OlderAngelina Jolie’s Mom Dies at 56
Marcheline Bertrand, French actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, died of ovarian cancer in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after a 7.5 yearlong battle with cancer. (Age 56 as reported by IMDB.) Brad Pitt, Angie, and her older brother, James Haven, were at the hospital yesterday at the time Bertrand passed away.
Bertrand raised Angie and James after divorcing their father, Jon Voight (Angie was just a toddler at the time).
Our prayers and best wishes to the Pitt and Jolie family. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.

i meant us all
WE DO NOT DELETE the posts … Jared, the blog’s owner, does, because he wants to keep it a clean thread, not like the other blogs that deteriorate into a sick morass of heartlessness, nastiness, vileness … like you, Gina!
i really want to engaged that poster #514…………..ok i wont!ill log off!instead!I LOVE YOU BRANGIE!
Gina… you are the weird one. Your hate is eating you alive. No wonder at this time of bereavement your sick brain is working overtime. I do hope karma comes back to you & bite you in the *ss. How would you feel if people curse Aniston’s Dad since he suffered a heart attack before? I got no shame left to offer, I just do not feel anything can be salvage from your black soul.
gina is obviously in some form of pain herself. let her be.
My deep sympathy to Angelina, James & family on their loss. Rest in Peace Marcheline, you will be remembered by people who really care & loves you.
Passing Through,
People really believe that they can force people to stay together when sometimes that’s really not for the best.
Brad Pitt should have stayed with Jennifer Aniston, cuz them’s the rules.
Angelina should work harder (she should, not Jon Voight) to make amends, whatever the hell that means, because I was under the impression she had made amends, they just don’t have a relationship, she’s forgiven him and forgotten him and moved on. But they must be together, they must be together as the “normal” father and daughter relationship that the general public sees fit.
It’s crazy.
And not to be mean, but WTF?
The thing that really amazes me is how many people who believe that simply on the virtue of being parent and child the relationship will continue along as it did from the beginning. This is the silliest thing to me.
So many people sit and preach “marriage is hard work” and “you have to work to make a marriage work”, so people get that you have to constantly learn how to reconnect in a marriage, but you really do the same with the relationship with your kids. As they grow and go through different life stages, they change and you have to get to know them in some ways all over again and really work to stay connected over time. Jon Voight never put in any of the work, no wonder there is no longer any connection. You can’t pay lip service and be half assed at it and think there should be this amazing relationship there for you. You get what you give. That might not sound fair to some people, but that’s life. Jon Voight’s a grown man, he’s had relationships before he should no this. And what’s obvious, looking at the nature of all the relationships in his life, he’s doesn’t do the work it takes to keep any of it going. That’s his issue and he should try and fix it.
This isn’t about forgiveness. After you’ve forgiven, then what? Things just magically work, or do you work and put in effort to change what was broken if you’re truly sorry?
I get this feeling people believe that everything should just work by magic, because “wouldn’t it be nice if through all of this the relationship would just magically work on autopilot and things would appear better on the surface so I can rest easy.”‘
I’m sorry I just find it all crazy.
I do not know how Jennifer will feel if she realize that most of her fans are so evil. they can’t even comprehend the word “respect”. They all boosting their idol is so classy but they themselves do not have any ounce of class. Jst wondering…are all the haters Americans? If that’s true if the American culture are the ones going down the drain. Sad
My sincerest gratitude to Jared working so hard making this thread not overrun by haters. Take a bow Jared…we really admire you. Oh not to forget Audrey too.
Haters are cowards because they spill their evil thoughts…they know it is a blog & you can be unknown to your fellow posters. So they post & run. How pathetic they are…only a child or childish people, uneducated & lowlifers act that way.
I am late here but my thoughts are not. Marcheline may your soul rest in peace. I was so affected when I read the news this morning. My condolences to Angelina, her brother, Brad , their kids,Jon & the rest of the family members.
From Spain all the best for Angelina and her Family

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

i am really happy because i have learned so many things about brangelina just from reading here.
let us continue this outpour of support… let angels be your guide ms. marcheline
Hi Paula Bianca:
Pinay ka ba? Maraming Pilipino dito sa board na ito … we all have a good time, and also share the sad times together … it’s a fun blog, although sometimes there are a lot of trolls and haters — Jared just deletes their posts, and we go on our merry way.
hi to all… i’m also a filipina :)
hi j says and briseis… yup pinay din ako. its great there are a lot of us here, but such a sad occasion :(
agree :(
but i hope that this incident will help them to be more stronger and closer…
Hi J:
Kumusta? Usually it’s Missouri Fan who greets the newbies, but since she’s probably already sleeping, I’ll do it. Welcome to JustJared, it’s a fun blog for all BAMZS lovers — the posters come from all parts of the globe, and sharing is fun, informative and educational.
Thanks briseis… :)
I’ve been lurking here for long while now… and just started posting 3 months ago… but my posts are not that informative or articulate compared to the other posters… most of it are just reactions to some haters…
i’ve been initially an angelina’s fan.. i like her punk, i like her attitude and her approach in life…
I was so saddened when I heard the news yesterday… life can sometimes be unpredictable… but I pray for strength that they will be able to handle whatever pain of loss they are feeling right now …
guys i got to go, my baby’s b-day is coming up and i have to prepare for her party. it was great meeting you.
again, prayers and love to the jolie-pitt’s, james and all their family
happy birthday to your child… paula .. :)
Happy birthday to your Baby, Paula. It was also great meeting you … hope you post often.
Now, I better go back to work (lunchtime over)! Talk to you later, j!
Let’s all remember to pray for Brad, Angie and James as they try to weather this tough time.
have a great lunch briseis :)
they are always in my prayers :)
While I have never watched American Idol, I will never consider watching while Ryan Seacrest is involved with the show.
Back to posting again (when the boss’ away … yada yada yada)
ITA Tabitha. After his meanness and pettiness at the GG, I stopped watching everything involving Ryan Seacrest. I used to like watching American Idol, seeing how the contestants, the judges and the emcee all made fools out of themselves. And I used to a faithful daily watcher of E News and Daily 10, although I could barely tolerate Giuliana Dipandi (she looks so phony).
But ever since the GG incident, I have never ever watched E! again. I don’t need to watch a network that made fun of Angelina, when she did not even do anything wrong. Hey, Jada Pinkett-Smith seldom smiles on the red carpet, especially when something has PO’d her, so I don’t see why Angie should be given grief for not fawning over his Stupidness Ryan Seacrest.
It looks like flynetonline
are all over the Brad & Angelina tip. They have pics of each and a new vid of Brad.
