In case anyone didn’t see my post about this on the previous thread, CNN is running a special on Saturday and Sunday night (around 7 pm EST I think) called ‘The Journalist and the Jihadi’. It is about Daniel Pear and the events surrounding his deathl. I don’t think I have to explain why this might be of interest to the fans here :-)

Greetings from New York

Hi Jared, thanks for the new thread. =]

Brad Pitt’s First Film Was At The Drive-in
NY Times Magazine tapped Jake Paltrow, Gwyneth Paltrow’s younger brother, to shoot a short film of seven actors talking about the movies that made early impressions on them — Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Penelope Cruz, Helen Mirren, Ken Watanbe, and Abbie Cornish. Watch Jake Paltrow’s short film here.

Jake Paltrow, 31, had his new film The Good Night premiere at The Sundance Film Festival last month. Big sis Gwyn stars in it alongside Penelope Cruz. The Good Night is set for a nationwide release on Sept 21. Thanks, Charla!

Thanks for the information. I will be sure to use our DVR to watch later when Winterfest activity slows down.

Hope everyone is well…..off to a basketball game.

Thanks for the new thread! Peace to all.

Susie - lol - that’s shaking hands in greeting. I thought a hug might be a bit presumptuous! :-)

#32: It’s also on HBO. Saw it last night.

Thanks Jared.

Guli what time does the party start? Is anyone invited?

Missouri Fan
I am voting every chance I get.
and stay for the party.

Clinqua,
You are so right as usual, Angie was indeed talking to Brad.

Hehe… I love Helen Mirren and Cate Blanchett but I think that they are being a tiny bit pretentious in describing thier first films. Maybe it’s just me but what child is first impressed by horror and Italian movies? Leos ‘King Kong, ..Bedknobs and Broomsticks’ and Brads ‘Buth Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ were more realistic I think. Or maybe it’s just because Leos choices were like mine (for years I wanted a bed like the one in Bedknobs), and I love ‘Butch Cassidy’. Funnily enough although I hate remakes I’d love to see Brad in this story - don’t know who’s good to play partner to him though.

Interesting little vingette of a movie, and on a shallow note Brads voice is the hotness. Nice find, thanks Jared, that’s why I keep checking back here.

CH- Is it with Anderson Cooper cuz that’s what I have in that timeslot?

anyone else tired of the psuedo fans, yet?

i see the video. brad is wearing a ring on his right finger and he was rubbing it too. angie also wears a ring on her right finger and for all we know, they had probably exchanged vows way before!!!

Dragonfly: Saw your comments about the Borgia family - Angelina would be amazing in a great period piece such as this, and if Brad played opposite her I certainly wouldn’t complain I read a very well researched novel about the Borgia’s last year that you would likely enjoy. It’s called ‘The Borgia Bride’ and the author is Jeanne Kalogridis.

***************************************************
COALHARTBOURQT, is this a new film Angie going to star in and with brad in it?

Hi everyone. Thanks Jared for the clip.
Dragonfly and CHQT, Angie in the Borgia role sounds great to me.

Nope - sorry - didn’t mean to give that impression! Dragonfly had mentioned that she was watching something on the History Channel about the Borgia family and that she would like to see Angelina in a movie about them. I was agreeing with her and adding that if Brad was in it with her it would be even better :-)

coalharbourqt -and bdj- hello folks how are you…

Hanna- actually that video was in October 24, 2005 , but he was shooting Jessie James in Canada so he couldn’t leave. But you are right I love that one I am going to post it a gain in case some folks haven’t seen it. Remember they went to pick up Z together july 2005 in Ethiopia, they came back and Z was hospitilized in NY in care of the Dr. Aronson in the video. Brad went to LA was hospitilized since he had a mild case of meningitis and after both were out and healthy Angie and the kids moved in with Brad. So Brad has been with Z from day one and met Madd on the set of MAMS when he was 21/2, what I am getting at is Brad is the only Dad they ever had and it will be for the rest of their lives…. If you haven’t watched the video go to the following linka and scroll down to Oct/24/2005 and click on “Click here to see a video of the gala”.

Estelle, the town-crier where have you been? Yep, I was in the mood today, plus by now I know the thread is clean towards the end :-) OK, I am ready for my first glass of Berringer salute everyone, lets TRY (I know its not easy) to ignore the trolls and have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Thanks for a link to the full clip Jared. I noticed that they were focusing on the actors hands. Brad did seem to fiddle with his right finger with the ring on it a lot.

to #50.. the country I am from, they were, wedding bands on the right and engagement rings!! I wouldn’t be surprised if they got the idea from the countries that they have visited and loved over the course of their travels!!

54 ntt Says: Can’t you just see it? :-) Rome, 1400’s to 1500’s, during the time of Pope Alexander VI, big drama and costumes, and a young ingenue as Sancha of Aragon. Maybe not as meaningful as some of the work they are doing these days, but fabulous nonetheless.

Susie - that’s it then. Should be good!

I like how this short film by Jake Paltrow was shot - very dramatic - and the shots where they aren’t actually speaking that are juxtaposed against their words are fascinating. Brad looks yummy as usual and so sweet/sad how he sort of tears up at the end. Chips all intact -lol. And nice to see Leo speaking candidly - he seems less guarded than in some interviews.

