Angelina Jolie ‘Transformed’ in Chad

what an amazing lady!!!

Wow I’m first! Thanks jared.

i love this woman.

Ange rocks!

Thank you JJ, I was hoping you will have this thread on. You are awesome.

What a wonderful article and touching story. I have great admiration for her and bless her heart for all of the attention she’s trying to bring to the world that are slowly dying,

My heart and prayers are with all the children in Darfur.

Many thanks for the pics of this awesome lady! JJ you are and will be the best BLOG!!!

No matter how many times I watch the clips and view the photos, I cry my eyes out. Every time I thing Angie can’t do anything more to make me proud as a fan, She raise the bar higher and higher. Bless you Angie for keeping the focus where it should be!

My heart and prayers goes out to the people of Darfur/Chad especially the children.

I also wish the international community would wake up and try to put an end to the genicode that is taking place.

Thanks Jared and Audrey!

Thanks Jared for this thread. Angie is a really insprirational human being and I’ve got great admiration for her. The way she was holding that little boy was like the way you would see her holding one of her own kids.

Angelina is talking about a great Austrian organisation

This link takes you to the main page in German, there is another one in English.
To avpid moderation I’ll post that link in my next post

Thank you Just Jared. I truly believe that things like that are what change the world for good. :) All the best to her and all her family.

amazing lady….I have a lot of respect for her !!

Thanks Jared for the new thread and the article from Newsweek and the videos and the pictures. The pictures are so touching and the article is so wonderful. Angie is an incredible and amazing woman, and I am so glad to be a fan of hers, she is such an inspiration to us her fans, and to so many others. WAY TO GO ANGIE

Hey Alex, how was the movie? did you like it? I love love love it….my man is totally awesome.

Okay, I take back all the negative comments I’ve written about Jolie.
Looking at these pics, Jolie has a good heart.
She wants to help the less fortunate, and if we all can do the same, the world would be a better place. I know I haven’t done enough.

I wish her and her family well.

Geez.

She’s a good person after all.

that paper looks like the national enquirer of the usa

=====================================================
I agree, News of the World is a trashy tab and I seriously doubt that Angie gave them an exclusive interview, Angie and Brad don’t give interviews to tabloid Magazines, especially trashy ones.

She has a very big heart, and she is doing a lot of good things in this troubled world to help the others in need. I am sure God will help her and protect her so that she can continue to do this good work. May she and her family always be blessed.

You gotta love Angie. She honestly makes me more aware of all the less fortunate in the world.

Love how she respects culture and covers herself when she’s around people that do. Good for you, Angie!!!! She’s a one-of-a-kind celeb :)

Lady G—–ITA– re:

At least i do donate and try to help as much as I can, I wish we can make the rest of the folks who are fans(at least I think they are) to act and act soon as ell…….

Laura, that is very nice of you ! Thank you!

You can make a donation or sponsor a child at the organisation Angelina mentions in the article:
http://www.sos-childrensvillages.org/

The Austrian site also sells cards and little paper houses, the donation can be as small as buying a greeting card. The link (without the htt…)
sos-kinderdorf.at

Thank you again JJ! what a great weekend.. this is indeed the best place and seems to be always the first to have a write up on Ange and family… She truly is an amazing and inspiring woman who is serious, geniune and walks the walk! more power to her and her family!!

Hi Guli!

Ate Cha, I have not read any e-mails lately. I just came from work. So tired & have to do it tomorrow. I promise I will read & look at the pics. I am sure your little “apo” is very cute now.

I am off to bed soon. Chat later! I love that song…Di Na Natuto. Is it by Gary V?

Bye for now…

I wouldn’t be surprised if Angelina won the Nobel Peace Prize one day.

…and like, soon.

The white blouse in some pictures looks the same as the one in the pics she was walking with Brad and Zee and Shi in a stroller the other day. I personally like her indiference toward surface appearance.

A amazing human being!! Viva Angelina Jolie!!

But, Oh My God. LOOK at this clip..they are walking up the red carpet and she has just blazed off without him. What a nasty b*tch.

They were so in trouble even then.

Brad had long hair probably start shooting for Troy. so this video was on 2003 where their marriage was almost over. Agree with cliniqua, why took that long to dump this *****? He’s been bully by that self-absorbed ***** for 7 long yrs. why that long?

=====================================

Congratulation!
So far your post takes first place as the most stupid comment of the day!

here is a women that has been around the world seeking hope for the
hopeless and all you can comment on is a white blouse.. please!!!
WTS
goodnite!!

I went to Chad so I know the feeling. It’s really really poor. If you don’t have an escort the police arrest you so that they can get their salary. We really need to help these people and I’m glad someone like her makes the first step.
You guys can criticise her as much as you want but i bet you can’t even locate Chad!!!! At least she’s trying!

Jared…what the hell is wrong with you? You forgot to give proper credit for the information that led to creating this new thread! I am so, so shocked at you!

Just kidding…I was over on the other thread just now getting caught up and I came about the silliness of what I am calling CreditGate. That was just about the most asinine discussion I’ve ever seen here and whoever started it ought to have to sit through a 24 hour X Movie Marathon. That sh#t was just retarded.

Oh yeah - before I go to bed - still working on the tab report…probably not gonna be finished with it until mid-afternoon tomorrow. Real life rears it’s ugly head and I got suckered into doing something for someone in the A.M.

Angelina is the real American angel. American should be proud of her.

Wow. This is all I can say.

This woman is incredible.

Instead of saying much, I am posting my check for a donation to Darfur tomorrow. This is how I can prove that I am TRULY a fan of this extraordinary woman.

These pictures are hauting.

Hey guys, we get 1,000 posts alone just talking about how wonderful Angelina is.

Imagine if half of those 1,000 posts sent a dollar to Darfur. That’s already $500.

Imagine what we can do.

Let’s show the world what BAMZS fans are really about.

Go ahead and give money to Darfur.

Let’s show how incredible Angie’s fans are.

There are many many people admiring and supporting Angelina, but I do agree with 63. you can only help when you take care for yourself first. All the bad-mouth gossips are silly and have no influence on those people who share the values of humanity, beauty and righteousness.

Dear Angelina it’s great to see you drawing attention to Darfur.
But you should take care of your health first and foremost.
There are so many articles that you’re losing your weight so much.
I study medicine and sometimes weight loss imples cancer so honey take care of yourself. Do some regular checkups.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You’re a friggin’ idiot.

The point is no matter how bad Angelina Jolie may have it as you assume, she is worlds away from the horror of the people of Darfur. So that is why Darfur needs immediate attention.

Charity is not what you do when things are ok at home and then you decide to help.

Charity is helping despite what your shortcomings are.

Charity is giving even when you don’t have.

Charity is giving even when you yourself are a work in progress.

Charity is caring for a complete stranger even before your own.

Mother Theresa was a stick when she was working in India. So was Audrey Hepburn when she was a rep for UNICEF. They did not stop their work to got fill themselves with weight gain milk shakes before deciding to help.

Help if you have one leg to walk on.

Help if you have one eye to see.

Help however you are and however you can. Misery and famine and hunger cannot wait for us to work on ourselves first before we help.

Darfur is in a state of emergency.

Angelina Jolie is sophisticated and compassionate enough to understand this.

What don’t you take a moment, just one moment, to ponder on the innocent children in those pictures instead of your assenine passive agressive attacks on the woman responsible for you even knowing that some 7 year old kid accorss the continent is scarred for life because his entire village has been nearly destroyed.

