid 30’s I’m sorry but I would be long gone. Because that’s one thing a Man can’t give himself. CHILDREN!
So he made a joke about what you having second taughts LOL.
Offcourse I said NO, I explained that these situations do happen to some people where the Women doesn’t have or want children later on.
He said then I think they never wanted kids from the start. Which is a other form of deceitment where one partner tells the other things just to get married.
So i still cant comprehend the taught that some people think AJ broke this Family up. And that JA wants to adopt kids now bla bla bla .
I mean if she really wanted to she would have done that when she was in a marriage that lasted 7 years.

have The Little Rascals paraded yet?
Brad clearly prefers picking up his son from school with Angie than picking MISS Aniston up from her nose-job doctor. It’s a harsh reality for haters.

Thanks for the link. I am a big follower of the New Orleans Jazz Fest. I use to go every year but have not gone in the last two years. I also go to the Essence Festival every year but did not go last year because of Katrina and because it was held in Houston. I like the lineup for the Jazz festival. Thanks again.
I think its sad that they have to put up those drapes around the school. The paps can’t be doing this day in and out to these people, it’s just crazy.
I love the house - thanks for those who posted the link.
I can dream up all kinds of scenarios that must go on between them in this setting…
http://www.eleanorfarnsworth.com/houses/521_Gov/Sothebys014.jpg
Is it just me, but is anyone just dying for Angie to give this man another baby? I know they will probably adopt next which is wonderful, but I want there to be another biological pitt, maybe a little guy - that would be perfect.
I too feel they will get married, it will just make their lives so much easier when they want to adopt again. I just think they are taking their time and not rushing into anything, but they are obviously 100% committed to each other.
thanks for the new thread Jared.

Everyone except Jolie-Pitt haters know that, but they can’t accept this simple truth. The true deceitful nature of MISS Aniston doesn’t go with the fake “sweetheart” image constructed in their psyche.
Just watched The View. They had to mention that B&A are in NO, when they brought the “no mention of Katrina in the State of the Union speech” up. At least some positive things said about them.
G…
No…it’s too early. I think they are scheduled for Feb 4th. Right now we’re having a lot of MG Balls at the hotels and of course people are pissed b/c some garages are closed, no one operating them, no where to park…at least at our property. It was total hell during Sugar Bowl…anyway
No nothing is passing as of yet…next week doll…next week!
You should come back…I’m sure BP/AJ will have the kids out catching beads and stuff…
can we leave Aniston were she belongs? In the past.
162 bdj
no problem. i used to stay in for mardi gras. once you’re past the age of 12, it kind of loses its sparkle–unless you like hanging out in the quarter and having other women’s boobies flashed in your face…but that’s another story.
jazz fest was always my favorite. the food, the music, the arts and crafts. i’m thinking about going home for it this year. my little heart skipped a beat when i saw jill scott and john legend on the list.

WOW! Actual proof that it’s the BAMZS who bring up Jen. Why’d you mention her? No one else did.
BTW, whoever griped about Angie being skinny, she has ALWAYS had this body type. She looks good, so does Brad.
Why are there no photos of them leaving with Maddox?
Did they go in and never come out? Sneak out the back? Call the cops & have the papz removed?
Is this how the papz are gonna hound them now, daily shots of them taking Maddox to school?
Why is Brad wearing a big coat when she’s just wearing a shirt?
When will the haters get a life?
Who’s gonna win the superbowl?
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
Katia
I noticed that too. I think I’ve seen other pictures where Brad has a jacket on and Angie does not. She’s probably just one of those people who does not get cold easily. Maybe that’s why Brad wants her next to him all the time. She’s hot literally. Angie has a great smile. She is definitely happiest when she is with her family. Brad is taking lessons from Z on how to give paparazzi’s the evil eye.
As for Ted C.’s comment…I think a lot of it is like that telephone game you played as a kid. You whisper one thing to a kid next to you and by the time it goes all the way around the room, it’s something totally different. Brad probably said something like “Life is great.” “It’s the best.” “Angie is fantastic.” and it morphed into Life is great because Angie is fantastic and that got embellished into Life is great because Angie is fantastic in bed.
Creativegirl mention it briefly so I want to ask the question to you adoption experts:
How would they handle the next adoption? Would Angie adopt and then they go through the process of him changing their names like they did for Mad and Z? Seems like a lot of trouble…
Then again isn’t love worth the trouble.
Any thoughts?
Or maybe their already married…I know ya’ll hate to hear that one but it could be true…then they wouldn’t have ANY RED TAPE. How I hope their already married…
(swooning over here)
So WHAT!
It’s obvious that you’re not in the mood to talk right now, Norman. I can’t waste my time trying to force you to emote and express what’s really going on with you. But, even though our session today has been fruitless, I’ve managed to keep you occupied enough so that other posters on this board can have a civilized conversation without your meaningless bull to interrupt them. Think about that Norman. And don’t follow the scent of peanut butter.
179 Me Again!
my thoughts on the next adoption are as follows:
Vietnam
male
infant to 2 years
shortly after shiloh’s 1st b-day
angie will adopt first and braddy will finish up in the states if they don’t run into any red tape. if they got married, they’d have to wait two years to adopt from some countries. but, i’m hoping they suck it up and tie the knot anyway.
I don’t understand why they don’t just get married. I have a feeling that if Angelina wanted to be married they would be. I think it’s her that’s putting the wedding on hold. He seems like the type that would want his kids to have married parents. lol I could always be wrong.
I wish they would just get it over with already.
Angie says she doesn’t see ‘race’ or “borders” so it really should not matter one bit where her next child comes from. Yet she says also that it has to be a consideration so that everyone has someone to look at that looks like him /her ( M or Z). Wassup with that? She seems too worried about that IMO- I wonder why the concern for such obsessive “balance” of the races in the crew without “race” or “borders” ???

Well…I guess you need to be born and raised on it to LOVE IT. I bet ya any $ if you were getting it from Northern LA…it wasn’t cooked the same.
You MUST come further South to get the true essence of Gumbo. The roux can’t look like dirty water and it must have flava and a lot of meat in that sucker. And everybody can’t boil crawfish like we do in the Big NO…it’s a art.
But hey…
G (meaning Gitane)…you must come for Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest and Essence…esp. Essence and Bayou Classic…our babies have come HOME where they belong!!!

Okay…I didn’t know you had to wait to adopt if married. Am I understanding you correctly?
You people act as if Brad is some kind of angel. He is a man, and like any normal man he talks with his friends about his sex life. It’s Not that difficult to believe, people. If you are a long time reader of T.C columm you will know that he has a few good sources, that I think are very good friends with Brad. His source is not going on and on about their sex life, just giving the short answer. And Ted always said that B and Angie have a wonderful sex life;
The only thing I don’t agree with him is that he thinks Brad is more in love with Angie that she with him. But I think he feels this way because he has sources close to Brad and he doesn’t have sources close to Angie. And his sources, who I belive is a good friends of Brad, talks how much Brad is in love.
Love Angie and Brad!!
Wouldn’t rude be showing up 1 minute before the show and have a publicist or rep say “no time to chit chat bye bye ” ????