Angelina’s Children’s Charity Still MIA

Nearly 17 months after the orphan-rescuing actress-slash-UN envoy announced a deal to create a new children’s charity with St. John, the project in question is still little more than a kindly notion. Nobody would call Angelina Jolie uncharitable, but somehow her good deeds never seem to keep pace with her promises.

In September 2005, luxury apparel maker St. John hired Jolie as its new spokesmodel. As part of the arrangement, the company agreed to create a foundation benefiting children’s causes, which Jolie was to oversee. Though no timetable was set, a St. John spokeswoman assured Radar in September that an announcement about the fund’s structure and beneficiaries would be announced “definitely before the end of the year.”

Last week, however, that same spokeswoman said, “The charity hasn’t been formed yet at all.” After promising to look into the matter, she never called back. Nor did Jolie’s manager, Geyer Kosinski.

Of course, Jolie has had a busy year and a half, starring in The Good Shepherd and the upcoming A Mighty Heart, about murdered journalist Daniel Pearl, along with giving birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, her daughter with pseudo-husband, Brad Pitt.

Maybe she needs a little prodding to remind her of her commitments? After all, it worked last time.

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2007/02/angelinas-childrens-charity-still-mia.php

59 the real tita Says: Thanks for the info. - I’m looking forward to it even more now, even though it is a sad story. I actually get the impression that ‘A Mighty Heart’ focuses a lot on Marianne’s ordeal in trying to get Daniel back after he is kidnapped by the Jihadi. I don’t expect it to be a ‘feel good movie’, that’s for sure, but I predict that the ending may focus on the birth of the baby (not sure if boy/girl) as that is always a bittersweet moment when one has lost a spouse/partner.

Guli - doing well - hope you’re enjoying your Beringer! A good sign that you must be feeling better. I may have to step out and get some vino myself ;-) I noticed you mentioned Brad filming in Canada (TAOJJ). My cousin and her husband, who is an architect/engineer/land developer live in Calgary and rented out one of their condos to some of the film crew of TAOJJ, but alas, no Brad and Angelina sightings :-(

JoliePitt Says: Very welcome - didn’t mean to muddy the waters! The threads are a lot to keep up on and I miss a lot too! I was gone for a couple of weeks when my sweetie was in town and I feel like I missed 2 months worth.

well test aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine…
Not too much going on today for you?

Nope so I thought i’d come here and share some sunshine!

Guli,
I must already be drunk, LOL. for some odd reason, I thought there was a party tonight. Oh well, The 27th is not that far away, I guess I can wait till then. Heh, no matter how drunk you are, you can never sound like a troll . LOL

I think you’ll find that the difference between your precious X and Brad and Angelina is that Brad and Angelina have made a concerted effort TO QUIT smoking - because THEY HAVE CHILDREN AROUND. Yes, there have been some pictures of Brad smoking recently - however considering the incredible strain they have been under lately I don’t blame Brad - and I am confident he doesn’t light up around the children. As someone who smoked for 12 years and has quit for 9 I know how hard of a battle it is though for anyone. Nice try though jack ass.

Hey there! So nice to see you back :-) I agree with you - I can’t see them picking a film like this right now either - more of a nice fantasy than anything - lol. How have you been?

Film adaptations of books often differ in thier focus so I suppose we can’t tell yet but I just wanted to add that I found the book of A Mighty Heart very inspiring and uplifting. Of course the story is immensly sad and yes I did cry at parts of it but the overall impression I was left with was one of hope for the human race. This is due I think to Mariannes personality and sheer force of spirit and love for life and people and I imagine that that’s what will come through the film version, not least because that’s what Angelina is like herself. There’s a lot of detail about not just what happened and how it affected Mariane at that time but also the world reaction to Daniels kidnapping. It’s also a beautiful love story, I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Wasn’t this radaronline the same website that tried to smear Brad and Angelina by saying that their Namibian donations were never made, and yet Lainey actually made contact with the Namibians who said that the donations were actually done? And yet radaronline never made a retraction?

Why is it that those who spend their time and money on charitable works are the most maligned? Maybe Angelina should just be like Kate and Posh, patron saints of the shopping malls … and forget all the sick and starving refugees in the world.

Go away before I bring you article on your Idol x,it seems it the only way that makes you run away from BA thread

“Of course, Jolie has had a busy year and a half, starring in The Good Shepherd and the upcoming A Mighty Heart, about murdered journalist Daniel Pearl, along with giving birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, her daughter with pseudo-husband, Brad Pitt.” We can now add to that the death of her MOTHER.

“…its launch was put on hold. “It’s still in the developmental stages,” says a **. John spokesperson. “We haven’t decided whether it will be devoted to one cause or to several.”

All you’ve proven is that your reading comprehension skills are limited. Brad and Angelina have very full lives and I have no doubt that they will live up to their commitments on THEIR timeline, and not YOURS. Vamos!

Angelina does not smoke only in movies pretending.I think she wiil need to light that cigarette first dont you think.

You are so desparate. that st johns article is from way back that is why you didn’t put the date and it was adressed then.The one about the money from Shiloh’s pics was adressed again.You can look it up,you will see the books and the teachers who got their salaries because of Shiloh.As for the hospital equipment,I think they have bought it by now.