You insensitive specimen of vermon you.

What an amazing woman she started her work six years ago before Brad pitt.Now together they will help a lot of people and its good to see that the criticism is not slowing her down.These critics are not interested in helping at all.She knows what she wants and you can tell that she is moving forward with her work and her family

What I see is a woman who is very strong,very determined,committed mother and partner totally different from the weak person the tabs want to make her.You go Angelina we know you will continue to inspire a lot of people.God bless you.

It looks they are going to spend a lot of time in NO

She never ceases to amaze me. She is truly a remarkable young woman. Brad must be very proud.

her face tell’s the horror of what she is really seeing ….. this is real this is a gut wrenching situation that I was totally removed from till i saw these picture’s and damn it if she doesn’t look even more beautiful.
She is a real honest careing human being and the picture’s say alot she is for real what can I do to help these people I can only make a small donation since i raise my grandchildren.

_________

Evelyn, just so you know, every “small” donation helps. These people are living for less then US$1 a day. If you donate just one dollar, you are helping some one live another day. And if you look at the faces on the videos, the young still have hope. They want to live that one more day. So, though most of us here are not going to do an Angelina Jolie or Mia Farrow or be an aid worker on the field, our financial donations will really help.

Also writing to our nations leaders to let them know that the situation is just so unacceptable. I want to say at this point that the world is waiting for someone to act - presumably the US. This is wrong. For better or worse, there should be other nations who are willing to help and send troops. I am disappointed with other great nation states for not doing something, including Australia, my own country. We are all sitting around waiting for the US to do something about Sudan. Why is that?? Where is the EU leadership on this point?? Chad and Sudan are much closer to Europe then to America. Does anyone have an explanation? I’m not criticizing yet, but I am curious.

Why must it upset any angie fan when someone also a fan shows concern about her safety or health????

Sure we love this woman. She is inspiring, selfless and fearless. Remember , she is also a loving partner , mother of very young children.

Mother Theresa , a nun, disabowed all earthly possessions or familial connection in pursuing her noble cause or A. Hepburn did her humanitarian efforts during her later life when her children are older.

Angie ’s situation is different to these 2 women. The places she now visits are more dangerous than ever. I am sure Brad , James ( brother) are worried to death and so are we, fans of her.

IMHO ,comments concerning about health should not be the object of mockery or disdain . Some of us just love her like our own family, our sister, daughter or best friend….. cheers

London, Mar 11 (ANI): Angelina Jolie narrowly escaped being kidnapped, while on a visit to an unnamed destination in the capacity of a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR.

The Oscar winning star, who became a Goodwill Ambassador back in 2001, has travelled to some of the remotest and also war-torn areas of the world raising awareness of the plight of refugees.

However, one visit that really had a reeling was when she learnt that gangsters were plotting to kidnap her and hold her for a very large ransom.

“It was in a small village. I won’t say where, or with whom, but some gangsters planned to kidnap me and extort a massive ransom. I was warned at the last minute, and managed to escape, luckily,” the News of the World quoted her, as saying.

However, Jolie insists that she’s not about let one kidnap plot scare her away from the work she does for she wants to do her bit in lending a helping hand to underprivileged people.

“I don’t want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood. But I want to help where there is poverty and destruction,” she said.

As for how beau Brad Pitt copes with their trips, well Jolie revealed that the couple solved their problems by working as a team.

“I love Brad very much and on our trips we pull together as a team,” she said.

But Jolie does admit that things get tough when it affects the couple’s three kids – Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh – all of whom have been accompanying their parents on their trips to far-off places.

“Things only get difficult when it affects our children,” she said.

“I have become more mature. I have learned to accept responsibility for myself, my children and my partner. Becoming a mum was the biggest change in my life, and it made me feel like a complete woman. At times in my life I was lost, without a purpose, now I’m more grounded,” Jolie revealed.

i love this part..
“I love Brad very much and on our trips we pull together as a team,”

The rag that put this out there is a tabby and there is NO way that Angie gave them an interview.

Just another rag trying to us Angie to sell it’s rag of a magazine.
——————-
Thank you Lady G. I was about to say that. This article came from a British Tabloid. Their making up stories all the time. Much worse than the American Tabs. There was also a story that they had kidnap threats from Al Qaeda while thy where in India and it came from a British rag also and of course it wasn’t true. And all this supposed Madonna criticism from Angie came from British rags. I won’t believe anything for a British publication.

Thank you Jared for this wonderful Thread. You are the number one source for everything regarding BAMZS+1 with no doubt!!

The pictures are heartbreaking!

Angie has been through this situation for years but every single trip is a brand new experience for her. A new life lesson. She is completely devoted and no matter what is said nothing will stop her. She has the support of her loved ones and of course her fans.

MORE POWER TO HER!!!

Me and my family have managed to give a certain amount of money every month to UNISEF. We are doing this for about five years. The money are not much but I’m searching ways to do more. When I will decide to have a family I have already made a promise to my self that I will adopt a child with any cost it may take. Angie was and is a great inspiration about that decision. And I will try to make it a reality.

I wonder at people who will jump at the chance to criticize this trip to Chad. AJ and BP could hole up in a mansion and have posh parties the rest of their lives. I mean really - they could just be fabulous, gorgeous and do nothing else in the world and they wouldn’t owe anything to anyone for it.

Beautiful pictures. Beautiful lady.

Sir Bob Geldolf, Bono, Bill & Melinda Gates, Oprah ???
I’m not their fan!

But I’m ANGIE FAN SO I want her to receive the Nobel Prize …WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT!!!

“I do care about the opinion of the aid worker, I do care about the opinion of the refugee. I care less about the opinion of the person who’s never been in the field but has an opinion about celebrity. ”

That woman is amazing.There is so much pain in this world,and she is there,in the field,talks to those people,touches them,feels their pain,cries with them,holds their hand.When you are so desperate,like those people are,even this small human contact is a big relief to your pain.Just to see that someone cares and SHE cares.What can people’s criticism do to her when she has seen what she has seen?
She is a great example and a great humanitarian and I admire her more and more everyday.Angelina,I’m proud to be your fan.

http://justjared.buzznet.com/gallery/photos.php?yr=2007&mon=03&evt=angelina_jolie_chad&pic=angelina-jolie-chad-04.jpg

This is the reason why all the criticisms against this woman just don’t hold water. People can pick on her weight or can rehash on her past but that’s nothing compared to the realities that she spotlights on when she visits places like Chad, Sierra Leone. This is one of the things that I find admirable about her. Her physical beauty fades with her beautiful soul and compassionate heart. She’s just a beautiful human being.

BTW, Hello to all JP fans and kaway to all my kababayans. Magandang umaga/gabi sa inyong lahat. May you all be safe and in good health.

One, I think the economic superpowers are playing a waiting game until all the important players have established their claims. With France and China heavily involved in the oil exploration claims and we know who China is very friendly with, there’s too much at stake as far as the first world nations are concerned more than enforcing justice and pushing the Sudanese gov’t to go after Arab militias. Why are the US and EU wary to step in? Its a deafening silence. The Darfur situation has reached a point when military intervention might be the only solution left. I really hope the EU would take an active role and not wait for the US to initiate the first step.

Two, the AU and UN are still somehow divided to the issue. I think it pertains most to the AU because I don’t think there’s anyone in the African Union who has the political will to condemn Sudan and really forced the hand of the Khartoum leaders to go after the Arab militias.