But, even though our session today has been fruitless, I’ve managed to keep you occupied enough so that other posters on this board can have a civilized conversation without your meaningless bull to interrupt them. Think about that Norman. And don’t follow the scent of peanut butter.

Gay Me Up, Says Brad
02 Feb 2006- Brad Pitt has played against type before. But now the heart-throb is after his biggest acting challenge yet.
The 42-year-old hunk is desperate for a gay role, to cash in on the success of gay cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain.
A source told The Sun: “Brad has asked his people to find him a script to play a gay man. “He wants it to be a story that appeals to both men and women and he wants it to be the edgiest work he’s done.
“He’s seen the critical acclaim that Brokeback Mountain has won and he wants a piece of it.”
“Brad knows it would be seen as shocking to take on a gay role because he’s seen as such a heart-throb.
“But he has never shied away from taking on controversial films, and he has often chosen to do smaller, more challenging movies.”
The closest movie-goers have come to seeing a gay Brad on screen was in Interview With The Vampire. The story hinted at romance between Brad’s character and fellow vampire Tom Cruise.
#196 That article is old!They ran that same story last winter and it was false then.The Sun is tabloid.
Once again compare Angie before and after . See — identical . Angelina was already a goddess during high school . She is all natural .
This woman already has everything, what more could she want?

Hey Me Again,
I love seafood, gumbo, and jambalaya (not sure if it was authentic or not) and would love to go try the real stuff. But I do not get crawfish. They’re the tiny lobster looking things, right? I remember breakign it apart and there’s no meat inside. My husband thought maybe I was suppose to eat the innards. Now I’m willing to try most foods, but it just didn’t look very good, so I passed on that.
Gitane- I thought adoption in Vietnam only take 2-4 months for a single person or for a married couple, not 2 years. I think if they are not married, AJ will adopt as a single mother and Brad can always file for his own adoption here.
I wonders the child will have the Jolie-Pitts last name from the start. No need to file for name change, just need to file for adoption by BP here.

I haven’t read his column for about 6 months mainly because he didn’t unearth major scoop. Maybe something’s changed, but I don’t feel compelled to find out.
188 Me Again!
to adopt from some countries married couples have to be married for at least 2 years.
Angelina has said that she is used to her face now and doesn’t think of herself has pretty or ugly. so why are some of the fans so caught up with her looks? I am fan because she seems like a cool down to earth person, not because she’s gorgeous.
200 Estelle
the process itself won’t take two years. some countries require that people who are married be married for at least two years before they are eligible to adopt.
They both look great and I hope they are enjoying just living their lives. Their kids are fortunate to have them, and they are lucky to be parents to those three angels. If any couple should have a big family it is Brad and Angie.
199 KT 22
no no no. you’re supposed to eat the meat in the crawfish tail. there’s nothing inside the body but ick. the tail is where the meat is. just like lobsters.
WHAAAAAT???? THEY PICKED UP THEIR KID FROM SCHOOL?? *GASP* WOW THAT’S AMAZING…FRONT PAGE HEADLINES MAN…I’M IN SO MUCH SHOCK!
…Aishwariya Rai is finally married…
Ah…..long live the King and Queen!! They really are gorgeous.
While we’re on the subject of marriage, am I the only Brangelina fan who doesn’t really want them married? They’re just kinda more interesting to me this way. I would love to see them married later on, in a couple years, but right now I’m not really For a Brangie marriage.

Brad has a future project in development called Dallas Buyer’s Club in which he is supposedly acting and producing. He would play the part of a man with AIDS searching for a cure in the 1980’s. Who knows if this movie will get made (or even with him acting in it), but this is definitely a part that would take him or whomever to an Oscar nomination, if not win. I would hate to think of Brad playing this part, though, especially if he had to become haggard and thin.

The Daily Classic Quiveration: Brad Pitt
It has been a while…and the rubber face at the Globes didn’t help either. But here’s a candid we can all quiver over – Brad in NOLA picking up Maddox from school, Angie playing perfect mommy as well.
As you know, the First Family has now settled in New Orleans, I’m told Maddox is now thriving in a regular schedule, parents at the immersion school were sent letters a few weeks ago, informing them of the arrival of the Pitts and new security measures that were instituted in preparation, resulting in a change of entrance and exit routes for students in and out of the facilities.
In regards to that trip to Vietnam – Angelina took Maddox for a series of meetings about the Maddox Chivan Project last week and although they’ve “officially” denied initiating adoption proceedings, I’ve received a couple of (as yet unconfirmed) tips from new sources there who insist that paperwork was indeed submitted and filed with the US Consulate in HCM City for a fourth child that the Pitts supposedly met and fell in love with during their trip to the country together several week ago. For what it’s worth, said sources claim that they saw the documents with their very own eyes and that the process should be complete before summer – standard procedure they say and notable because they apparently all expected the Hollywood Pitts to ask for exceptions and were stunned when they didn’t.
As I said before, still working to lock this down, let you know when I do.
Ok…BBL, Thanks JJ for another wonderful thread. Just enough Bamz fix for me to seat through another mediation. TTFN ( hoping away like Tigger).
Angie is just terrific, i’d like to know if she had some plastic surgery ‘cos her noise is too much perfect!! Someone said yes. Love bams family.
#209 Lily says:
Lily, I don’t care if they marry or not, as long as they are happy, healthy and in love. However if they decide to marry…that’s o.k. too. I really believe that they will be together for a long time. They were meant to be.
Thanks Gitane…I’m glad I didn’t eat what I saw. How do you get to the meat on the tail? I didn’t think there was meat there…the two crawfish on my plate had really flat tails. They didn’t give me any special tools, like you get when you eat crab legs.
gitane, Me Again - you’re making me hungry! It’s pouring outside so I settled on a bag of pistachios I had in my desk for lunch. My husband and I love New Orleans, especially the French Quarter. Crawfish, gumbo, jambalaya, beignets - I remember it all so well. Have you tried a restaurant called Jacque-Imo’s?
For us New Orleans was very romantic. I do hope the city is able to make to make a comeback and gets the help it needs. I also hope Brad and Angelina are getting their groove on there and working on Jolie-Pitt #4!

When you read the haters call Angelina a crazy ***** and how Brad should take SHILOH (but NOT Zahara or Maddox) and run, you’ll understand why Angelina feels that her adopted children are more vulnerable. These sick delusional people don’t even see the irony that if Brad should take Shiloh and run from crazy old Angelina, then surely, the adopted children, Zahara and Maddox deserve the same or they would be left with a crazy woman. No, these sick delusional people don’t think about Z and M at all. These attitudes are quite commonly and frequently expressed. Z has been called a monkey because she is black. From what I’ve seen, no hater has called Shiloh an albino monkey coz she is white. Months ago, I read a sick poster on Female first who said that Zahara was the daughter of a rapist and would turn out to be an addict and a wh*re because her biological father was a rapist. How sick is that?? Even if it were the case that Z was a product of rape, they don’t end up as wh*res and drug addicts.