Someone tried that one a couple of months ago and since they cant get any pics they are repeating their so called stories now go away and try again.THE FACT IS BRAD IS WITH ANGELINA.GO AND ASK _BECAUSE BRAD TOLD HER HOW HE FELT.BRAD said if you want to make him the bad guy he will be the bad guy,so do you think he cares what you think.

Sheri- Unfortunately we both posted something to “It”. No more. RRFYL

Yes susie, just look at how many Responses i’ve gotten!!!!! Your just proving my point!

Estelle, what is so funny is we hit them with legit articles not from rags and best of all interviews like hearing really from them, since the haters have no way of responding back they try to dig up crud from where ever they can. So I can do that too, hi ya haters do you remember when, chin was asked, Brad says “he wants seven kids” her response “oh my, he better find a mail order bride I’ll give him one or two the rest is up to him” you want the link to that I have it!!!! BUT, since its not from People or a reputable rag I just laugh about it…

Estelle you are absolutely correct tap water is too good for the haters, they can flush the toilet instead :lol:

Susie—thats a good one ___ TRYING to play M.Pearl and in India mind you, what about her nails, her hair extensions, Norman, CC and the circle of friends all the rags that she is dying to give more info re her new nose and boos. Nope, I can’t imagine…

OK, lets plug along with the IMAGINE theme…

Can you imagine ___ flying an airplane :lol:
Can you imagine ___ riding a motorcycle :lol:
Can you imagine ___ jumping off the top of a roof 280 feet doing her own stunt :lol:

Since you obviously like Radar Online and Poor Jen so much here’s an article that should really interest you.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

we are one in the same [ritzy]

I cant believe people are actually paying [Quiz] any attention.

Celeb Press Calls Bullshit on ‘Poor Jen’

For someone who claims her breakup is an invention of the tabloids, Jennifer Aniston hasn’t been trying very hard to prove them wrong. The former Friends star has been out and about lately, turning up at a Glamour magazine event in Los Angeles last week and performing in a charity theater festival in New York, but her failure to appear in the company of Vince Vaughn, or even in the same area code, has many convinced the relationship is being propped up for PR purposes.

According to one source with contacts in the Aniston camp, the actress’s handlers fear it would damage her market value to have her seen as a two-time dumpee. “Keeping this ‘relationship’ on the map is a face-saving maneuver,” says the source. “The ‘Poor Jen’ headlines are something she despises, and she’s desperate to avoid another round of it.”

A well-informed tabloid editor puts it more bluntly: “She doesn’t want to be seen as a loser.”

But while Aniston may be selling the happy-couple narrative, the entertainment press, having played along with too many of her past charades, isn’t buying. Us Weekly is leading the charge, with a running timer on its home page tracking, to the second, how long it’s been since Aniston and Vaughn were last seen together. Over the summer, Aniston pooh-poohed an Us report that she and Vaughn were engaged; Us retaliated with a list of all the times her rep, Stephen Huvane, had been caught lying on her behalf.

It would help Aniston’s credibility if she and Vaughn had ever bothered to confirm their couplehood before the reports of their split began to appear. Aniston’s Oct. 16 Oprah appearance, when she tepidly denied there had been a breakup, was her first public acknowledgement of the romance. “They would never talk about the relationship when they were actually having one,” says a skeptic. “Now that they’re not having a relationship, they’re going out of their way to talk about it. It’s perverse.”

Convincing the doubters may require extreme measures. Yesterday afternoon, as Aniston prepared to leave New York, one source told Radar she was believed to be headed for London, where Vaughn has been filming Fred Claus. Huvane declined to confirm or deny that, saying, “I don’t think Jennifer’s personal travel plans or wherabouts are anyone’s business but her own.”

But even a well-executed photo op would fail to persuade most professional celebrity watchers at this point. Says one, “Jennifer Aniston is sort of Clinton-esque in her choice of words. She parses them so that they’re technically accurate, but she’s a well-known liar

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2006/10/celebrity-press-corps-calls-bullshit-on-poor-jen.php

Lol–am a litigator but we do corporate litigation sometimes so I dabble in Corporate Law as needed :) Yes unless there’s a court deadline, things will be put on the backburner so that more pressing issues can be handled.

Oops my post at #137 was for coalharbourqt

Vince V cheated on Jen nose.She must be so useless.I like the way VV used her.He gave a part in a movie and ended up in bed with her after the movie he was done with her.The sex must have been really bad and that nude scene in the Break up,the girl need to take some classes that was so not sexy.

Guli- The hair, nails, blender for the margaritas I wasn’t thinking of. Good point though. I was imagining her doing her Rachel acting, if you want to call it acting, from Friends.

Considering the date on this article: Sept 2006, I would say it’s more than just a couple of million unnaccounted for. Did the donations from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation make it to their respective destinations, or were they merely announced as donations? You see, by posting a dated article and passing it off as today’s news, it appears that 2 million of the 4.1 million is accounted for, but my question remains, did the funds make it to their destination? Or do they merely reside in the account of the Jolie/Pitt Foundation?

Inquiring minds want to KNOW!!!

Trip down memory lane. Entertainment Weekly Interview with Doug Liman

Dodging Bullets: The tabloid drama behind ”Mr. & Mrs. Smith” — We talk to director Doug Liman about Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and sexiness under fire

By Steve Daly

Are they a couple? If they are, did that happen during or after the time they spent making a movie together? And if it is true or was true or might be true, how long will they last?