Third, I hope those nations that has the military powers and logistics to spearhead intervention would step up and not wait for the US. The US leadership is too preoccupied with Iraq and I don’t think the anyone is willing to rock the boat with the upcoming elections. I think there are still some people in Capitol Hill who are wary with might be another Somalia situation.

Sudan is too divided as a nation. To attempt to unify the North and South is an act of futility w/ the leadership not only deaf but what’s worse blood thirsty reactions to the grievances of those marginalized. They say history has proven time and again, that only a bloody revolution can bring democracy to a nation. But the injustice in this crisis is that those that are being unfairly treated, are not even given a chance to fight for their rights. This war is definitely not fair to all. And the worst is that this is being played out right before our eyes…….

Thanx Jared for bringing this!

Great posts lylian & malaya. I love reading some very well thought posts & overtime I am learning something new from you guys. Be it for daily life, politics, travel, cuisines,cultures, law, & of course anything about the going-ons about the Jolie-Pitts. Thank U all

Oh Angelina, you really are inspiring me more now than ever. Your life have been so meaningful not only to you, your family & friends, colleagues but also to your fans & admirers. Keep up the good work, we your fans stand behind you on your endless works.

queenbee, chill a bit! did nicole went to dangerous places like angie does? and angie did tht for awhile, i just heard about nicole lately but not much, though it doesn’t matter really, most important thing is tht u are bringing attention and actually help make a difference.angie does her thing w/ so much passion? my advice for u don’t make a big deal about it, rather do something to help.i admire mother theresa , i havn’t seen much of nicole deeds , i mean passion but hopefully one day and tht she would also donate much money and passion to the poor.yes, lots of celebrity do did donate oprah,bill gates, ( very rich people) but where the money goes, do u think most of their money went to the needy? or who knows, coz why theres still lot of people who is starving, knowing the value of dollar( us) tht made me question.while i applaud oprah for donating 40 to 100 million or so, i don’t understand why built a luxury school tht only only small amount of people can benifit. do they really need a spa? or make up saloon? how about the majority / who are starving, dying?, why not build a hospital there too?, a clinic or heath centers or more school, wells. with tht amount of money alloted for a luxury school or built a training center for people to get a job. anyway, i still admire oprah just wish she put things into perspective.

been crying since last night.i will always love u anjie!and papa pitt too.and shi and mad and zee and the other one.

greetings from Holland,

Angelina is fearless, i admire her more and more, don’t compare her with Nicole Kidman, she was not there with Angie, i just once seen NK for UN work last year to Kosovo, she was so stylist with nice clothes and thick make up for her visits, and you are hater still proud about that what a hyprocrit, and don’t compare Angelina with other celebirity who are dare to visit to Africa (clean and nice ex: South Africa) and who are not dare to dangerous field like Congo, Darfur, Ethiophia cambodia etc Angie went to Chad not for PR but she went to the place which is dangerous, dirty, and chaostish she’s not saint only a human and woman has awarness, look at her, she hugging a boy with a string on his foot and she’s not felt horrible, Don’t you think hater if NK will hugging this boy?, I guarantee she’s not

A very significant difference between the other really good people you named and Angelina is that she actually goes to the countries she is talking about , actually talks to the people , actually gets her hands dirty by working in the Millenium Villages or participating in building or loading trucks , or carrying children . How many of these other people do any of these things ? I don’t think Nicole Kidman has been to more than 2 countries and definitely not gotten dirty . The men you named have been working on this goal for the last 20-25 years . I think they are very admirable . All who decide to help the plight of the suffering are to be admired . But Angelina is definely in a special place . She is really unique .

What Is Her Point? Says:

March 11th, 2007 at 10:50 am - flag comment
No offense, but what are the point of these trips? What does she actually accomplish? I mean Oprah (whom i loathe) went to Africa & built a school. Ok, fine, that is something tangible…

But what has Angelina actually done? She just goes there, gets her pics taken, and nothing changes. She has been doing these trips since 2001, WHAT HAS CHANGED? WHAT HAS IMPROVED?

====================================

“What has changed?” Well the fact that you are here discussing the topic with us, the awareness in our conscience of what’s happening to some 200K people in Sudan, is what has changed. As for “What has improved?” Not much, because you have not done a thing to improve the situation. It takes all of us. But if you ask the little boy she held in her arms, he probably would tell you that for a moment in his life, he forgot about his suffering.
On a serious note, if you re-read the article, she is aware of her limitations, and is trying to find a solution.
About a year ago, I got a lot of books on international law and I tried to study what was going on—just out of a curiosity about what was this bigger picture. I don’t want to have to keep going back to camps, five different times, over the next 30 years of my life, [for situations] that there are no solutions for.
Mean time, bringing awareness to the crisis is what she wants to accomplish right now.
People will look at these pictures of you in Chad and ask, “What can I do?” What should they do?
There are great NGOs like SOS [Austria's SOS Kinderdorp] and there are great NGOs inside and under the U.N. that you could send aid to. It’s important for the American people to know that a lot of people believe—I certainly believe—that it has been their outcry and their interest that has motivated our government. I think that the American people have paid attention to Darfur—a really amazing groundswell of people that really care, and are moved and emotional about the things they’ve seen when it is brought to their attention.

team tomkat Says:

Actually Clooney got his involvement in Africa started because of Brad. Clooney said so himself. If I remember correctly Brad told him of his trip to Africa when they were filming Ocean 12

#132 What is her point ?

If you really want to know what she has accomplished then you would have read that she is very active politically . She has been instrumental in getting a bill passed to help legally the immigrant children bought here , she has worked with politicians towards getting help medically , and economically for the people in these UNHCR countries , she has donted her money to build schools and orphanges and I’m sure I could go on and on .

Anyone heard from Passing Through? I didn’t miss her did I?

Reading the article, i felt spent. I can’t imagine how emotionally draining these trips must be for Angie. I truly believe that God sent Brad to her to comfort and take care of her as she gives herself selflessly to the world. God bless her and her family.

Angie inspired us all. From a wild and lost person she has transformed herself into a good person who has purpose in life. Way to go Angie.

#149 Gia,What are you talkimg about?These pictures are older than the ones from last Monday when she and Brad where walking in NO and she DID NOT look gaunt.I am really getting sick of you fake fan’s and the she is to thin crap.Go rent Girl interrupted or the Bone collecter Angelina has ALWAYS been thin.Yes she gained pounds for Tomber Raider but once the reshoots were done she went back to her normal size.Also did you read the article?The woman didn’t get any sleep while in Chad.Then night she landed at Midnight she was up at 5am catching another plane.She looks beautiful to me and you know she had to be exhausted from the flights.

I think she is wonderful for her taking her time to shed light on these situations and she and anyone else who does this work should be commended for it, not mocked and ridiculed.

Please stop repeating trash. This is a serious article. Let’s not take away from it.

Well you kind of are a groupie and a fan bc you post on these threads every day… just sayin. Don’t mock the people here bc you do the exact same thing. Just bc you are not positive doesn’t mean you’re not obsessed…

132 What Is Her Point? Says: March 11th, 2007 at 10:50 am

No offense, but what are the point of these trips? What does she actually accomplish? I mean Oprah (whom i loathe) went to Africa & built a school. Ok, fine, that is something tangible…

But what has Angelina actually done? She just goes there, gets her pics taken, and nothing changes. She has been doing these trips since 2001, WHAT HAS CHANGED? WHAT HAS IMPROVED?

All that happens is she gets good publicity. Now i\’m not saying that is her objective or her goal, but that is the only thing that actually happens.

