Ashes of Angie’s Mom To Be Scattered
British tabloid The Daily Mirror reports that Angelina Jolie will take Brad Pitt and her family to scatter her mom’s ashes in the Bahamas. (Marcheline Bertrand, 56, died last week from ovarian cancer.)
Their source says: “It was one of her favorite places, so Ange wants this to be special.”
Pictured: Brad Pitt leaving his Plan B production company’s offices late last night in Hollywood.

Thank you for being voices of reason regarding this retarded issue that Guli brought up. Seriously - you’ve had an e-mail now from Susie and Passing Through both stating that Lainey didn’t write anything out of respect (and her response is consistent). So clearly you are not going to believe her and that is now YOUR PROBLEM. If you can’t let it go then I think it’s time you step back from the computer and take a look at how this site is affecting your reasoning and logic. This is like arguing with the BAMZS haters - giving them a quote, direct from the horses mouth no less - and they won’t believe it! And we all know how frustrating THAT is. I will say this one more time - as a fellow Canadian I can understand exactly why she didn’t post anything about it on a gossip blog - it would have been considered disrespectful - the story draws hits to the site and then she’s making money off of someone’s death - don’t you get that? If you can’t wrap your brain around that thought then that is YOUR PROBLEM.
For you to say “The gossipist doth protest too much.” is just plain nuts - you’re the one harassing a blogger about what she posts about - she’s responding to YOU, not the other way around - and quite frankly it’s just plain PSYCHO - you’re taking it too far and embarassing the rest of us that love BAMZS. I never thought in a million years I’d be defending LAMEY on a gossip blog, but there is some truth to what she’s saying - sorry YOU can’t see it.
I come here to post on a fairly regular basis and I don’t keep the same name all the time - and I’ll tell you why: because I don’t want to be lumped in as a regular with some of you nut bars - you just go too far. From what I can suss out, I’m probably not the only one who does this either. The people I connect with most on here are fans of BAMZS, but more importantly of their humanitarian efforts and the fact that this amazing family isn’t afraid to tackle tough issues like refugees and the environment. The fact that they are movie stars who make great movies is icing on the cake, but I’d be a fan of theirs no matter HOW they made their money to fund the humanitarian efforts that are so important to them.
One last thing - I see Lainey on my local news all the time and trust me - girlfriend is NOT wearing Gucci and Prada. She’s not THAT successful. But it won’t stay that way if you keep giving credence to her blog and bringing her up on this site. Use your brains and judgment people!
Guli & Passing Through - MESSAGE ABOVE IS ADDRESSED TO YOU - I should have specified that.
Full Moon Fridays,
I agree with you. I think people take things too far on here sometimes too. I’ve even seen people boss Jared around, demanding that he take stuff down they find offensive that isn’t really offensive at all. For example the Angelina’s Ashes title which was simply a clever title that alluded to the movie Angela’s Ashes. He was being clever that’s it, not disrespectful. I’ve seen that more than once and I’m always like WTF.
And the incessant Jennifer Aniston bashing is just too much to take anymore. It’s disrespectful to the relationship Brad and Angelina have as devoted parents and a committed couple to continue to insert Jennifer Aniston and her life into what going on with them. It’s a continuation of the triangle BS which does create tab drama and pushes the paparrazi to continue to photograph them. The tabs have made tons of money off of this as it is and I don’t want to participate in helping them make more. Plus I don’t care about Jennifer Aniston’s life. I don’t care if she’s fake. I don’t need lengthy analysis of her behavior. She has the right live just as everyone else, and even if I’m not her fan, I have no right to be that upset with her because she hasn’t done a damn thing to me.
As far as Lainey, why she is even discussed is beyond me. I went to her site because I heard of her on here and after reading her commentary I wondered why in hell is she given credence? This is some woman’s opinion. She obviously took PR 101 in college and is poorly applying it to what she sees in Hollywoodland, but she really doesn’t know what she’s talking about most of the time, so who cares if she pays respect or not. I don’t. The death of Marcheline isn’t gossip and Lainey is not really a fan, she’s just trying to make some side money and gain a little fame herself. Discussing her makes her more important than she really is.
lula29 - thanks for the words of support - sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one who feels this way or the only one who is willing to “go against the grain” and speak up. It seems like if you don’t toe the ‘party line’ around here you’re reviled as much as the haters! But then again, there are all ages/intellects on here and some of us are functioning in the top percentile and aren’t going to agree with the “mass majority” in the middle and bottom I guess. I’ll keep trying to raise the level of the BAMZS thread to a more positive, enlightened level - BAMZS DESERVES THAT MUCH - and I hope you’ll join me in implementing this.
In the new People there is a picture of Marcheline in 1973 with JV (page 56, one page into the article). She has center-parted hair, smiling, she’s looking to the left. Next to that there is a picture of Angie in 1991 with JV–center-parted hair, smiling, looking to the left. I was struck by the similarity between these two beautiful women and I’m sure some People photo editor was struck by the similarity in photos as well. When I was in journalism grad school we studied People’s photo editing and it is quite artful–something that is often overshadowed by the editorial content. But they did a beautiful job on the Marcheline photo spread.
I agree that B & A fans are great posters. You learn a lot from them. They seem to have an international background and cosmopolitan culture.
^^^^ Yes - very true (and definitely one reason that those with English as a second language should NEVER be criticized). So many amazing people - it’s a shame when the negativity floats in.