These are the nosy, rude, intrusive, unfair, wildly speculative, and completely titillating watercooler questions that an ever-widening global mob of gossips has been asking about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ever since they started filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith , a $120 million spy-versus-spousal-spy spectacle that finally opens, on June 10, after a long and bumpy road to final cut. It’s not the first time news of a much-rumored big-movie romance has gone supernova. But what’s now being branded the saga of ”Brangelina” sets a new, 21st-century benchmark — a sort of perfect publicity storm centered on two beautiful people whom the public is treating as daydream playthings, to the chagrin of at least one player among Mr. & Mrs. Smith ’s creative team.

”I don’t like the exploitation of personal lives in tabloids,” says Akiva Goldsman, an Oscar winner for A Beautiful Mind (Best Adapted Screenplay) and one of five main producers on Smith . ”I think it’s grim. I don’t think it helps anybody. Do I think it helps or hurts the movie? I think it’s irrelevant. Do I think it hurts the people involved? Sure.”

In a business where marriages, divorces, and passing flings are anxiously evaluated as career moves, exactly what is or isn’t true about Pitt and Jolie’s alleged connection may never be clear. The costars, as well as Pitt’s soon-to-be-ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, have made occasional pronouncements in the midst of the media carnival, none of them terribly revealing. (Pitt and Jolie declined to be interviewed for this article, though Jolie did tell EW earlier this year that while acting out the marital travails of her character, she drew on life experiences with two ex-husbands, Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton: ”For me, it was a lot of thinking about old relationships I had — marriages I had — and thinking, Oh, that’s the point where I wanted to kill that person.”)

But another key player in the maelstrom did agree to talk to us at length: director Doug Liman, an outspoken fellow who’s lately scored in TV (he directed the first two episodes of The O.C. ) but who made his name with the indie movies Swingers and Go , before stepping up to summer-blockbuster territory with The Bourne Identity . We caught up with Liman — just days after he previewed the finished film for audiences in New York and L.A. — for a freewheeling talk about early casting hiccups, the perils of confessing cute nicknames, the nesting instincts of Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie’s way with knives.

EW What’s it like directing two of the world’s biggest tabloid attention magnets?

DOUG LIMAN There were always paparazzi. Crazy paparazzi. One of my producers, Lucas Foster, made it his mission to keep them away [from outside locations]. I’d be getting ready to shoot, and there’d be a crane where I’m pointing the camera. I’d be like, Who put that there? Lucas would say, ”I’m not moving that crane. There’s photographers in that hotel room up there, and I’m blocking them.” It became a constant thing of, we’re going to have to paint it out [with CG erasure tricks]. Ten grand a shot.

EW Did it escalate this past spring, when Jennifer Aniston filed for divorce from Pitt right around the time you were doing some reshoots?

DL They followed Brad the first day. Somebody said, That’s Brad arriving. We heard the helicopter before we heard him — a helicopter that had been following him since he left the Beverly Hills Hotel. That was taking it up to a new level. We were told that a photo of the two of them together would be worth $300,000. So we were all like, Hmmmm! I tell ya, I had to think twice about that one. [Then they] were using a scanner to listen to our walkie-talkies. And one of the PAs got yelled at because he said something that could have been misinterpreted. We were shooting in the supermarket-shelf section of an IKEA-type store, and [Pitt and Jolie] were like, you know, fiddling around with the paddle balls or something. What actors do between takes. And a PA said, ”Brad is ******** around with Angie.” They’re like, Look, you’ve got to be careful how you speak if you’re going to say something over the radio about them. On this movie, saying someone was ‘’******** around” would have a different context.

EW What about speculation that the publicity could hurt your movie, the way it hurt, say, Proof of Life when Meg Ryan separated from Dennis Quaid after allegedly having an affair with Russell Crowe?

DL You can sit there and blame it on Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe. [But]you know, Proof of Life is just not that good a movie. There’s a fundamental flaw, which is that it’s yucky to have a love story when the [Meg Ryan character's] husband is in a cage, and could be killed. It’s not appealing.

EW A number of other directors — John Woo, David Fincher, Michael Mann, Guy Ritchie — circled around this picture, and anybody who committed had to meet with Pitt’s approval. How did it get on your radar screen?

DL My agent called me [circa fall 2002] and said, I’m sending you a script. Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman are attached to star. The script wasn’t perfect for me, but I had a really strong point of view on the material, and that’s what I look for.

EW You had Nicole Kidman attached — but then she started filming The Stepford Wives in late spring 2003.

DL On their first week of shooting, they were like, We’re [already] two and a half months behind schedule. [Laughter] And that’s the day we were like, She can’t do our movie. Which really broke my heart, ’cause I knew what was going to happen next: We were gonna lose Brad. And at some point during that process, sure enough, he did say, I’m passing. I was actually out to dinner with my family at some Chinese restaurant [when Pitt bowed out]. I had to face my family and say, The film just fell apart.

EW So offers went out to Johnny Depp and Will Smith.

DL There were some of us who liked one of them a lot more than the other, and some of us in the camp who liked the other one more. I won’t get anyone in trouble, but the end result is we ended up pursuing both. Then Brad changed his mind and said, I’m interested again. David Fincher [who directed Pitt in Fight Club for Regency, the company that financed Mr. & Mrs. Smith ] explained to me, Get used to it. That’s just the nature of the beast making a movie with Brad Pitt.

