Brad & Angelina’s Vietnam Adoption

Brad & Angelina’s Vietnam Adoption

US Weekly is reporting that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have filed paperwork with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services to adopt a boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Maddox was born in Cambodia, Zahara was born in Ethiopia, and baby Shiloh was born in Namibia.

It’s sad… to a certain extent. Brad and Angelina would bring a definite charge to the proceedings but why should they? Hollywood was such a chicken$hit when it came to their union, currying the favor of the princesses’ primary representative, ___, who hasn’t contributed anything to motion pictures. Brad and Angelina are stars, but they also care about doing good works onscreen, nevermind what they do during their off-time. Their off-screen lives, getting together, having a family, extending themselves beyond their station, ie, supporting philanthropic projects, are the stuff that film are made of and yet, Brad and Angelina’s applications and execution of this were met with skepticism, snobbiness, and snide comments.

Let’s face it… Hollywood’s theme song should be ‘What Have You Done for Me Lately’ and for some reason, Hollywood perceived Brad and Angelina’s hookup, two years ago, as an affront to their bottom line; the princesses, with their paper crowns were pi$$ed, therefore, it would affect the bank. But what Hollywood failed to consider was whether the paper-crown princesses would go to a Babel or The Good Shepherd; my belief is no. These are the same people who felt that Brad should remain beholden to ___ twenty years from now and Hollywood followed their lead, until the GGs.

Brad and Angelina prettied up the red carpet, despite the concentration of prettiness in that square mile radius. HW resented it, resulting in Seacrest and E, piddling in their pants, and blaming Angelina for it; then the NY papers joined in, projecting their ingratitude onto Angelina’s actions. Then the truth came out… no apologies, just back-peddling and justifications. No acknowledgements of their incompetence and lack of professionalism, as if people would forget about it.

Brad and Angelina were expected to sprinkle gold dust all over Hollywood, just like that cheesy Can You Feel It? Jacksons video from the 70s or 80s, and for me, they did, but Hollywood resented the fact that they needed it and got it, with precious little effort from Brad and Angelina. They lacked the glassy-eyed desperation or psychotic intensity of a ___ or a Cruise, and for some reason, Hollywood needs that, instead of ease and comfort in one’s owns skin.

Well, Hollywood will get what it wants tonight… an army of Mr. and Mrs. Robotos, rattling off their designers, smiling incessantly, leaving every sign of contrary human emotion or sensation at home. Yippee!!!

Las Vegas odds for best picture:

“The Departed” 2-1 odds to win, while “Babel” was close behind at 5-2, followed by “The Queen” at 3-1 and “Little Miss Sunshine” at 4-1.

Thanks for the great and positive news about AJ admission to the Foreign Policy Group. It would be nice to have a new thread on positive information regarding AJ instead of the tabloid drivel. AJ is a great inspiration to many and has done great work with the UN. Some writers only want to focus on her past or her relationship with BP and not her humanitarian and UN accomplishments. It is good to know that people outside the tabloid world respect and admire BP and AJ. Thanks also for the new pictures from the commercial and the information about AJ being voted sexiest of all time. BP and AJ are at a personal and professional high and many critics try to tear them down. However, they just continue to live their lives, maintain their humanitarian work and take care of their family. You got to admire and respect that. Peace

Great post. Oh, tonight Hollywood and the audience can get all the fake stars. I won’t watch the Oscars, it’s too late for me, and without Brad and Angelina it’s just another boring show.

Congrats to Angelina! That’s real accomplishment, the tabloids simply have no clue what this woman is about. They are wrong and wrong again.

New Thread for Angie's Nomina @ 02/25/2007 at 11:08 am

NEW THREAD PLEASE!!!!!!

Hey piper, with a low:

I feel you in regards to the overblown silliness of the PR Media to try to subdue them under their thumbs with their threatening smear job. However, that is who I think is smearing them - the PR Media and the sellout newsmedias that prostituted themselves.

However, I believe Hollywood itself is very pro Brad and Angelina - thus, the positive comments from the cast of Heroes, to their friends that stopped by at their GG table like Maggie Gyllenhaal, Mark Wahlberg and Renee at the carpet. This is in addition to all the others like Queen Latifah, Anne Hathaway and Drew Barrymore.
Spielberg and Scorsese sent letters to the Producers Guild to argue Brad Grey and Brad Pitt’s inclusion into The Departed’s credits. Brad and Angie have very strong Hollywood circles around them - holding their back. I remember George Clooney putting himself out there against the media storm.
I think the PR media felt jilted and played by Pitt and Clooney with the whole marriage in Italy affair where they sent in teams of crew to Clooney’s villa. What a total embarassment to them. Pitt has been divorcing himself from tabbies and sensationalized media and Clooney and Pitt made sure to cut that cord the ugly way.
Thus, Pitt’s campaign to talk to only People as the lowest and the rest are foreign outlets and ‘legit’ news media like Newsweek and Time.

There are the conservative, old guard few that are afraid of shaking status quo - thus, the reaction of the Producers Guild to ultimately remove Plan B’s credit in The Departed. However, I think this is more to do with studio politics rather than Pitt’s public image. Warner still must not feel good about the whole Paramount jump.

So when I say I think they should have fun at the Oscars - good for the JoliePitts. Their peers would welcome this and enjoy their presence.
Oscars actually took an unprecedented push to have Grey and Pitt credited by leaving The Departed producer credits unstated all the way through announcements. However, Oscars respects the Producer’s Guild and in the end they succumbed to politics.

However, I do think Pitt was robbed in the Supporting Actor nom - if Judi Dench can get nominated for what - a one-liner in ‘Shakespeare in Love’ than he should as well for his part. Ohh, I still think ‘Shakespeare in Love’ was all Hollywood politics - that was totally overrated. How many more versions of Pride and Prejudice and Shakespeare do we have to see?? Come on, are we that poor in quality material that we have to import British themed repeats. Uhh.
Let’s get with the times!

PT: OMG - you forgot to start your recap with the NO FOOD OR DRINK WHILE READING WARNING. This sh*t just gets funnier and funnier.

Thank you for all your hard work to summarize the weekly rags. Many of us look forward to your report.

***NEW THREAD*** @ 02/25/2007 at 11:48 am

POST ON THE NEW TOPIC!

With all the complaints from Ellen and some media that Brad was stubbed, I think the academy voters have gotten the messages. Since they are good at correcting past mistakes (like tonight when they give Martin S the Oscar for directing), hopefully the members will remember this when Brad is up for another nomination.

Thanks Meli for the pics of Angelina. Also thanks to Jared for using one on a new thread.

Bless BAMZS

LOL now you know that you should not eat/drink while reading her segments jk :lol:

Oh come on now………I like Brad and all…..but please, stop collecting kids!

It´s another thing if you want to have a child, or if you want to save it.

Angies is feeling sorry for them…….it´s just not the same.

(I really wonder what their kids are gonna do when they get older)

(But on another note…..she should hurry the hell up and get pregnant again and deliver a mini Brad)

Good morning everyone!

Brad Pitt shouldn’t have departed “The Departed” to star in Babel. Smart guy, trying to keep his foot in the door! To bad it back-fired.:)

and it is official that is so cool.. Congratulation to the family. :)