Yes, they look like little lobster…you just eat the tail. Gotta eat a lot to get full.
218 KT 22
you can peel the shell off the tail to get to the meat. just like you’d peel a shrimp. and if the tails are flat and not curly, you don’t want to eat them anyway. that means they died before they were boiled. that’s not good.

yeah…she’s a few days away from being 8 months, isn’t she? i just found this online about what an 8 month old should be doing development-wise:
Expanded maneuvering skills and crawling accelerate a baby’s ability to explore during the eighth month of life. Parents are challenged with being able to maintain a balance between containing the child for safety or giving the child freedom to explore. Standing becomes more exciting than sitting. Eight month old babies can be kept busy for hours with quiet experimentation. They may begin to tear things up. The freedom to explore speeds learning and achievement at this age. More active babies tend to have a hard time settling down to sleep for naps or at bedtime. At this age, babies feel a powerful sense of loss and anger whenever they are separated from their mothers. New growth and development milestones occur by the end of 8 months.
The 8-month-old’s motor skills include:
* Crawling and pulling on furniture to stand.
* Needing help to get down from standing.
* Sitting without support for 10 minutes.
* Pinching with the thumb and forefinger.
The 8-month-old’s language skills include:
* May say “Ma-Ma” and “Da-Da” but not specifically to parents.
* Understanding simple instructions.
* Shaking head no.
The 8-month-old’s mental abilities include:
* Reacting quickly to situations.
* Showing interest in cause-and-effect relationships like making wheels turn or bells sound.
* Anticipating events not related to own behavior like meeting Mom or Dad at the door.
* Solving simple problems.
The 8-month-old’s social traits include:
* Shouting for attention.
* Pushing things away that are not wanted.
* Biting and chewing toys.
Introduce finger foods such as peas and pieces of cut-up, cooked carrots while feeding the baby. This will keep baby busy while the parent feeds her and may avoid disagreements over eating. It also allows her the satisfaction of doing something for herself. Use a playpen only for short periods of time with interesting toys to keep the child’s attention. Give your baby plenty of time during the day to crawl freely. Secure all potentially toxic substances, such as cleansers and medicines in a locked cabinet. Be patient and loving.

Someone else has answer your question about Angie but I feel the need to correct you on one thing. IT”S BAMZS NOT BAMS. Angie and Brad have 3 children not two!
And yes much love to the BAMZS Family!!!!
Angelina resented being on the Red Carpet at the GG. She was such a dissapointment. You shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you! She is affording her lifestyle because she is banked by those studios who put out those movies and support those award shows. She should be grateful instead of being such a snob. She is no different than anyone else. !/3 of her income…..give me a break. I gift more than 1/3 if my income at church, school events and just helping out the guy next door. Who does she think she is? If she really cared she would have taken the example of Brad and used the Red Carpet as a forum to speak out about helping in the U.S. as well as in 3rd world countries.
She should take the wods of Mother Teresa to heart:
We can do
no great things,
only small

with great
love.
Humble yourself Angelina. Your no better than anyone else who offers their hand to help another.

this isn’t the first time that Ted C. has hinted that braddy’s braggin’ about shaggin’ with angie. let’s face it–he’s a guy and he’s with one of the most desirable women on the planet. he hangs out with guys like clooney. i say it’s not too far-fetched that he’s walking around with his chest stuck out, crowing about his sex life. besides, i love that his bragging now implies he didn’t have much to talk about before…
________________________________________
…yeah, and whoever said Brad isn’t likely to talk about his sex life, he’s talked about it before remember — said he was living a monk-like existence. It was around the time of Troy when ‘Nose Job x 2′ didn’t come see him in Malta/Morroco.
If he talked about that - I think he certainly would let slip something so cataclysmic as AJ, I mean we know what he spilled to Innaritu, and he wasn’t even a close friend of Brad’s at the time.
I can’t imagine what he said to his bro or his buds.
Mind you there’s a way to say things — he could let it be known just how amazing it was, without being crass. I don’t believe Brad would ever be crass, just er…enthusiastic. lol
It’s weird that a lot of NO creole foods are smiliar to the foods I grew up with yet I’m not even from there, LOL!!!! Red Beans & Rice = Rice & Beans Beignets=Beignets Chaud, Gumbo=Gumbo Rice with Andouille sausage = Riz ak sausicon Andouille. Chicken/Shrimp Creole=Poulet/Crevette ak sauce creole. sauce bechamel, Accra morue (cod fish fritters), Tassot, etc……….. I guess it’s the smiliar history. I would love to know if a King Cake is for “show” or can you actually eat it?
Thanks Gitane…I think i better wait until I go to the South before I try them.
As for kids, I think they should adopt first because like others have said, it’s tough on a body to have kids one right after another. I would definitely love to see Angie have another biological child with Brad. And then maybe by then, the naysayers will finally give it a rest.

Hey Gitane,
Thanks for the post! Man I really miss having young kids, mine are all grown up. ITA- with your post, which is a general description of babies at that age and their abilities. But every child is different and so is their development. All three of my kids crawled for maybe a few weeks and all three started walking at 9 to 10 months, they pretty much skipped the crawling stage. Which made our lives very interesting since our sons were 20 months apart. All we did was chase them around :lol: I’d do anything to re-live those days, we were so busy taking care of them and working that I feel I missed enjoying those moments. Well, I guess that is why we hope for grand-kids when our sons graduate and start their families :lol: Oh God am I going to spoil them…………..
Guli, I’m just happy to “see” you around. BAMZS seemed to have settle quite nicely in NO quite well. And Al Gore’s doc is up for an Oscar :)
Some person on youtube is telling me that _ fans are purposely giving my “I Only Have Eyes for You” video low ratings….when it’s 5 out of 5 stars. Weird.
I have a few thoughts on Brad telling friends that sex with Angie is the best he’s ever had-
When I read that Brad’s male friends (I didn’t see any female names listed) threw him a birthday dinner in the Wine Room of that restaurant, and Angie didn’t go, it sounded to me like his friends were “roasting” him. That just seemed like something that Brad and GC and the others would do to each other. During a “roast” like that it’s not unusual for there to be back and forth banter about the “roastee’s” sex life. And there would be other people around, waiters, busboys, etc., so the evening’s “highlights’ could have made it’s way to Ted C.
JMO
It is your right to dissagree with me. I know what I saw. Go help someone today and lead by your “leaders” example…….I guess, if that is how you view her. I on the other hand tend to look to actual SELFLESS displays of generosity, where there is absolutely NO PAYOFF WHATSEVER TO THE GIVER. If she was truly humble she would just give and not need to stand up and say,”Hey, look at me, look at me’!
It doesn’t count if someone knows you did somethning good…..you need to keep it to yourself!

There was a gorgeous little girl (could be a little boy, but I think it’s a girl) sitting alone with Angelina Cambodia whose smile I personally fell in love with, and who also had me wishing she would be a part of the family. If any of what Lny says pan’s out then I guess it won’t be the little girl since she’s in Cambodia not Vietnam, and plus I really have no idea if she was without parents. I guess sometimes it’s hard to remember that every kid they hold isn’t necessarily an orphan lol.