EW Did you ever think of trying to cast an actual married couple, the way Stanley Kubrick did with Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut ?

DL No, but I had been interested in casting Gwyneth Paltrow opposite Brad Pitt. Because they’re really exes. Think of the spectacle of that. Fireworks could really fly in that situation. Because I’m sure there’s some s— one of them was mad at the other one for. You find out what that baggage is and bring it out at the right moment, with the camera rolling. My producers were like, Look, that’s a great idea. But Brad is a human being. Even if he was game for it, it’s wrong for us to put him in a situation where he’s going to have to relive the demons of a relationship. That’s just a little bit too mad-scientist.

EW So after you lost Nicole and gave up on the Gwyneth idea, who’d you consider before you got to Angelina?

DL We really liked Cate Blanchett. Around that time, she’d come out with a [magazine-ad] photo spread where she looked like a spy. But she wasn’t available — she was doing The Aviator . Somehow Catherine Zeta-Jones’ name came up, but there wasn’t a lot of unanimity about casting her, as there was about Angelina Jolie.

EW You wound up starting on Smith in January 2004, knowing that you would lose Brad Pitt at the end of April to Ocean’s Twelve — an awfully tight fit, which you didn’t make. You had to regroup in fall 2004 and then do more shooting in March 2005 for a summer release — plus one last day in April where you filmed your third try at an ending, and it stuck. Are you slow, or is somebody a bad planner, or is that just life on a big-budget movie with busy stars?

DL The first day of my shoot, we were still arguing about the [initial]stop date. They were going to not let us start shooting the movie until the stop date situation was worked out. We started shooting and it wasn’t worked out at all. And sure enough [by April] it was like, No, he really is leaving.

EW Didn’t people foresee that? A Regency rep says you did — that you knew you’d have to stop and then start again. But it sounds like a game of chicken.

DL I was like, There’s no way [Steven Soderbergh] is going to start [ Ocean's Twelve ] on time. He doesn’t have a script yet. And movies of that scale just don’t start on time.

EW That is so bizarre — because basically the same thing happened to you previously with Matt Damon on The Bourne Identity : He had to drop out for a while to film Ocean’s Eleven .

DL For the second time in a row, I bet against Steven Soderbergh.

EW For all the headaches, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is remarkably consistent in tone. It has action-movie violence, but it’s played almost as comedy — though not quite. How hard was it to get that?

DL Simon Kinberg’s script was actually funnier. There was a moment I loved in the script where she grabs his golf trophy. And she’s going to club him over the head with it and he says, No! Don’t! I’m only the custodian of that for the year! [But] it was a little too goofy for Brad and Angie.

EW Meaning they just wouldn’t film it?

DL It’s always a tricky dance with those two. I mean, [Pitt] picked me. But that didn’t mean he was going to relinquish all control. And he’s not wrong for that. I think these movie stars become movie stars because they get very involved. They’re not just pawns.

EW Is it intimidating working for the first time with such major stars? It must be like being in high school and getting invited to sit at the Heathers table to eat lunch.

DL The key is to not be intimidated, because then you really would make a bad movie. But it is like the Heathers table.

EW Did the ”Brangelina” stories affect the editing of Mr. & Mrs. Smith ? There were reports that a sex scene between Brad and Angelina got trimmed — but that’s apparently untrue: The scene is in the movie, after they have a huge fight trying to kill each other.

DL I did have a really frank conversation with Dave Matalon [who runs Regency], when we were mixing the movie, about what kind of music would be on the sex scene. I wanted Joe Strummer singing ”Mondo Bongo,” which is a little tribal and for me very sexy. Dave said, Look, I’m honestly worried about the Jennifer Aniston fans out there. I don’t want to lose that little niche audience of people who are huge Jennifer Aniston fans who are going to hate Angelina Jolie if the sex scene is too sexy. People will see the sex scene and say, Oh, that’s how Angie did it. It’ll be like, She used her wiles to seduce him. I would rather you put something sweeter musically over the sex scene. I’m not telling you it’s better, I’m. . .telling you where I’m coming from.

EW How did you manage to keep the steamier music?

DL Luckily I had a bunch of women on my sound crew who came to my defense and helped win him over. I ultimately prevailed.

EW What about actually filming that scene?

DL It was awkward for me, coming from a relatively uptight family. To break the ice, I thought I would use one of those techniques where you talk about something embarrassing about yourself, and it’s a big bonding experience. It wasn’t that well thought-out, but somehow it came out that I had an ex-girlfriend who’d given me the nickname Bunny. And I said, I’m sure, Angie, that you’ve had cute names like that for your boyfriends. And Brad, I’m sure you’ve had girlfriends who called you, y’know, Little Mushroom or Walnut or My Little Scrubby-Wubby. I honestly thought everybody does this. And they were like, ”. . .Uh, no.” So I was left there, naked. It wasn’t a bonding experience at all. I lost all sexual credibility with Angie on the spot. She called me Bunny from then on. She never let me forget. They were both like, You’re so not qualified to pass judgment on positions we might be in [for the scene]. You’re the guy whose girlfriend called you Bunny.

