Brad is not a saint. He is more wild in many ways than people know.

That I do believe. It comes across in some of his movie roles. That’s why I never bought the “half of a golden couple routine” that he seemed sandwiched into by PR flacks and studio publicity. There was always something smoldering under his outer surface. I suspect that he may just be wilder in some ways than Angelina ever was, and she is probably reaping great enjoyment from exploring who he really is.

Yes Yes Yes .. I agree…
Brad has many layers that Lucky Angie gets to discover….

Rowan, freedom of speech does not entail hate speech. Please consider the context of your previous post in this light.

You are entitled to your opinion on “seeking for accolades therefore adopt children”, but one needs to remember that parents live with their children 24 hrs/day, not only during the time they are photographed, and they have to finance their children’s needs, schools, etc., even their children’s nannies and commit time. Currently, the cost of a baby until 18 year-old for families in the States is around $250k, that is the cost before college. An awfully a big price for “ad-only” little persons, no?

Or try this somewhat peculiar, but more simple, thought exercise: imagine adopting a pet which you do not like and whose needs are much less than a child, and consider living with and providing for this pet for the rest of your life because you believe that this pet provides some sort of status for you, an item for conspicuous consumption. Would you do it so that people would fawn over you? This is not to compare a pet with a child, but to provide you an example that rarely other people’s accolades enter into your decisions and choices about whom and what to include in your life –for good.

Good night/day/morning to all.

You have my wholehearted support for your impending adoption Brad & Angie. Bless your loving hearts & wish all the very best. And may you both continue your good deeds.

Love & prayers

Addendum to my previous post, 933:

The true cost of their children for Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt, in addition to financing their needs, includes the payments that they would have received if they had worked instead of taking care of their children. If Ms. Jolie declines a movie-offer paying her $10million, then the cost of their children to Jolie-Pitt family is whatever the costs they pay for the children’s needs + $10million. Ditto for Mr. Pitt. By the time their children reach to 18 year old, one has to add the basic cost of upkeep ($250k) + the lost paychecks and multiply the sum with the number of children.

So each time they refuse a script, the cost of “only for public approval” (according to some) children goes up by the amount they would have received from the movie+extras. But, as Lylian put it so eloquently, why would one expect a bigot to be fair?

Eastwood and Jolie Teaming for ‘Changeling’
An interesting pair may be working together

Looks like Clint Eastwood is venturing back to more entertaining filmmaking and he has nabbed quite the star for his next film which is said to be The Changeling for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment.
Variety reports that Angelina Jolie is in negotiations to star in the film in which she would play a woman whose son is abducted but retrieved; she suspects, however, that the returned child is not her kid. The woman must then confront corruption in the LAPD. Story is based on true events in 1920s Los Angeles.

The current plan is to begin production in 2008 so this one is a ways off.

Up next for Jolie will be the animated feature Beowulf and another animated feature in Kung Fu Panda. She has already finished up her work on A Mighty Heart, which is based on Mariane Pearl’s memoir detailing the terrifying and unforgettable story of her husband, Wall Street Journal reporter Danny Pearl’s life and death. Paramount Vantage is set to release that on June 22, 2007.

Thanks to all the informed bloggers who posted the articles and links regarding Angelina’s numerous charities, which showed those ignorant haters that they are just spouting nonsense. And as for other Hollywood stars who adopted, didn’t we have pictures of Meg Ryan, Sharon Stone, Hugh Jackman and Tom Cruise with their adopted children? How come no one is screaming photo op? Is it Brad and Angelina’s fault that they are the most photographed HW stars, that the papz are constantly after them to take their pictures whether they are walking on the red carpet or just taking a stroll with the kids?

It’s so funny at FF, they said other movie stars were embarrassed to talk to Brad and Angelina at the RC at the GGs. Hah, I guess Renee Z, Djimon H, Maggie G, the Arquettes, were all so embarrassed when they gave the Jolie-Pitts hugs and greetings. Sigh, these haters and FFers are so consistent in their blind hatred! They all will post unfounded, unproven rumors/articles about the JPs and believe in them as factual!

I will say something about JD’ daughter being in hospital due to untreated nail wound since nobody is mentioning this. If this thing happened to Mad, Zee or Shi, people will go wild and accuse Angie as unfit or uncaring mother. I am not saying that Vanessa is an unfit mother. This can happen to any children. You do not go wild every time your child has wounds and run to hospital. I also tend to treat wounds lightly and care them myself at home. What I want to say is nobody even gives a beep on JD and VP for this. People are so biased.

Thanks for all those articles on Angie doing things for charities. I think it does not matter what happens in her life, she will continuously do things to help people. I like this side of Angie but I hope that she does not forget that she is also an actress. I love to see her movies – not just serious movies like AMH but more of action/comedy kind like MMS.

Eastwood, Jolie catch ‘Changeling’
Grazer, Howard to produce pic
By DIANE GARRETT, MICHAEL FLEMING

Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment are fast-tracking “The Changeling,” with Clint Eastwood looking to direct and Angelina Jolie in talks to star.
Scripted by J. Michael Straczynski, the film will become a co-production of Imagine and Eastwood’s Malpaso. Brian Grazer and Ron Howard will produce with Malpaso’s Rob Lorenz.

Plan is to start production later this year.

Jolie would play a woman whose son is abducted but retrieved; she suspects, however, that the returned child is not her kid. The woman must then confront corruption in the LAPD. Story is based on true events in 1920s Los Angeles.

U and Imagine have been high on the project since acquiring it last summer and placing it on a shortlist of films that Imagine partner Howard intended to direct next. When Howard instead committed to adapt the Peter Morgan play “Frost/Nixon,” he and Grazer began thinking of other filmmakers. Since they expect to follow up “The Da Vinci Code” with a pic based on the Dan Brown novel “Angels & Demons,” it was clear Howard wouldn’t get to “The Changeling” for two years.

Howard, Grazer and Imagine exec Jim Whitaker then called Eastwood and asked him to read the script. Though a fixture at Warner Bros., Eastwood had to enlist outside partners to get his most recent films going: “Million Dollar Baby” and the dual pics “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters From Iwo Jima.”

Jolie, who’ll next be seen as Marianne Pearl in “The Mighty Heart” and then in the Bob Zemeckis-directed “Beowulf,” will have to juggle “The Changeling” with another plum project. She’s booked to star in “Atlas Shrugged,” a Randall Wallace-scripted adaptation of the Ayn Rand classic for Lionsgate.

She’s repped by Media Talent Group’s Geyer Kosinski. Eastwood is managed by Lenny Hirshan.

I saw a few comments on TMZ and ONTD that if this were Angelina she would turn this into a pr stunt and that unlike Johnny she is the real bad parent (even thiugh she has three children and nothing like this has yet to happen) It’s all just funny bc these are the same people who say the posters here are crazy and obsessed

Bluemoon I saw that too and even though I hope she does it, I don’t think she will. She might be busy this year with the new baby. But it is a testatment to her star power that they would release her name to get some buzz about the project.