I don’t believe that Brad talked about their sex life with someone who would talk to someonelse. Not because their sex life is not worth to talk about, it’s because Brad is not a kind of guy who would not.
He could say having a life a like monk to show that he is away from his wife and still loyal. But the rest, I don’t think so.
to GULI,
I can send you my daughter who is 3 years old for a couple of days. I am sure that you will change your mind immediately about missing the small children around you, trust me on this!
Thanks Jared. Hot hot Hot!!

you’re welcome, guli. i thought that info on child development was pretty interesting. i especially like the part where she should be saying ma-ma and da-da by now. but who knows, with zahara the diva around, shiloh’s probably trying to get out full sentences! oh, and thanks for the tidbit about your sons. my mum says i didn’t crawl either. she looked around one day and i was using the furniture to stand. i didn’t even scoot. guess i didn’t like being on the ground.

the garden district isn’t the same as the french quarter. the vieux carre (french quarter) is where the european settlers built their businesses and homes. the garden district is where the english built their estates. it’s a streetcar ride from the garden district to the quarter, you have to pass through the Central Business District first.

Angelina resented being on the Red Carpet at the GG. She was such a dissapointment. You shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you! She is affording her lifestyle because she is banked by those studios who put out those movies and support those award shows. She should be grateful instead of being such a snob. She is no different than anyone else. !/3 of her income…..give me a break. I gift more than 1/3 if my income at church, school events and just helping out the guy next door. Who does she think she is? If she really cared she would have taken the example of Brad and used the Red Carpet as a forum to speak out about helping in the U.S. as well as in 3rd world countries.
She should take the wods of Mother Teresa to heart:
We can do
no great things,
only small
things
with great
love.
Humble yourself Angelina. Your no better than anyone else who offers their hand to help another.
************************************************
Stop creating imaginary events in your head ok? Angelina is being Angelina and has been Angelina for the past 5 years. Since you don’t know anything about her just a little tidbit: When she was filimng Tomb Raider in Cambodia, she saw things with her own eyes that she could not have imagined existed on earth. This was a very humbling experience for her. She has said this many times. After her first UNHCR she spent an hour on the phone crying, telling her mother what she had seen. She was 24 years old. Most Americans don’t have a clue. Proof? The mantra of “why doesn’t she help in the US? there are poor here too.” The poorest of the poor in the US would be considered very wealthy in many countries.
Go back to sleep and stop acting like Angelina all of a sudden came out of nowhere.

Oh please, stop rehashing the GG since this has already been discussed to death (go add your two cents in the GG thread in the archives).
As for your oh so unique approach as tending to look at actual selfless displays of generosity, go and find such unnoticed acts of charity and publicize them instead of harping on AJ since the former may actually do some good somewhere.
By the way, the reason why Angie’s charity work gets a lot of press is twofold: she’s always hounded by the paparazzi to report her every move (see pics above) and she’s a UN ambassador and her JOB REQUIRES that she do what she can to bring attention to the plight of the people she visits. So it will do the UN no good if the areas they are trying to help are largely ignored by the world if they and their ambassadors kept their work to themselves. The public can’t donate or find ways to give assistance when they don’t know where it’s needed.
ooooooh look at her she looks like $hit she rally do, hello anoroxia ,would someone please give her something to eat or even better hide her or something you know what will rally be great if she bought another child or something i heard thers a huge sale in africa these time of year so you can all call her angel. f.u.c.k
janine stamper-
Leading by example does NOT mean touting your horn and shoving things down people’s throats, it means, doing things and living your life in a good positive way WITHOUT asking for recognition. DUH!!! Angie is NOT asking for all she gets, she IS leading her life in a positive way and OTHERS are recognizing and commending her on it.

ROTFLMAO! Maybe, if you got off of your own high horse you’d do what you preach.
Lordy, hypocrits always screw themselves over.
So sad…
People in such need of a ‘lock’ or an ‘in’ in their own lives that they are so threatened by the possibility that a parent can love an adopted child as much as a biological one. These people are so desperate for Angelina to go on record and say that Shiloh reign above all others.
I tell you what… why don’t you ‘concerned’ people rent Little House on the Prairie. You know, the episode when Half Pint questioned whether Pa Ingalls loved Albert more than her. Or maybe revisit the later seasons when mop-top Jason Bateman and that big-eyed girl joined the Ingalls clan. Did Albert question whether Pa Ingalls loved the newly adopted kids more than him? Was Ma Ingalls questioned about feeling more about James and Cassandra since they witnessed their parents’ demise?
Yes, I realize that LHOTP was a work of fiction, as are some of your cries of concern for Shiloh and your daily insistence that some or all of their children are pawns, which they are, in your hands, but seriously…
Get this straight… allowing love in one’s life should be complete and absolute. What is the point of opening yourself to it, in all of its various shapes and forms, only to slap it away because it doesn’t coordinate to other people’s standards?

i thought you’d like that. it’s interesting to see what a baby’s development should be like at different stages. sometimes when there are other older children around, babies advance faster because they want to keep up with the older kids. miss shiloh is probably working real hard to get those legs working so she can chase madd and zee around the house.

Love that Matt Damon is loving our couple Brad & Angelina. He’s seen the relationship up close as Brad was with Angelina in the DR while filming TGS. It seems like all the important sane people understand the unconditional love they have for each other while all the wackjobs have delusions of Brad leaving his adopted children, but, wait, taking his bio kid, and get this….run back to Chimichurri or whateva her name is.