^^^^

How much did you know about Darfur, Chad, Sudan, janjaweed, al Bashar, Congo, the aids epidemic etc before?

Maybe you were aware of some or more, but many weren’t until not only Angelina, but Bono, Mia Farrow and others said “look at me so I can show you what you need to see.”

Awareness preceeds, and hopefully help follows, and in the western world who is it we gaze upon most, or want to know every move they make? Celebritys that’s who, and thank GOD Angelina Jolie , Bono Vox, Mia Farrow, Oprah Winfrey and others newer at getting the press and cameras to come along such as Scarlet Johannson, Leonardo Di Caprio, Alisha Keyes have made the choice of using their time and money to shine a light on man’s inhumanity to man by going to places and into situations that they know unless they illuminate the atrocities no one else can or will give the attention that celebrity provides and so far they’ve been right.

Just look at this thread and what’s being discussed. Her trip has allowed for dialogue/discussion about something significant opposed to the normal empty debates like “are those real?/are those fake?”

The by product of Angelina Jolie’s fame is that she can help raise the consciousness not only about a part of the world many would give not a moments thought to, but there is a trickle up and down affect because of it not only because pocketbooks are being opened more (just her appearence on Anderson Coopers 360 last year raised donations in the 6 figures). The other by product of awareness is that it may make people look around in their own surroundings and see where they can help right in their own backyards.

Ok got it now THANKS :-) and i’ll do the same next time. As for Angie i hope she’s always safe everytime she goes to her humanitarian work.. God bless her.

Thanks for this wonderful thread Jared.

I am so in awe of Angie; her fearlessness, her inspiration, and her incredible desire to help others. It’s been said before, but she is truly the most beautiful, inside, and out. These photos are so moving, especially the one where she is holding the little boy.

I really wish I could go to other countries and help people in need like Angelina! Every time I go to a store and Im with my mom someone will come up to use and tell us if they can have 50 cents or $1 for something and my mom will say that she doesnt have money it breaks my heart to see them leaving sad I just wish I had enough money so I could give them all the money they need but I know that wont happend so when I see people like Angelina it shows me that you CAN have enough money to give away to people who really need it thats why I admire her!!

Wonderful post! I think this sums up what most celebs with causes like this but imo Angelina is one for the few that go above the call.

Prejudices of all kinds- whether religious, racial, or political- are destructive of divine foundations in man.
All the warfare and bloodshed in human history have been the outcome of prejudice. This earth is one home and native land. God has created mankind with equal endowment and right to live upon the earth.
As a city is the home of all its inhabitants although each may have his individual place of residence therein, so the earth’s surface is one wide native land or home for all races of humankind.

I really think Angie has a full life, she’s like very strong and courageous, but she has this mysterious aura about her, this fragileness…she’s like a contradiction.

guys , i just once in a blue moon but don’t worry about somebody who hid under different name ,asking asinine questions or spew there hateful spirit. i know time this person, is just lurking here and then start ranting.well, maybe there’s another one who seem to hv a bit of brain but she forgot to use it wisely and was drained back to the gutter. anyway, guys i know this off topic, but since were constantly mentioning charity and the people involve in it, including angie. but my question is why inspite of the fact tht theres lot of rich people and charities who help africa, why is it tht a lot of people are still suffering, sick,un-educated,dying,jobless, dependent, starving and etc. where exactly the money goes? how did charities spend or distribute the money? i heard warren gave pretty much all his billions to the charity of mr. bill gates. but it seems like , i never seen big changes, majority are still in dire situation.i am really confused, they always say one dollar could go a long way for african, but they are donating millions of u.s dollars? whts the improvement? i heard bill gate’s foundation supporting about the cure for aids. though i feel like lost in it, where in africa? and thts all they did for tht money? or did they build a technical or trade school where they learn skill to make their life easier and to become less dependent . i think giving food, clothes and etc. is not enough. they don’t luxury school to be pampered, tht will come later when ur an accomplished person. they need education, good health,skills and training .the thing i like w/ angie though she put thing in real perspective, tht people need skills so they will be less dependent. u can’t just help same people or support them while theres lots of others in waiting. like for example tht one she did in cambodia. sometimes, if u give money directly to the person who knows, wht they gonna do w/ the money. so thts why the bamboo and rice planting or supporting the productions is really good or else everybody will just rely for help .anyway, i still want enlightenment about those rich charities? i will include my dearest oprah since she is also the richest woman, no kids just sophie the dog, maybe she can built more schools ( i mean a school tht would benefit the majority not just a chosen few) c’m on , if u wanna help, please do it realistically. like also building a clinics. i am also trying to call out celebrities, politicians who are saying they support charity but all i can see are there face plastered on televisions, internet, magazines yet i wonder if they donate their own money to it or tht’s just p.r. theres one actress, i heard asking for donations to save an elephant named daisy. i was asking myself, why she ask donations for tht, she has plenty of money , way more money for tht elephants needs?. oh my……..

Hm…………truth hurts people….

(and don´t worry, I´m perfectly slim…….but Angelina on the other side…..phew….I mean , I don´t know, maybe she is into the skinny look herself,but it looks really bad)

And this “save the world stuff” just bores me.

I think she looks great . not that it matters wth she looks like when she’s in the middle of a refugee camp. seriously.

That is a big inaccuracy. GP was always very thin before while and after she was with Brad. JA was told to lose many pounds so she could get the role in Friends before Brad. And as for Angie she was always like that in her life. Go to any site and see pictures of her of 2000 and after. She is like that because she wants to be like that and she is able to travel and be a mother to three kids and she will soon have another one so she is obviously very healthy and active. Stop the nonsense already!

I get it, you are a Aniston fan right? You don’t like Brad with Angie.

black is a crazy lunatic…saying that this thread is boring YET she is posting here for quite a while now> I dunno maybe black is such a bore she comes here for some enlightenment from nice people of BAZMS. Just Go To Hell black & stay there. At least you giving us a favor. Worry not Satan will adore you.

i think it’s interesting that angelina jolie and brad pitt’s posts always get hundreds of comments while everyone else gets less then 50.

Jolie has to work a lot hard on her PR before winning over the public!!
====================================================
She doesn’t have to work hard on ANYTHING, PR or otherwise, because she already has won over the public — the public who matter anyway. She has the respect of people of note, she talks to presidents, prime ministers, heads of state, etc etc. She is loved by her fans, her children, and her BRAD. So vile, FAT WOMEN ON THE INTERNET who worship Anuston hate her … BIG FU*CKING DEAL. They haven’t brought her down in the two years they have been attending Anuston’s pity parties, and they ain’t bringing her down now!

Peeps just ignore those stupid haters/fanistons. They all know they lost so they are doing the real trashing but worry not it will backfire back to the X. The truth will eventually come to light & we ‘ll have the last laugh. And these pest will scurry back to their lair & rot there.

((((CLAPPING)))) BRAVO. WELL SAID

Has anyone read the stories about the parent’s of the kids who go to Oprah’s school in Africa complaining? They’re complaining that they are hardly allowed to see their daughters who are like 13 years old. hahahaha, this is going to become a problem for Okra soon enough.

Oh, and if that’s not enough, Lainey and Perez have both hinted that Courtney Cox and David Arquettes’ marriage is on the breakdown cause Courtney is shagging some dude on her show

I FCUKING LOVE IT!

Oh and Angelina is doing a movie with Clint Eastwood. So much for those people screaming no one would work with her.HA!

Yes, Karma for all. Ain’t it sweet.