EW People keep calling it ”the sex scene,” but it’s not like they lie down in a bed. They’re standing up kissing and grinding against each other. It’s not like they simulate the actual deed.

DL Well, the movie’s PG-13.

EW When the cameras actually rolled, was it as awkward for your costars as it seems to have been for you?

DL They were pretty comfortable with it. I mean, I think Brad and I were more uncomfortable, ’cause she’s such a force to be reckoned with. Occasionally she’d make a comment and both of us would be like, Whoa!

EW A comment like what?

DL She’s just very — she likes to be shocking sexually. Just read any interview she’s given. She likes to be that person in the room who’s least embarrassed, and willing to put it out there. Eventually, to try to recover from the Bunny thing, I suggested [she should perform] the most graphic, crazy sex act I could imagine [for the love scene]. Just to try to shock her. Like, 10 steps beyond anything I’d consider doing in my own life. She starts furrowing her eyebrows and I’m like, Oh, never heard of that one? Guess Bunny’s not that sheltered! And she’s like, No, actually, I’m just trying to figure out whether I’ve done that one.

EW How did Brad and Angelina influence each other’s acting?

DL She in the movie is playing the way Brad is in real life, and vice versa. I mean, he really is a homemaker. He’s into fabrics and art and architecture and what color is on the wall, is it eggshell or ecru? But for Angie, bringing her into that suburban home and trying to sit [her]down at the dinner table? I might as well have asked her to simulate being on a spacecraft. She had no point of reference at all, from her own life, of what a normal home would be like. And she’s much more into weapons, as a human being, than Brad is. Any time my prop guy did show-and-tells of knives and guns, she’d be very, very knowledgeable. I’m looking at them wondering if they look cool, and she’s asking, Does this also come with a serrated blade? And which particular kind of hook, once you stick it into somebody, is good for ripping their flesh on the way out? Details I wouldn’t even know existed.

EW This movie’s very much like a James Bond picture at times. Would you ever want to take on directing an actual James Bond movie?

DL I think the Broccolis have a specific formula for James Bond where they don’t want it to be too original. That’s what I’ve been told. They want them to be just like the ones that came before. They don’t see anything broken with the series. And in some ways, it’s not broken, right? They still do huge business. We come away a little disappointed, but we still go to them. So they may not be wrong. But if they were like, Okay, time to freshen it up, I’d love to.

EW You tried building an ending to Mr. & Mrs. Smith around the couple defeating two villains — initially played by Jacqueline Bisset and Terence Stamp, then recast with Angela Bassett and Keith David. You basically cut those characters out. Why?

DL It was important to not give it that resolution. Because if you think about a relationship, there is no point at which you suddenly defeat the forces of antagonism. It’s not like, Oh, we got married, we’re finished having to fight for the relationship. Or, We celebrated our fifth anniversary, now it’s easy. It’s never easy. It takes work every day. People assume the rich and famous have it easy. Actually, as evidenced by recent events, it’s no easier for Brad Pitt to maintain a marriage than it is for, you know, the neighbors on three. People assume because he [flies in] private jets and has huge mansions that life must be great inside those. It doesn’t get easier just because you’re an international assassin. And it doesn’t get easier because you’re Brad Pitt.

every man Aniston is with Cheats on her. Vince has even turned to Orgies with men. What is wrong with Aniston?

Ok, your in charge of lyrics!

to where’s the proof -

A private foundation is a non profit organization which falls under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue code.

Every non profit organization has to file a tax return annually detailing all the revenue, earnings and expenses. The reporting of the accounting on the tax return is very similar to the reporting of a corporate tax return. The only difference is the tax treatment of income.

So, the JoliePitt foundation, has to file a tax return, giving the accounting of income and expenses, etc. Since the 4M you are talking about is a high profile transaction, the IRS is not that dumb as not to examine the tax return carefully. In other words, IRS is the watchdog. There is no “monkeying” around on that.

If you dont know enough about fund accounting, you should read up on it. On the tax return, you have to list the expense. Expenses have to be legitimate, and not every expense is deductible.

If the money is sitting in the bank account of the foundation, that money belongs to the foundation. It is NOT personal money of Angie/Brad.

All the money in the foundation has to be used for non-profit purposes. If you deviate from that, you can LOSE THAT NON PROFIT STATUS.

Sheri- I had to resend it.

ntt- what is the voting day?

Susie,
Just got them! What beautiful children! Can I have one?! Only kidding, you did a wonderful job! they are amazing! From the looks of them you they look like they are all boy! I want, not going to use the his name here, the green pj’s they are so cute!

Estelle and hunnybunny, thanks! Manties are real :) I’m glad you liked it.

Off-topic: There is at least some justice in this world because Bill O’Reilly has been dropped from a fund raising event for the Naples, FL chapter of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. After receiving e-mails and presumably phone calls about BOR’s insensitive remarks about Shawn Hornbeck having “fun” during his four year captivity (we now know that he was raped numerous times). John Walsh will now now be the keynote speaker at the fund raising event.

Sheri- Thank you, people always love alexander. They are both all boys, they spend the day out in the yard most of the time. I was going to post my e-mail for CH but the psycho is sitll here.