————————————–
first off all i’m sick of all this nonsense about how angelina jolie thinks taht red carpets are a waste of time she has never said that. she see’s it as a part of her job description, so she does it willingly and happily. the reason is because she has said herself that acting has been such a gift and helped her find herself and things she loves, not only that but it also allows her to contribute as much as she does and give her children and herself the lifestyle she wants…at the GG it was brad’s night and she wanted him to have it, end of story plus she was absolutely civil.
janine - you’re obviously not a fan because the reason people started finding out that she contributed 1/3 of her income is because the media found out and asked her during interviews. but if you watch the videos where she gets interviewed and asked about it in the beginning you can see she’s a little reluctant to talk about it and a little embarrassed. in some of them she kind of brushes it off like of course why wouldn’t you. she didn’t actively seek out the media to tell them what she was doing financially. she doesn’t care about publicity, obviously she doesn’t even have a PR person unlike 99% of hollywood who use them like its going out of style…at least get your facts straight
What did Matt say? I have always been a fans of his… I never really liked Ben Afflack or whatever his name is.
“too skinny”? mwahahahaha that’s not that negative compared to some other comments on here
people take comments about people *they don’t know* so personally, give me freakin a break
we get to talk smack or good stuff about celebrities, hey they get their $$ because of being popular in the public eye, i wholeheartedly support all celebrity gossip!
plus no denying that all celebrities have had some sort of plastic surgery and are high maintainance, including jolie and pitt and aniston, ALL OF THEM. dude they get lots of perks for FREE even, its not even like they need to lay down the big bucks.
p.s. i’m so happy to see them ignore everything and live their lives they are a lot stronger than most and look incredibly beautiful and happy
thank you, gitane for the info on garden district vs french quarter.
my opinion regarding lainey’s speculation on adoption.
i remember she said the pitts bought a house at garden district. did she really have inside info. i doubt that. she is deducing from the following info 1) the pitts are always staying together on location 2) we know brad is going to film in new orleans 3) it’s public info as to how long the shoot is 4) for a big family, hotel is not convenient and for the duration of the stay, naturally will be purchasing a house 5) she guessed (which proved wrong) garden district, because it’s famous for architecture (brad loves architecture) and is where the wealthy one stays, therefore, lainey speculated it’s the garden district. if she really have inside info, why would she say garden district?
as to her speculation of school—1) we know mad needs to go to school 2) for the duration of the shoot (3 or 4 months), mad has to go to school 3) it’s not difficult to name several schools
as to her recent speculation about a vietnam adoption–
1) i remember sometime around december when angie is doing all the TV interview for the good shepherd, there is one video with Seth Goodman (a young guy) on MSNBC. he asked when is the adoption, angie said “it wont be for a while”. i listened to that video twice. i wish someone can find it.
2) notice lainey’s article, she used the word “yet to be confirmed sources”, i think she is projecting because we all know angie and brad will adopt. So lainey is projecting ahead of time.
3) lainey went on to detail about filing papers with the councilate. this is not inside info. all you have to know is what is the procedure for foreign adoption.
G…
I’m not sure about Deanie’s in Bywater…I rarely travel that way since moving to Slidell. I know Deanie’s in the East is open and yes the seafood platter is still huge. Now I haven’t heard if Jack Dempsey’s is back up…do you remember that one…man those were the days…girl!
look at you people praising her for being such a b.e.t.c.h she and brad are the most hypocrit couple in the world they act like they are just so sick of all the fame and money and just want to play house i mean make ((fakily)) thats fake family ,they lied in your face about whats happining between them and they (hide it) just to get more attention and on top of that they went baby shopping and picked z from ethiobia so they can look like angels in your eyes ……..
Medi—you are cracking me up. I know they are a handful at that age. I can’t tell you how many times I left a grocery store with cart full of food w/o checking out since one of them was having a temper tandrum. But, as hard as it is at that age, when they leave to go to college and you know they are going to move on to build their own lives and families, it sure makes you miss those days and memories….
Gitane— I used to breed Golden-Retrievers. I don’t know if you know Goldens, they are such docile and loving dogs and all three of my kids learnt how to stand up by hanging on to my dog Golda (she passed away 15 years ago) and Golda would not move knowing that if she did the babies would fall. Than I had her daughter Ayla for 13 years……..Oh, this brings back memories and lovely ones…..
if this adoption story turns out to be true, the “official denial story of adoption” would make one looks bad.
brad does not have to mention about this ‘adoption” on people. but he did.
therefore i doubt if this vietnam adoption is another one of lainey’s speculation.
of course i have to give her credit for a couple times she GUESSED right.
remember, she was so sure angie will be with brad at the toronto festival. turn out angie wasnt there. isnt toronto lainey’s turf and she is supposed to know more? but i guess she missed that guess by a big margin.

i never ate at jack dempsey’s. or at least i don’t remember it. i could sure use some cane river shrimp and grits from upperline. hell, lemme go see if i can find that recipe…

no, i don’t know much about golden retrievers. i like toys–chihuahuas to be precise. no kid can use my little dogs to help them stand up!
your story reminds me of lady and the tramp and how all lady wanted to do was protect the baby. it was so sweet. i had a german shepherd when i was little and he’d run down anybody that threatened me.
that reminds me–braddy’s got dogs IIRC. any word on whether or not the pooches have joined the family in NOLA?
Brad must have one awesome Golden Banana because the craziness that erupted after his marriage was over is just unbelievable-The sad thing is I don’t believe_cared at all-How in the world could you let that kinda hotness go?? I would have lost all dignity for that one!

WTF??????? Who writes this BS???????????
Jennifer Aniston: girl next door or unattainable sex goddess? Jennifer has undergone many hairstyles, but she remains a classic beauty. Although she’s not striking, she has an undeniable presence that makes everyone want to be her friend… or more.
Jennifer was a struggling actress trying to make it in Hollywood when she was cast as spoiled princess Rachel Green, and we knew her life (and ours) would change once Friends debuted in 1994. And although Courteney Cox was the only famous cast member at the time thanks to her role in Ace Ventura, there’s no doubt that Jennifer Aniston was the show’s biggest breakout star, with roles in blockbusters and a permanent seat among the Hollywood elite.
personality & talent
83
For years it seemed like Jennifer Aniston could only portray Rachel Green onscreen: a spoiled yet sweet and emotional woman who relies on her charm, beauty and physical humor to get laughs and win the hearts of million.
This was made even more evident when she starred in films like Picture Perfect and Along Came Polly. She was also often cast as the loyal, well-meaning girlfriend, like in the films Rock Star and Bruce Almighty. But her raw talent was finally displayed when she starred as Justine in 2002’s The Good Girl. As a discount store clerk who longs for more and has an affair with a young and disturbed colleague, Jennifer wowed both critics and audiences alike, and her gritty portrayal generated plenty of Oscar buzz.
She received Best Actress nominations courtesy of the Independent Spirit Awards and the Golden Satellite Awards, and although she didn’t win, she did win an Emmy in 2002, and a Golden Globe in 2003, for the role of Rachel.
We know that with time and the right role, Jennifer Aniston will be able to add an Oscar to her mantle.
But even though she’s not known as a celebrated actress, critics and fans love her because she’s impossible to dislike. For starters, she managed to land Brad Pitt, the guy who can easily get any girl in the world (let’s be honest…). And even though she’s always considered the most beautiful and best-dressed celebrity, she doesn’t seem to care about such superficial honors. She always comes across as a likeable, genuine person who loves life and doesn’t realize just how beautiful she really is.
sexiness
89
Jennifer might not be a sexy vixen, but everything about her is appealing. The way she looks during every public outing, the way she’s sweet and respectful of everyone, the way she doesn’t think she’s God’s gift to man, and the way her ultra-fit figure looks in every single thing she wears. The best part? Although she looks like an innocent girl, we know Jennifer is a wild woman behind closed doors.

Gitane—Ok I will bore everyone else, but they have the option of skipping. Our neighbors called us the “101 Dalmations”. Well, like I said I used to breed Goldens and I had Golda my first AKC registered, then bred her to Rally a champion golden and kept Ayla from the litter. Well, a very horny black-lab somehow figured out to get thru the fence , which to this day I can’t figure out how (I guess if you want something so bad you figure it out) We were in Florida, I get a call from my mother-in-law who was taking care of the dogs and says Golda had six puppies under the deck and she called the fire-dept to get her out. So we come back in shock since I didn’t know she was preggy and three days later Ayla has 13 puppies. Can you imagine 19 puppies, oddly enough half were black-labs and half golden, there none that had a mix color……..since they were mixed breed I had to find good homes for free for all of them……….. So they still call us the 101 dalmations house :lol:

The Daily Classic Quiveration: Brad Pitt
It has been a while…and the rubber face at the Globes didn’t help either. But here’s a candid we can all quiver over – Brad in NOLA picking up Maddox from school, Angie playing perfect mommy as well.
As you know, the First Family has now settled in New Orleans, I’m told Maddox is now thriving in a regular schedule, parents at the immersion school were sent letters a few weeks ago, informing them of the arrival of the Pitts and new security measures that were instituted in preparation, resulting in a change of entrance and exit routes for students in and out of the facilities.
In regards to that trip to Vietnam – Angelina took Maddox for a series of meetings about the Maddox Chivan Project last week and although they’ve “officially” denied initiating adoption proceedings, I’ve received a couple of (as yet unconfirmed) tips from new sources there who insist that paperwork was indeed submitted and filed with the US Consulate in HCM City for a fourth child that the Pitts supposedly met and fell in love with during their trip to the country together several week ago. For what it’s worth, said sources claim that they saw the documents with their very own eyes and that the process should be complete before summer – standard procedure they say and notable because they apparently all expected the Hollywood Pitts to ask for exceptions and were stunned when they didn’t.
As I said before, still working to lock this down, let you know when I do.
Malibumom, you rock! This was the post of the day!