Lol. Did anyone hear about all those parents complaining about Oprah’s school in Africa.

And now Lainey and Perez are both hinting that the Courtney Cox and David Arquette marriage is on the break down.

Karma is sweet.

You are right. She should follow your example.

I am sure you the charitable one. Why I bet you visit orphanages on your days off from working at Piggly Wiggly.

And you bring the orphan kids your homemade funnel cakes and fried twinkies as a gesture of kindness.

Ignore the haters, the stupids, the loonies, etc. They are so full of hate and ignorance that they can’t even produce an intelligent reason why they dislike this amazing woman. X has long cease to be a reason. The blob comment is dead, so is everything else that is insanely stupid. Their only dying cry is her weight. All of us have suggested they look at movies, stills, etc, that show her being the same size then as now. They won’t do the research. They just hate blindly. In another post I stated that she is not even in the top 20 richest women in HW, yet she builds clinics, schools, animal reserves, conservation projects, purchases equipment sewing machines to help women become self sufficient, books, medical supplies, etc. Yes Oprah, Bill & Melinda, and Bono give, but this woman makes so much less than any of them. Plus neither Oprah nor Bill and Melinda have gotten down and dirty like she does. I consider myself to be a pretty well informed person, but I have learned somethings I didn’t know by reading her book and articles, truthful ones, about her travels. Don’t ask what is her point? What is your point? What are you doing? Why are you here? Not just on this site, but this earth? We all will be held accountable for what we did while here on this earth. For those of you who accuse her of being a home wrecker, you don’t know that. Look at your life, your records. Your thoughts. Remember God forgives whom he chooses, and rewards whom He wills. It is said that good deeds will follow long after a person is dead, and good deeds will wash away a mulitude of wrongs. Remember Angie was doing this before she met Brad, therefore she has a huge stack of good deeds. Hate slingers remember hate is a sin, and sins will get you only one reward, if that is what it is called. Wishing evil on a person, their children, their family is a sin. Peace.

Good point. Thanks for the tip.

It baffles me that people can find room to criticize someone helping a human rights crisis such as this!

I’ll just refer to their # and name next time…..

If the haters are giving their best shot of their hatred towards Angie. This means only one thing: they are desperate all over again. Their hatred, jealousy has reached to the end.

They attack irrationally as much as they suffer and feel desparate.

Pictures are worth a thousand words. If you don’t see and feel the sincerity of Angelina in these pictures, well then I would say you are hopeless and clueless, and will always be cold-hearted haters.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Agreed. As if this small emaciated child tied to a post is only visible by some and the haters just missed that image. Their hatred does not alow them to focus on that child’s misery and instead they have to channel their ugliness onto the woman who is bringing attention to that child.

Fascinating. I thought my fellow Americans were more compassionate. Am I wrong?

#237 Team Lara Croft,These “haters” have made hating Angelina a lifestyle and it’s sad!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Agreed! And this is the final straw as far I am concerned. I mean if you can’t take a moment and have compassion for this kind of misery then really how insecure can these haters be? Oh wait, VERY insecure apparently.

They are grasping for Jenny Craig straws here. Poor things.

Fug Face Maniston,

They are about to die of desperation. Please go and get your cola and popcorn. Enjoy what you see. :)

I think a hater probably makes up his or her mind that he/she is not going to like or approve Angelina no matter what. It is a form of prejudice towards her to the point that they are blinded by their own hatred at this point. It is almost like they are at the point of no return. They almost get a high on this level of blinding hate they have in their hearts. So I suggest we leave them to their pitiful sad selves and just pray for them…

Hey Alex, is the Yahoo mail site working?

This magazine knows how to sell a copy.I have to admit this does bring awareness to the plight of all these refugees, but i have mixed feelings, as an American ,of the involvement of NATO. American troops continue to make up a major part of all NATO forces, and i am wary about a mission that would deploy U.S. troops to the region. The rest of the world and some Americans think the US has the military power and the political will to intervene everywhere, but we dont, as is demonstrated by the ever eroding support in Iraq. I believe this is an African conflict and the Africans should take care of it. Neighboring countries have done heroic work so far. Our troops need a fricken break!

anustin get a grip on yourself!

RANDOM: I watched ‘The Sting,’ last night on cable - had never seen it. Brad’s resemblance to Redford when he was young, is pretty amazing. Man where he and Paul Newman something. Paul Newman ws like 46 when he filmed this and Redford was like 37.

I asked this question last night - but it was late….does anyone know where in the Access Clip Extended of the God Grew Tired of Us premiere do you hear Brad tell Angelina to “Come here.” Then with the smootch/hug. It’s 5:15 minutes long so I just wanted to pinpoint it.

actually I think Wanted and The Senator’s Wife are officially not going to be done now that the only script done is the latest movie - Counterclockwise. If the only movement that we have is the counterclockwise movie then whither the scripts and movement for Wanted and The Senator’s Wife.

#253 Cliniqua… Yes, Brad totally resembles Robert Redford.. You can search on youtube… you can watch it there!

to the fan who is goint to visit Nice, France,

I don’t know what to tell you. If you are in down town, go by walk everywhere. You will enjoy the old city.

I like Carros and Fayence but you need a car to go those places. St-Paul is very touristy but very nice and expensive. I love Eze village, not by the seaside one. There are 3 villages called Eze. Villefranche is also my favourite, specially on Sundays. There is open bazaar.

As you can see, I love the places around Nice. Sorry, for not being a help to you.

from imdb, regarding Meryl Streep, let’s analyse Meryl’s schedule.

Meryl is filming Lions for Lambs with Tom Cruise. Looks like a big project.

By the time Meryl finishes this, she will go into projects that are now listed as “pre-production”. Look at the scedule below, there are many many 2008 pre-production in progress right now. “wanted” is NOT one of them.

Looks like Meryl will be busy. She certainly has NO time for that “wanted” which Jen fans are bragging about

First Man (2008) (announced) …. The President
Wanted (2007) (announced)

Chaos (2008) (pre-production)
Dirty Tricks (2008) (pre-production) …. Martha Mitchell
The Last Station (2008) (pre-production) …. Sofia Andreyevna
Mamma Mia! (2008) (pre-production) …. Donna

Lions for Lambs (2007) (filming) …. Ursula Leachman

Evening (2007) (post-production) …. Lila Wittenborn
Rendition (2007/I) (post-production)

Ye Olde Tabloid Report

Sorry in advance for the length, folks! Lot of cr#p to cover this week…and don’t forget to look for the hidden song lyric…

There’s good news and bad news this week. The good news is that Brad and Angie are getting another kid. The bad news is that every tabloid except the National Enquirer felt the need to write a 10 page article about it. Even worse…every one of them had just about the exact same story with quotes from the exact same Vietnamese officials. For a communist country, the Vietnamese sure are loose-lipped. I thought “freedom of speech” was our thing?

Here is some basic information, I hesitate to call them “facts”, that isin just about every story this week:
- They’re adopting a boy, aged 3-4
- Vietnamese minister of adoption Vu Duc Long doesn’t know when to shut up
- The child is coming from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chih Minh City
- Brad and Angie love all their little tykes and this is going to be one lucky litte anke-biter
- Angie is adopting as a single person because unmarried couples cannot adopt under Vietnamese Law
- The folks at the Tam Binh orphanage had no idea that Angie was planning to adopt from them
- The adoption could take up to 5 months

Okay…so let’s cut to the chase…the nominees for This Week’s Funniest Tabloid Stories Are:

- National Enquirer: Story: A Star Is born

The only rag not to do an adoption story. I think they’re budget is a bit pinched and they didn’t have any spare cash this week to pay “sources”. So instead they go with a fictional story about the photos we saw a week ago with Shiloh on the set of CCOBB with Brad.