More sad pictures of him in 2002:
http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t17/utesting123456/?action=view&current=out02_036m.jpg

http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t17/utesting123456/?action=view&current=out02_039c.jpg

The bearded pics of Brad were due to his growing a beard for The Fountain, his skin is sensitive and he hates wearing makeup glue, so he was growing a beard which he grew out for months. Much like Tom Hanks did for Castaway.

He dropped out in 2002, hence the shaving off of and starting to train for Troy.

Then, something changed in and around the end of August 2002:
http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t17/utesting123456/?action=view&current=out02_041a.jpg

The pic at the Emmy’s where you say he didn’t look happy. That was actually during a skit with Conan that Brad participated in. Conan was flirting with Aniston. And it wasn’t the Emmy’s that she forgot to thank him, it was the Golden Globes in 2003. The same month her W interview came out where she said he wasn’t the love of her life. He was a big in love in her life, but, not the love of her life.

He didn’t look happy about that error:
http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t17/utesting123456/?action=view&current=out02_020ww.jpg

I’m not an Aniston fan by any means, nor have I ever been. Like I said, I’m a Brad fan for years. Just don’t want to be accused of showing so-called ‘facts’ without the story behind said pics.

Penelope Cruz is on Tavis Smiley. She is so articulate and so fluent in English. Beautiful woman.

Like I said, quite a progression (so many more pictures on that site), but what I’ve noticed is that he may hold her or lead her but he doesn’t look affectionately at her eyes unlike her (she really did worship him). Sad…

+++++++++++

I would agree the way Brad look at Angie was totally different from the way he look at Chinnifer, remember the picture at the Italian balcony while filming MMSmith, Brad was so smitten. He never had that look on Chinnifer. and the recent red carpet with Angie, from TGS to recent GG. With Chinnifer, it’s more like a duty of a husband, especially in the last 2 years of their marriage. He really look bored.
She worship him ? she love herself more than anything. if not why did she defer motherhood? while those red carpet picture of her looking adoringly over Brad was just an act, we almost forget she was an actress. they were supposed to be the ” Golden couple ” of HW, with hundred of photographers taking their picture, of course , they have to act like that.

June, ITA.

Jennifer may not be much of an actress, but she is good enough to play the adoring wife in front of the cameras. Of course, many women know how to play that role in the public.

Never mind the children June. the reality was, she had to force herself to visit her husband in Malta. Again, don’t give me crap about how she is afraid of flying. If She can fly to London for her work, you’d think she can fly to Malta because she misses her husband. But of course, she didnt miss her husband, he wasn’t on her mind enough for her to miss him enough to make the effort to fly first class to Malta in easy stages just like he wasn’t on her mind enough for her to thank him in the awards ceremony.

Some people have written that when they heard that Jennifer forgot to thank Brad at the awards, they knew the marriage was in trouble. It seems like a small omission but when you are in a high pressure/stress situation, receiving a much longed for award in public, you remember to thank the people who are important to you and present on your mind. Brad wasn’t obviously very present on Jennifer’s that night and other nights too.

He didn’t look happy about that error:

=====

woah is that the actual face he made when he didn’t get thanked?

well, angelina LOOKED happier with Bbt and talked with more passion when talking about him. With Brad there seems to be a distant vibe coming from her..she pulled her arm away from him a couple times on the GG red carpet. Its like she wanted to have fun good time with him, but then it all snowballed into BRANGELINA and 3 kids. who woulda guessed BP would want to be so serious just after a divorce? not ange thats 4 sure. I think she’s trying not to get bored but she can’t help it.

I never noticed how really good-looking Brad Pitt is until he and Angie got together.
I have since watched some of his movies. I enjoyed “A River Runs Through It”
“Legends of the Fall” , “Seven” and of course “MAMS”. They were gorgeous together at the premiere of “The Good Shepherd” and the “Golden Globes”. Their
relationship however is about much more than “red carpet events” and movies, drinking and smoking, girl friends and big-head talk show host. They have family
and that is most important. Together, they are most awesome.

Good morning whoever may be on! Susie celestial teas has sleepy time tea, give it a try. Makes me sleep like a baby! There is nothing worse than no being able to sleep! guli I answered your email, coalharbourqt, Jared sent your email address I’ll be in touch later in the day. Right now I’m making turkey chili! Just what I want to be doing at 8am! Not! I’ll be on this evening ladies, hope to see you!

Brad or Angie is down-to-earth people. They are not ideal creature living in someone’s head.
Brad trusted GP and was betrayed by her.
He trusted Chin, got married, gave her movie roles and back-stubbed by her.
He trusted Angie. This time, she is the woman of heart.
BINGO! They started to make family.
Angie comfirmed they are going to expand their family.
This is the life of human being. The way your mommy and daddy lived and gave a precious life to you.

__________________________
I agree with you.

The very fact that both risked their careers and their reputations says it all.

Brad does not need to go and jump on Oprah’s couch. That will be yuck!!

He has shown it all with his actions.

I really like the way they handle their affection for each other. They don’t need to go and shout it from the mountain top. That will sound too superficial.

They are doing it just right. It shows they are two very matured and smart people. They don’t have to go blabbering around everywhere about their love for each other. Definitely not!!!

think positive, those pictures were lovely and revealing in a very subtle way.

I think what’s so compelling about this relationship is that they’re NOT proclaiming their love from the rooftops (as both have done in previous relationships). But the love, real friendship and understanding are plainly there for all to see.