As I’ve no interest in Ms Aniston I skip past any posts which mention her, however well written or argued they may be - I’m just not interested, but hey, each to what interests them.
^^^^
While I can’t say I haven’t read what the headlines say, it’s very rare I venture deeper because like you “I just don’t care,” and again like you, to each their own. I think we all can co-exist here even if sometimes the pickin’s get slim subject wise for some of us.

About the Golden Globes-
With all this talk about the Goden Globes still going on, I just wanted to say that Angelina has always said that she does not like those kind of events and that she sees them as a waste of time. You see, when you go outside of this country and see the kind of povery and devestation that she sees in those thirld world countries, it is not hard to see the absurdity of the Golden Globe hoopla and be turned off by all of it.
She also was a bit nervous, because she and were Brad were sort of coming out as a loving couple and showing affection for the first time for the whole world to see on the red carpet.
I am also thinking that she was a blit nervous about running into her father during the GG or afterwards at the parties which Jon Voight usually shows up for.
Lastly, I have watched the Access Hollywood and E! interviews, and I really did not see what all the fuss was about. She seemed fine, may be not overly warm, but certainly not upset. And once they were inside, all the pics of her at their table show a very happy Angie indeed!
Orange Peel:
There is not a humble bone in this girls body!!! When she acts embarrassed by the press question “Do you contribute 1/3 of your income to charity” she is in fact ACTING!!! Have you ever heard of the words “NO COMMENT”? Apparently, AJ hasn’t either. She is just sitting there waiting for the question, don’t be fooled.

Thanks for posting this, All Narural.
Our Angie is one gorgeous woman. Little Shi has the beautiful lips of her mama.
Tijen. well it wasn’t funny at the time when hubby and I were down in the basement with showels cleaning puppy doo-doo for 8 weeks. :lol:
How are you Tijen? So when will you go back to Turkey?
Alex— I miss you, how are you?
So, the topic of the day for the trolls is she is skinny. OK, so who gives a rats **** since she isn’t…. But as an ealiar poster said, our BRADLEY loves our ANGIE just the way she is….So go worry about how the nose job turns out ( man that rhymed to a blow j*b , well either case won’t be good JMHO)………….
Guli-
I can’t imagine how much work that was.
I should not complain about my one and only rat terrier Eddie.
I am planning on going to Turkey in October this year. The family is not going with me since we’re all going to Hawaii for Spring Break in March. I am excited. I have never been to Hawaii before.
Wow…what an interesting thread this has been. First off, thanks Gitane, Me too, Me Again and Frenchy for making very, very hungry. Now the stupid chicken salad I had for lunch now seems sooo bleh. Anyway, after wiping the tear from my eyes…from laughing, I made a list of today’s complaints…
She’s too skinny
She smiles more when she’s not with him
What happened to their other car?
She is smiling to make up for the Golden Globes.
They look happy because they are on drugs
They are “the most hypocrit couple” in the world (Don’t you just love how the Fanistons…taking a cue from the girl, make everything about the WORLD?)
Rotflmao…Honestly, can it get more ridiculous than these? Well I suppose it could…we are dealing with nitwits after all. Speaking of nitwits, let’s not forget Janine Stamper….why do I get the image of her 3 yrs old stomping her feet screaming gibberish at the top of her lungs.
Brad likes his women skinny.
I remember reading that somewhere. I am not making it up.
I don’t get one point, if you are an actress, do you have to smile and look like a doll all the time?
If Angie doesn’t feel like smiling, she is not going to smile just to look nice and cute in the photos. Her job is to be an actor, it doesn’t require that she has to smile every single time she is out of her house. She is not a receptionist at the hotel!
By the way, she looks beautiful even without a smile. She doesn’t have a chin to hide behind the big and fake smile.
to GULI,
Please, I do insist please take her just for couple days. Then, you will be thankful to just have the memories, instead of her in your house.
I do love her more than anything but she knows how to drive me to the wall.
Tijen,
The Golden Globes and other award shows are a marketing tool for the studios. Any actor/actress knows that and should support their industry. After all, the studios/fans are the very reason AJ and stars in general have their bread and butter, meat on the table and that big house in New Orleans to go home to at night. The fans love the GG. AJ should be more respectful of her position and the great luck she has had in this life to make the living she does. She should do everything to show appreciation to her fans/her studio and the industry. If she thinks they are a waste of time then why participate? Go home, don’t act, find another profession.

Is Maddox named from the character in Life or Something Like It?(did she get the idea?)
Was Zahara Marley already named(I read that somewhere)?
If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.
****************************
Zahara already had her first name when Angie first met her, Angie liked the name so she kept it. But Angie gave her the name Marley.