* NE claims they have an exclusive this week – Shiloh substitutes for the twins who were supposed to play Cate Blanchett’s character as a baby. (Sidebar: Amazing how no one knew about this sooner…including the people making the movie.)

* NE says they couldn’t get the twins who were supposed to play the role to settle down and they tried everything, including feeding them, changing them and hugging them. (Sidebar: I guess it never occured to them that the little buggers were holding out for their paycheck?)

* According to a insider on the set who is now looking for a new job, “Then quick thinking Brad realized his daughter’s happy and mellow disposition made her a quick fix for the role.” (Sidebar: Word has it that Shiloh, a keen contract negotiator like her father, was able to get $20MIL up front and 10% of the gross profits for her imaginary day’s work. Clearly those twins were being divas.)

* The NE says that director David Finch jumped at the idea and Shiloh was rushed to the costume and make-up in record time. (Sidebar: In another keen negotiating move Shiloh got to keep both her wardrobe, a blue onesie festooned with seed pearls and diamante, and the remainder of the unused box of Pampers: Ages 9-12 months.)

* The NE’s source says, “She’s a natural. Shiloh did her scenes perfectly and was giggling and happy throughout her big day.” (Sidebar: I’d be giggling and happy to if I got $20MIL + 10% of the gross profits! Later in the evening, at the home of the Jolie-Pitts, late, late at night when they were supposed to be sleeping, I have learned, exclusively, I might add, that Zahara was overheard saying to Shiloh, “You stink Shi. You should’ve got a box of graham crackers instead of the Pampers!”

OK!: This week OK! goes for warm-and-fuzzy with lots of photos of Brad & Shiloh on the CCOBB set and photos fo Jane with Shiloh & Mad, but they get in their digs at the adoption as well.

* The start out with the Warm-and-fuzzy - Shiloh and Brad on the CCOBB set. According to a witness, “Shiloh had a great tiem sitting on Brad’s shoulders.” (Sidebar: Yeah, I bet she did. Brad’s got something I’d like to sit on, too…and it ain’t above his waist.)

* The witness says that “Shiloh was playing with a lot of the neighborhood kids.” (Sidebar: Come on…the kid can’t even walk. How much “playing” could she possible have done that didn’t involve her own spit bubbles?)

* Since there was really no story with Shiloh on the set, OK! segues into the adoption part of the story. They say the boy is 3 to 4 years old and will join Angie’s other adopted children, “Both of whom Brad has adopted.” (Sidebar: Hmm. I know it’s OK!, but this is only the second time I’ve seen a “magazine” publish that the adoption was complete. I guess someone sent them a quarter and they bought a clue.)

* OK! says that in Vietnam orphanages boys outnumber girls and that adoption is “complicated and expensive” - up to $23K. Four or five months after they apply the prospective parents have to spend a 2-3 week “journey of love” to pick up their child. (Sidebar: Uh…OK! was the only tab to come up with this “journey of love” cr#p, so let’s put that down as “story enhancement” shall we.)

* They also say that Vietnamese law states that adoptive parents must not be divorces more than twice…and that Angie is “at the limit”. (Sidebar: Funny they should mention limits…cuz they take it to the limit one more time…)

* OK! goes on to ponder why are Angie and Brad in such a rush to adopt add another child to their family. According to a supposed friend of Angies, “Angelina would’ve loved for her mom to have seen a dozen grandkids running around her house.” (Sidebar: I’m scratching my head on this one…Angie’s adopting again for her dead mother…who can’t see the child…cuz…she’s kinda dead! Whuh?)

* Sorry, excuse me…OK! says the adoption is a “tribute to her mom”. My bad.

* Ok! goes on to wonder if adopting so soon after Shiloh’s birth is a good idea. There PAID EXPERT - Dr. Gilda of Drgilda.com for those of you who wanna get cybershrunk - says, “She loses interest in the children as they start becoming more GROWN UP. Time and effort have to be invested in talking to the children and seeing them grow up.” (Sidebar: Uh, I know the folks are OK! are a third rate tabloid, but surely even they realize how stupid this statement is? First of all, she says Angie loses interest as the children become “more grown up”. How grown up is a 9 month old…and a 26-month old…compared to the 4 YEAR-OLD she’s adopting? Let’s see…we’ve got one that can’t talk, can’t walk, and wears diapers and plays in her poo like it’s silly putty; another one that can talk, can walk but is too lazy and makes Mommy and Daddy carry her, and wears diapers because she refuses to believe that going on the big people’s potty is going to be more fun than pooping in her drawers and somene else having to wipe her ass. Now, contrast that to a child who can walk, talk, and you don’t have to wipe his ass for him. Now is it me, or is their expert as stupid as she sounds?)

* In a separate article OK! had a feature called “How to live like - Angelina Jolie” and it was a bunch of pictures of sh#t none of us will ever be able to afford, so who cares?

Outtatouch: Story: The Family’s Getting Bigger

* Warm-and-fuzzy abounds this week at OuttaTouch, too. They have a lot of the NO photos that we’ve already seen - mainly Brad & Angie with Shiloh & Z in the sroller walking around the French Quarter. According to an onlooker, “They looked like they were on top of the world.” (Sidebar: Why wouldn’t they be on top of the world. Brad gets to f#ck THE Angelina Jolie. Angie gets to f#ck THE Brad Pitt. Oh..yeah…and their tots are cute, too.)

* I am so sorry…my bad again. OuttaTouch says the reason they’re so happy is because they’re getting ready to add another kid to the family and that the news was confirmed by a Vietnamese adoption official, Vu Duc Long. (Sidebar: I love how every tab tried to make it sound like Long spoke to them directly, when in fact he issued a general press release to the worldwide media. But, Ma and Pa Kettle in Podunk, Mississippi don’t know that, so every rag looks like they’ve got a legitimate story written with the cooperation of the Vietnamese government.)

* They go on to say that Angie is “side-stepping” the unmarried couples rule by filing to adopt as a single woman. “Sidebar: Somehow I got a feeling the folks in Vietnam know she’s half of the hottest couple in the world. Whoever sent the folks at OK! the quarter to buy a clue, could ya send one to the publishers of OuttaTouch, too? Thank you.)

* OuttaTouch says that Angie has applied to adopt a boy, aged 3 to 4, and their PAID INSIDER says that Mad is “really excited”. The source goes on to say, “He needs a little buddy to do boy stuff with. He’s been jumping with joy at the thought of having a brother to protect and explore the world with.” (Sidebar: When the new brother arrives the first thing Mad is going to do is lay down the ground rules: “Shiloh is MY PET. You have to ask Mommy for you own…better yet, ask Daddy, he’s the soft touch.”)

* OuttaTouch wonders if Brad and Angie are up to the task of having so many kids so quickly and a non-existent “pal” says, “Of course there will be a period of adjustment for the new little one but he’ll showered with love. Before a month goes by, he’ll be as bright and bubbly as the other three.” (Sidebar: Okay…this pal had something nice to say, so let’s pretend he’s real.)