You can see it in her eyes in the first Shiloh pictures, when the baby is lying next to Angie and she’s looking at Brad. And whenever they’re on the red carpet, Brad looks like he can’t concentrate unless he knows where she is. Even the way, when he was asked if she got any more beautiful and he replied “Yes, she does”. The expression on his face was like “And those moments are for me, buddy!”
And what about his “Down boy, down”? He’s attentive, protective, and enjoys showing everyone that this is HIS woman.

I see a real difference from the days when Angelina was hanging off of Billy Bob. I’m not saying she didn’t love him, but when she holds on to Brad it’s no longer “I like to get my freak on with my husband” and more honest and affection and TRUST.

They are most definitely into each other - figuratively and literally :)

pitt impressions has added a couple of pics from past events.It looks like Angelina has got a locket.i think its new and she and Nicole kidman had a good time at the premiere.

Sheri- thanks for the tea tip, I have been falling asleep really early this week than waking up between 2 and 3am. I went back to sleep though. :)

Good morning everyone. I just read an article on People’s website about Kyle Minogue. I don’t really know her, but after reading the article, I start to like her. Will paste it here. BRB.

I’ve just seen some pics of Angie, picking up Mad from school yesterday afternoon, she seems very sad…

bdj says:

AJ is one woman simply trying to live her life and help others. All these so called critics are doing is making her larger than life. No other actress gets the amount of coverage that AJ does. They want her to go back to the self destructive AJ of her early twenties, not a woman that has received the highest humanitarian honor. Tabloids want to splash her on their covers hoping that she has a scandal filled tragic end such as Anna Nicole Smith. However, AJ will not play their game, so they are forced to try and undermine her humanitarian and charitable efforts. They bring up past relationships and antics and say, “this is the AJ we want”, not the loving wife and mother of 3 children. The media and critics do not want you to grow and evolve as a decent human being. They want the Paris Hiltons, Lindsay Lohans and Britney Spears so they can laugh at them and feel good about their lives.
AJ forces people to think and react. She has caused a generation of celebrities to get involved in various charitable endeavors and to fight for various causes. AJ should be admired. However, in the media and blogs, they only want scandal and to bring people down.
BP and AJ are living lives on their own terms. They have out-witted the paps and tabs on numerous occasions and the tabs are left to try to defame their character, particularly AJ.
The fact is AJ is not a self-centered whiny creature that only cares about her career, her public image or wanting the tabs to write only good things about her. She is open and candid, fearless and not afraid to be her own person. Love or hate her. The fact is she is not a woman to be ignored. (as we see on this blog with the fake fans, obsessed haters and just plain nutjobs). I wish BAMZS all the best.

Right on bdj! You nailed it! So true to the last drop!

Thank you for that I was about to say it.

She lost her mother tow weeks ago. I didn’t expect her to have a big smile on her face like a fool. She is well enough to go and pick up Maddox from school by her own and she is well enough to go to Austin to shoot a scene of the “A mighty Heart” this past Tuesday. She is simply going on with her life like any other person who lost a loved one. And I’m very happy to see that.

Stop acting like you saw a woman crying or hurting her self. She went to pick her kid from school. As simple as that. Stop creating drama where there isn’t any. Geez!!

And the necklace she is wearing is the one Brad wore few months ago.

I guess I’m the only noticed Angie roughly pull her arm away from Brad @ the GG. of course she has to put on a fake smile and say things that makes THINK POSITIVE and the other Romantics think Brad is it for her, but she didn’t say he was it for her because she has already said that about one of her exes. she wanted to REMARRY her first hubby at one time and has said that BBT was the love of her life , she even spoke well of her lovers when she had some. She won’t marry Brad? HeLLO!
====================================================
SO WTF IS YOUR POINT? You’re harping at an imaginary instance when Angie pulled her arm away and denying the pictures with smiles that Think Positive and others have posted. Fine, fine, you think she is not happy with him. But still, they are together now, so WTF IS YOUR POINT NOW? You think they are not happy, fine that is your opinion. You think that she is going to go back to BBT and JLM? She could have gone back to either of them before she got on with Brad, she was single for a very long time.

Oh, I am tired of you already. JUST SHUT THE F*** UP! You won’t be convincing any true BAMZSers here — go to FF, dlisted or Perez. Those haters will welcome you with open arms!!! SHEESH!!!!

Honey if she wanted to be with any of her exes she could have been with them instead. Nobody putted a gun in her head. But instead she chose to be with Brad and he is the only man she let to get seriously involved with her kids and plus she gave birth to his very own baby. And that speaks volumes.

Angie is not a fake person who she will force a fake smile just for the cameras. She was never that way. She neither manipulative nor fake. If she wants to smile she will. If she doesn’t she won’t. Just because your idol is acting that way it doesn’t mean that everybody is acting the same. Angie is truthful and genuine person. And the things you mentioned that she said were YEARS ago. I’m not hearing her saying the same things now. People are changing you know.

Did you see my post with Angie’s quotes about Brad?? I will repeat just one of them.

“I’m very, very lucky. I love all the different elements of my life. I love working abroad, and I love being with my kids, and I love being with Brad. This is the life I chose to have. And I’d like to add many more children and many more obstacles and many more things.”