—————
Angelina has never said that! Stop acting like the haters by putting words in her mouth.
GREAT PICS!!
I really believe that Angelina will eventually stop making movies in Hollywood. She has got her Oscar, she has made good movies. I get the feeling that her heart is not in it much anymore. I think she will be like Annette Bening, concentrating on her kids and family. She gets more satisfaction from her humanitarian endevours. I think that Brad will help her with all of that. He will be the one making movies.
Janine Stamper, ja9stamper or whatever the hell you call yourself. You can change your moniker, but you’re still stupid and irrelevant.
haters let’s make deal:
You will not stop hating the Jolie-Pitts
We shall not stop admiring them.
Then, stop nagging.
Mira slams B`wood stars for refusing AIDS awareness films
Washington, Jan 25: Bollywood director Mira Nair has criticised A-list Bollywood actors for refusing to star in a series of short films designed to spread awareness of HIV/AIDS in India.
Nair will direct one of four low-budget, 12-minute movies to be shown in cinemas ahead of full-length Bollywood films, which will be funded by the charity Bill + Melinda Gates Foundation.
But Nair says she was unable to get top Bollywood actors to feature in the shorts because of the association with the disease.
“Lots of stars don`t want to be associated with the virus. Some live and don`t learn,” she was quoted by Contactmusic, as saying.
Meanwhile Nair will be at the helm of the Johnny Depp starrer `Shantaram`.
Based on the best selling novel by Gregory David Roberts , Shantaram recalls the adventures of an escaped-con/heroin addict who poses as a doctor treating Bombay vagrant.
Brad Pitt`s banner Plan B is pitching in as well, with shooting that could start as early as fall for a 2008 release, reports Eonline.
The emergence of e-commerce has made high-impact direct mail more important now than ever before. As the Internet emerged in the last decade, conventional wisdom was that it would totally supplant direct mail as the new way to reach customers in an efficient, inexpensive, and highly targeted way. Instead, however, the emergence of non-traditional media is serving to make traditional direct mail all the more important. Today, direct marketing success is about integrating all the available marketing tools: direct mail pieces, mailing lists, email lists, website, internal databases, sales force, etc. Now, the method of integrating these tools together is where marketing leverage exists and powerful marketing successes emerge.
According to Seth Godins’ best-selling book Permission Marketing, the average person is confronted by about 3,000 marketing messages everyday-the average business person even more. Television, radio, Internet, telemarketers, print, mail, cell phones-the competition for a prospect’s attention is fierce. More than ever, the tactile experience (opening, unfolding, touching) is the catalyst that actually causes the target to notice, pause, interact, and respond.
High-impact marketing formats (through the use of pop-ups, movement, and lights and sound) touch a visceral emotional chord. Those same childlike reactions of wonder, surprise, humor, and excitement that we all experience when looking at a pop-up book are at work in these advertising formats as well. High-impact formats are looked at longer than flat pieces of advertising. They are shared with others, even saved. That truly creates marketing leverage and results. Integrate these elements as part of a larger campaign, and you’ve gained an advantage.
Ironically, the goal of directing prospects to a specific website is one objective that benefits greatly from a high-impact, tactile print promotion. Since the selling power of a website is so powerful with potential customers retrieving information, evaluating suppliers, defining needs, and even making purchases in a matter of seconds, capturing their attention with your direct mail effort is essential. Marketers can now integrate high-impact direct mail and the Web to move prospects and customers more quickly and more decisively to a purchase decision than either medium can accomplish alone.
So, how can this work? Well, getting them to the site is the first challenge. Certainly, links and other on-line pointers have to be integrated into the mix; but for best results, a campaign that integrates excellent data, a high-impact direct mail format, a Web platform that integrates response data seamlessly, and great back end follow-up may be your best bet. In the traditional world of ink on paper advertising, high-impact direct mail has consistently produced superior response rate results than its standard flat counterparts. Direct mail initiatives that include a pop-up, a sound module, or some other type of interactive device generally improve call-to-action responses by a rate of two to three times. Rate response is, of course, dependent on many factors, not the least of which is the quality of the data and the relevance of the offer. With all else being equal, however, high-impact formats have proven to bring lasting, often outstanding results.
Take that degree of effectiveness and apply it to the immediacy and power of the Internet, and you can begin to see why high-impact direct mail can be an even more attractive medium in the world of e-commerce. In this way high-impact direct mail immediately shortens your selling cycle and thereby reduces your selling costs.
Integrated Web-based promotions that utilize high-impact pieces can be leveraged even further with good sales or telemarketing follow-up. No matter how much technology you employ, there is often no substitute for live, knowledgeable sales professionals closing sales and developing relationships. High-impact direct mail is a great door opener for personal sales follow-up, whether the lead was generated on the Web or not. The targets’ recognition of the direct mail piece, the message, and the advertiser who sent it can soften the challenge of every sales call-in those very important, first few seconds.
Studies have shown that no matter how much information is available on-line, artifacts (such as printouts and brochures) are still very important ways to communicate and retain information. As any good direct marketer knows, people are different and respond in different ways to different media. Some will only respond to cyber tools in the mix, but some gain information through tactile experiences. Therefore, this buying segment can’t be left out of the mix, and they are excellent targets for high-impact and conventional direct mail.
E-commerce has been referred to as “shopping on steroids” - instant access to information, product lines, and pricing with purchasing as easy as the click of a mouse. That being the case, think of high impact direct mail as “advertising on steroids.” It offers a “pumped up” way to break into your targets fast paced world long enough to have them notice you and your message, and it works hard at moving them to your website. Understand your target and how they want to be communicated with-you may be surprised; and if you only deal with cyber tools, you may be surprised by who you are missing.
Now that was rude!
jared!!! you’re getting spammed!!!!

Don’t you know….being an actress is synonymous to being a puppet on strings, you have to be ON all the times, you’re not allowed to have a bad day, you’re not allowed to have a mind of your own…until someone (a publicist) programs you to. It has worked well for “certain people”…but these people never had a mind of their own in the first place, so there.

I saw on your question on the last thread re Olivier Martinez and the E! Reporter….as soon as he gave his answer, they cut to scenes of his new movie so we didn’t get a chance to see her expression. Bet she felt stupid because his answer basically implied she was stupid. I wish there were more people like Olivier Martinez.

I am from Sub-Saharan Africa???? It’s a region filled with many countries. Please don’t promote the misrepresentation. I am from South Africa - which happened to be Sub-Sahara, and I have access to all of the above. And there are no elephants walking around my back yard.

Hey, I live right below the Sahara, i.e. Ghana. Mind you, South Africa is not considered Africa in the context of the privileges and facilities you have down there. Access to American TV and tabloids are for the privilege few here. I am one of the fortunate few(small % of total population) here who have access to good internet connection at home 24 hours a day.
This is exactly why I am questioning Oprah’s $40 million school in S. Africa. I love Oprah. I really wish and pray that she will do something for her motherland(i.e. to be specific, West AFrica).

WTF??????? Who writes this BS???????????
Jennifer Aniston: girl next door or unattainable sex goddess? Jennifer has undergone many hairstyles, but she remains a classic beauty. Although she’s not striking, she has an undeniable presence that makes everyone want to be her friend… or more.
Jennifer was a struggling actress trying to make it in Hollywood when she was cast as spoiled princess Rachel Green, and we knew her life (and ours) would change once Friends debuted in 1994. And although Courteney Cox was the only famous cast member at the time thanks to her role in Ace Ventura, there’s no doubt that Jennifer Aniston was the show’s biggest breakout star, with roles in blockbusters and a permanent seat among the Hollywood elite.
personality & talent
83
For years it seemed like Jennifer Aniston could only portray Rachel Green onscreen: a spoiled yet sweet and emotional woman who relies on her charm, beauty and physical humor to get laughs and win the hearts of million.
This was made even more evident when she starred in films like Picture Perfect and Along Came Polly. She was also often cast as the loyal, well-meaning girlfriend, like in the films Rock Star and Bruce Almighty. But her raw talent was finally displayed when she starred as Justine in 2002’s The Good Girl. As a discount store clerk who longs for more and has an affair with a young and disturbed colleague, Jennifer wowed both critics and audiences alike, and her gritty portrayal generated plenty of Oscar buzz.
She received Best Actress nominations courtesy of the Independent Spirit Awards and the Golden Satellite Awards, and although she didn’t win, she did win an Emmy in 2002, and a Golden Globe in 2003, for the role of Rachel.
We know that with time and the right role, Jennifer Aniston will be able to add an Oscar to her mantle.
But even though she’s not known as a celebrated actress, critics and fans love her because she’s impossible to dislike. For starters, she managed to land Brad Pitt, the guy who can easily get any girl in the world (let’s be honest…). And even though she’s always considered the most beautiful and best-dressed celebrity, she doesn’t seem to care about such superficial honors. She always comes across as a likeable, genuine person who loves life and doesn’t realize just how beautiful she really is.
sexiness
89
Jennifer might not be a sexy vixen, but everything about her is appealing. The way she looks during every public outing, the way she’s sweet and respectful of everyone, the way she doesn’t think she’s God’s gift to man, and the way her ultra-fit figure looks in every single thing she wears. The best part? Although she looks like an innocent girl, we know Jennifer is a wild woman behind closed doors.