* In a sidebar OuttaTouch has a story about a test screening for Brad’s AOJJ. They say the audiences don’t like the movie and a witness at the screening said 28 people walked out. The witness says, “The movie is long and boring and has little action.” (Sidebar: I guess the witness stood at the door and counted as they left? You know…just so their information would be more valuable when they sold it to a tab…)

* However, Brad’s rep denies it’s a “dud”. I’m assuming this is not Cindy G - the rep says the viewers walked out during scenes that are graphically violent, “They are working on it. This isn’t the exact movie that will be in theaters.” (Sidebar: Hmm..the test audiences hate it, yet all the reviews we’ve seen are glowingly positive, including one review from a well-known director that was posted her a few weeks ago. These people were probably expecting to see “Gunfight at the OK Corral” and got “Unforgiven”.)

* On the caption of a photo of Mad, OuttaTouch says that he will have a part in naming the child. (Sidebar: Mad, dude…stay away from Brad’s architecture books!)

* Under a photo of Shiloh & Brad, the caption is a quote from someone on the set of CCOBB, “It’s obvious Brad loves his daughter. He could not have looked happier spending so much quality time with her.” (Sidebar: I got a feeling Brad is happy spending non-quality time with her, too. The guy is probably wiping her poopy little butt and grinning up a storm…”Look what I made, look what I made!”)

- Star: Story: Brad and Angelina - Two Babies On the Way!

* Star, Star, Star, Star, Star. Ya gotta love ‘em. Because everyone essentially had the same story this week, the Star had to do something to make their story stand out. What could top 1 new kid? Why…TWO new kids, of course!

* Everyone’s story starts out warm-and-fuzzy this week and Star is no exception. According to their sources on the CCOBB set Angie brought the kids to the set to see Brad 5 or 6 days a week. They say the kids would sometimes get bored, but Mad had a drawing pad and entertained himself. Their source says, “Brad would light up when Angie and the kids were there. He would smile a lot more. He and Mad would even kick around a soccer ball during breaks.” (Star: Hmm…5 or 6 days a week, huh? And the photos are where? Cuz, Lord knows they were sure being stalked by enough razzi!)

* Star says that although, as they reported exclusive (and then took back last week, but that’s beside the point) Angie and Brad are adopting a 3 to 4 year old boy from Vietnam. BUT…that’s not the end of their joy! Star has learned EXCLUSIVELY that Brad and Angie are HOPING to have another biological baby by the end of the year. They go on to say that as they reported 2 months ago Angie has stopped taking her birth control pills. (Sidebar: I emphasized “hoping” because that’s what the Star is doing…thowing sh#t at the wall and HOPING it sticks.)

* According to their PAID source who is supposedly close to Brad and Angie, “Brad and Angie are planning on being pregnant as soon as the adoption is complete. They’re going to let nature take its course.” (Sidebar: Mmm-hmmm…I’m sure they’re all into letting nature take it’s course…frequently…and repeatedly.)

* Star says that to some people 2 kids under age 2 would be more than enough to handle, but both have said they want lots of kids and since Brad is 43 they want to complete their family while he’s still young enough to keep up with them. (Sidebar: Here’s the Star’s 1% truth for this week. Angie said as much in several interviews, but if Brad is old at 43, then I need to buy my ass a coffin.)

* All these kiddies may be the reason why the “nomadic pair” has set up house in NO, where they can stay out of the limelight. According to their source, “Angie cares less and less about her movie career and image, and Brad doesn’t care about the showy side of Hollywood.” (Sidebar: Oooh, go Star, up to 2% truth…)

* Star says that Brad is investing a lot interest in NO, particular his Global Green project. A local who’s seen them out walking around the FQ says, “It seems like they want to fit in and be regular. There’s no entourage - just one bodyguard walking behind them - they’re just pushing the baby stroller.” (Sidebar: Go Star, go Star, go Star…up to 3% truth…go on with your bad self.)

* Another source, a cashier at the Cafe Envie where B/A stop for coffee, says, “People don’t really bother them. Brad and Angie are really friendly and they don’t want people to fuss over them. One day Angie was betting someone’s puppy and she said she was thinking about getting a dog!” (Sidebar: Uh…I thought they had dogs in LA? Why not just bring them NO?)

* Back to the adoption, Star speculates on why Angie chose Vietnam - because it’s near Cambodia and the child would have a common background with Mad, who currently doesn’t have anyone in the family he has that in common with, whereas Z and Shiloh - get this - “both have African roots”. (Sidebar: BWWWHAHAHAHAHA! Puh-leeze, b#tch.)

* The Star’s PAID SOURCE says, “Since she has 2 girls, she’d like an Asian boy who can relate to Mad.” (Sidebar: I’m not going to give them the full 1% on this one because I can’t figure out what having 2 girls has to do with getting an Asian child…the boy part I get. So…Star, you’re up to 3.5% truth this week…wanna go for a whole 4%?)

* Star’s source goes on to say that Brad and Angie were both moved to tears by their visit to the Tam Binh orphanage, but Angie is filing as a single because of VN’s rule against unmarried couples adopting, “She really bonded with the children there. Brad is all for it, he plans on giving the child his name, as he did with Maddox and Zahara. He has a strong bond with all of the children.” (Sidebar: Uh, he’s got a “strong bond with all of THE children” because their HIS CHILDREN. HELL-O!)

* Star says their source tells them that Brad and Angie aren’t the only ones in the family adopting right now, that Brad’s sister Julie and her husband are in the process of adopting from Ethiopia. (Sidebar: Riiiiiiight…so you’ve been saying for about 2 years now. To paraphrase that little old lady from the old Wendy’s commercials, “Where’s the kid?”)

* The news of the adoption came as a shock to the director of the Tam Binh orphanage and he told the Star, We’d had no contact from Ms. Jolie since her visit.” (Sidebar: I’m gonna give Star half a percernt for printing this, cuz they could’ve omitted it and twisted the story…so…Star’s up to a whopping 4% truth this week.)

* Star goes on to say that photos of the children will be mailed to Angie before a final decision is made, and the adoption should take up to 4 months to finalize. The orphanage director says, “It will be an enormous boost for us. Having someone as famous as Angelina Jolie adopt from here will be a tremedous value. It means we will get more funding and the chance to change the lives of more kids.” (Sidebar: Good for them…can’t say anything snarky about helping the little kiddies…)

* Because they’d been so nice up to now, Star speculates if B/A are taking on too much with both an adoption and a bio baby. Their PAID SOURCE says, “Brad has always said he wants to have a natural-born sibling. He enjoys seeing himself and Angie in Shiloh’s features. He’ll say things like, ‘She’s got Angie’s pout.’ or “She’s got my blue eyes.’” (Sidebar: Uh, I believe Angie said on Nightline in early 2006 that she’s love to “adopt and buch more, have a COUPLE more,” so she’s obviously not opposed to giving Shiloh a natural-born sibling!)

* It’s now time for Star to trot out their PAID EXPERT, who says managing this many kids, along with working, traveling and humantarian work, can be tricky, “It could have negative implications. If you’re bringing a young child into the family, that takes more time and attention away from other children. If the mother is away from the children, they can’t bond. And traveling can be very rough on children - not having a home or a center can be quite disturbing.” (Sidebar: Soooo…now Angie’s being castigated for something she hasn’t done for almost 5 months…and has no immediate plans to return to. could you at least wait until the woman actually has a j-o-b before you preach doom-and-gloom?)