===========================
alright Ryan, we heard all this on your radio show the day after the GGs, get over yourself
Mariane Pearl sat in the back of the candle-lit restaurant in West Los Angeles. She had walked in and was immediately ushered to a hidden table for six around a tiled partition, clearly set up for private meals and meetings. She though was sitting at the table for fifteen minutes, all alone, sipping a green tea and wondering if this was going to be one of those typical Hollywood meetings where the movie stars are late and everyone waits, sitting on their hands, having small talk simply to fill the dead space until the stars arrive. Mariane, though, had no one to try out small talk with. Alone, is what she was, very much alone since her husband, Daniel Pearl, was brutally kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan. She had written her book, A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl to keep herself busy, to diminish the feeling of loneliness, an attempt to bring back Danny if just in her mind as she reconstructed her husband’s life.
Mariane was surprised when the book was immediately picked up and it sold well. She immediately became a minor celebrity, calls from agents about appearances, speeches, fund-raising events and of course movie deals. It was the call from Jennifer Aniston, a direct call, a personal call, with Jennifer on the other line, calling Mariane on Mariane’s cell phone, that was the biggest surprise. Jennifer read the book and wanted to buy the movie rights. They met on several occasions, Jennifer Aniston and Mariane Pearl, at restaurants, at Jennifer’s house, at Mariane’s house, at business offices, and all along Jennifer was very upfront about why she was interested. Jennifer Aniston wanted to play the role of Mariane Pearl in the movie based on her book.
Mariane was of course flattered. Jennifer Aniston playing her. The thought was both amusing and at times difficult to wrap her arms around. Not that Jennifer Ansiton couldn’t do it. It was just that anyone playing Mariane, particularly someone so beautiful and charismatic and famous as Jennifer Aniston, was difficult to fathom. Someone other than you playing you was like looking in a mirror and seeing someone else. Or was it like watching yourself, an act of narcissim that Mariane did not wish to grapple with. Afterall, this happened all the time. So she had decided to let it happen. Jennifer Aniston would be Mariane Pearl. At least in a movie.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie walked around the partition, both dressed very casually, hidden by sunglasses and scarves. Mariane was surprised to see Angelina Jolie. Mariane thought that she was simply meeting Brad Pitt.
“Sorry we’re late,” said Brad.
“It’s OK,” said Mariane.
A waiter arrived.
“Just a cappucinno for me in a paper cup,” said Brad.
The waiter looked at Angelina, who shook her head in silence.
“This is Angelina. Angelina this is Mariane Pearl,” said Brad.
“Hi,” said Angelina.
“Hi,” said Mariane.
“I have some very exciting news, Mariane,” said Brad.
“Yes?” said Mariane.
“We are proceeding with the movie. Michael Winterbottom is directing. I’m producing. We are starting right away with development,” said Brad.
“Great,” said Mariane.
“A minor change. Well, actually a big change, one that helps the film enormously. Angelina is going to play you,” said Brad.
“Angelina? But I thought…” said Mariane.
“Jennifer is no longer involved. But that is OK. It is all good,” said Brad.
“But I was just talking to Jennifer, I don’t know, maybe three weeks ago. She was doing some research,” said Mariane.
“Brad, I said it would be better if…” said Angelina.
“No. It is important that you are here. Mariane, this is a crazy business. Things never proceed as originally planned. Usually things fall apart. But you are lucky. You are very lucky. Rather than fall apart, your book, Danny’s life and your life will all come together in a movie starring an actor with even better credentials. It is all good, and I promise you this will move forward and be a major motion picture,” said Brad.
“I don’t know. I feel funny about this. I feel bad,” said Mariane.
“Yes, but frankly, Mariane, you really don’t have a say in casting,” said Brad.
“Oh shut up Brad, of course she has a say,” said Angelina with a slight smile on her face. “Mariane, I have read your book several times, and it has become very important to me to become a part of this project. As you no doubt know, I have dedicated much of my life to traveling the world and to purposely involving myself in causes for the underprivileged, the poor, the sick. I have used my celebrity as best I can to help others, rather than squander it on a Hollywood lifestyle. And to me, the fact that you and Danny did not have the resources at your disposal as I do, you nevertheless still dedicated your lives to others. That astounds me, that you and Danny would give so much of yourselves when you did not have much in the way of money or wealth or command of the media. I sit here in awe of you and of your late husband, and I would consider it a privilege, indeed an honor, to play the role of your life. In fact, I hunger to do so because it is a story that must be told,” said Angelina.
Mariane was not stupid. She felt she was being played, and Angelina was playing her like a deck of cards. But quite frankly, Angelina seemed sincere. Now of course she might be simply acting. Afterall, she is an actress. But the energy between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt disturbed the air around the table with a narcotic that almost made Mariane giddy. Maybe Mariane was being played, but she felt high from it all.
“I am very flattered that you would say all that. But I still feel uncomfortable about the Jennifer thing,” said Mariane.
“Of course you do. Anyone would. But you know the things that have happened. Jennifer no longer has any interest in the production company, Brad’s Plan B production company, that purchased the rights to your book, and to put it bluntly, and I think you know this all too well, **** happens,” said Angelina.
Mariane looked at Angelina who was returning the look. Brad had long since sat back in his chair sipping his cappuccino that was served almost immediately after he ordered it. Brad was out of the equation, at least for this meeting. Angelina’s “**** happens” remark was her way of communicating that this is the way it is, and there is nothing Mariane can do about it. Nevertheless, it almost added to the narcotic effect of the moment to watch Angelina Jolie say “**** happens.”
“Well, OK. I guess,” said Mariane.
“I knew you would understand. And you know we are going to be spending a lot of time together. I have to get to know you. I’ve got to know you to play you,” said Angelina.
Mariane could not help but think that this little meeting had already started to instruct Angelina about Mariane.
“One thing, though, Mariane, and this is very important. You must drop the Jennifer Aniston thing when asked by the media, and you must enthusiastically support the decision of casting me in the movie. If the media starts to give us bad press, then this project will fall apart. That is not a threat, it is just Hollywood for you. It sucks, but money comes and goes so fast, and everyone is skittish about everything. You understand,” said Angelina.
“Yes,” said Mariane.
“I’ve got to go. Brad,” said Angelina as she stood. “You guys talk, fill Mariane in on the timing and everything,” said Angelina to Brad. “It was great meeting you,” said Angelina as she turned and walked out into the hot Los Angeles late afternoon sun.
“You want a drink?” asked Brad Pitt.
Alone with Brad Pitt in the back of a fancy Los Angeles restaurant. This was all set up to seal the deal. The girls came to terms, and now the guy is going to make certain it all proceeds in accordance with the plan. Plan B, that is.