* Moving in a new direction, Star says that the kids have brought Brad and Angie’s families closer and while Angie was in Africa Jane Pitt came to help Brad with the kids, and since Angie and Jane have an “icy” relationship this is a big step forward. Their PAID SOURCE says, “Things are at a holding point between Jane and Angie. Jane’s just happy she’s getting to bond with the children. Janes’ a very loving woman and treats all the children fairly. She considers them all her grandchildren.” (Sidebar: Still gnawing on that “Jane prefers X over Angie” bone, I see. They’re the ONLY rag to say to this…but, no great shocker there.)

* Star goes on to point out that leaving the children with Jane is a big deal for Angie because as she said in the Vogue interview, she doesn’t trust anyone. Their PAID SOURCE says Angie is “starting to feel comfortable leaving the children in someone else’s care now.” (Sidebar: Uh, get it right Star, Angie said she “doesn’t anyone COMPLETELY”, which is a whole other ball of ear wax. And if she doesn’t trust her children with anyone, then please explain those pix of Z and her NANNY on the beach…without Angie?)

* In a sidebar there’s a little bit of info about the adoption, some of which is covered by all the tabs, but one quote is from someone at an international adoption agency who says, “We’ll check to see how the family feels about being part of a biracial family.” which Star says is obviously no problem for B/A. (Sidebar: Should I give ‘em an extra 1% truth for that? Nah…they’ll only say something stupid later and I’ll have to take it away again.)

* In a completely unrelated sidebar, Star talkes about a wine store that Brad and Angie like to frequent, The Wine Cellar. The owner says, “They’re really down to earth.” Star goes on to say Brad and Cate Blanchett have become very good friends and recently Brad came in with Cate and her husband. They also say that Brad and Cate threw a party for crew at Tommy’s Wine Loft on March 4, and Angelina was there. (Sidebar: I just threw in that “Angelina was there” bit for you losers out there who think Cate B. has a thing for Brad…cuz even if it were true, it obviously ain’t reciprocate. Ya freaking idiots.)

I love how the Star has unwittingly given proof that they make up quotes. They’ve got a huge picture of Brad and Shiloh and the caption reads, “Brad would always light up when Angie brought the kids on set. He would smile more.” Now…contrast that to what they wrote earlier in the story, “Brad would light up when Angie and the kids were there. He would smile a lot more. He and Mad would even kick around a soccer ball during breaks.” Now…did they have 2 people who said basically the same thing, did they paraphrase the original quote, make up one quote, or make up both quotes? You be the judge.

Lifeless & Styleless: Ah…my new favorite tabloid has gone the extra mile again and fabricated an angle to the adoption that no one else came up with…and for good reason, I might add. Story: The Wedding Is On - With their 4th child on the way, Angie tells Brad, I’m ready”.

L&S, like Star, goes for a twist to their story, but at least the Star’s twist is plausible. For various reasons, with a pending adoption, getting married right now might not be in B/A’s best interest. But…

* According to L&S’s PAID SOURCE, a supposed friend of Angie’s, Angie called Brad from Chad and “joyfully” told him, “I’m so happy and I love you so much. Can we get married now?” (Sidebar: ROTFLMAO. That sounds like a line in one of X’s God-awful rom-coms.)

* L&S says that after their recent tough times, Marceline’s death and who could forget the Great Smoking Blowout Fight, a friend of Brad’s says he realizes this is the perfect time to tie the knot. (Sidebar: Oh yeah, that makes sense, “I know we fight like cats and dogs, but…baby, let’s get married!”)

* L&S says that Angie wants all the kids involved in the wedding, including their new adoptee. Their PAID INSIDER says Angie wants the kids “to know that their parents share a deep love. She’s ready to make a lifelong commitment to Brad.” (Sidebar: Could be me, but I think having the man’s baby and letting him adopt her children is one big-ass clue that a “lifetime committment” has already been made. Getting married is like the cherry on top of the sundae!)

* This fiction continues with Angelina planning a “low-key” Spring wedding in the Bahamas where she scattered Marcheline’s ashes. (Sidebar: ROTFL. The Bahamas, huh? Gee, could ya be a little more specific? Like the name of a TOWN? Woops…can’t tell what you don’t know and never make your lie too complicated because it’s harder to undo it later. Someone on the editing staff studied Bullsh#t 101 with the great Bonnie Fuller, didn’t they? You’ve learned well, Grasshopper.)

* L&S goes on to say that the guest list will be small - Angie, Brad, the kiddies, Jamie, the Pitts, a few close friends, and they plan to include the kids in the ceremony. According to their PAID INSIDER, “She and Brad will write their own vows, but she wants a Buddhist monk to perform the ceremony in honor of Maddox’s native religion.” (Sidebar: L&S is like a full moon…once a month they have this exact same story. And it’s about as close to happening as Alice Kramden GOING to the moon.)

* Apparently L&S didn’t learn as much from Bonnie Fuller as I thought because they continue to elaborate on the wedding details - Something from Ethiopia will be included, too. The PAID INSIDER says, “The wedding will be about celebrating theirlove and their family.” (Sidebar: Luv, luv, luv the vagueness here, “something from Ethiopia”…that could be Z! And what about Shiloh? What part of her Namibian culture are they going to include? Do tell, cuz ENQUIRING minds want to know.)

* The caption of the photos of Jane with Z and Shiloh quotes a supposed friend (they don’t specify WHO’S friend, so it could be YOUR FRIEND) as saying, “It’s no secret that she would love for Brad and Angie to marry.” (Sidebar: I love it when the tabs contradict each other! Take that Star!)

* A sidebar story - “X Devastated!” - L&S says that naturally X is hurt by the news of the wedding, but she’s also upset to hear that B/A are adopting again. For the record, X’s rep denied the story, but get real…you know that b#tch is bitter like a mofo. A supposed friend of X’s says, “Jen’s been taking baby steps toward adopting and has been overwhelmed. She’s jealous of how easily Brad and Angie put together a family.” They go on to say that X is determined to adopt and the friends says, “She want to make it happen this year.” (Sidebar: Yeah, X is gonna adopt and I’m going to take up yoga, pilates, smoking, whining, hanging around with my friend so much it puts her marriage in jeopardy, and pity parties. Not. Gonna. Happen.)

* In their SCOOPS section, L&S has come up with another winner - “Brad Poses Nude”. Yep, that’s right…Brad, captured on canvas…in all his nekkid glory. Brad’s rep denies he’s ever posed nude, but L&S’s PAID INSIDER says when Brad had painter Don Barclay paint a nekkid, pregger Angie last year, that Angie had Brad painted, too, “The portraits are a testament to their love.” L&S says this is what Don Barclay told their source and that the paintings will be exhibited “sometime soon”. The source also says, “Angelina wanted a painting of Brad that would live on forever.” (Sidebar: Uh…how is the painting of Angie going to be exhibited when supposedly BRAD has the painting. And if Brad has the Nekkid Angie painting, then you can be damned sure he also has the Nekkid Brad painting. Why on earth L&S dug up this old ass story is beyond me.)

-US: Story: It’s A Boy!

As I said earlier all the mags are into warm-and-fuzzy this week. Janice Min’s story is mostly positive, although she can’t help but get in a few digs here and there. B#tch is so mad at Brad for thwarting her at every turn. Hehehehehe…poor thing…

* US starts out with some info on B/A’s lives in NO, including the March 5th photos of them wallking around the neighborhood pushing Z and Shiloh in the stroller. An eyewitness says, “They stopped and to say hi to all the locals who greated them. They were very neighborly.” (Sidebar: And very accomodating to let the razzi get a few shots of Shiloh so they’ll quit acting like King Arthur hunting for the bloody Holy Grail!)

* Dig #1 - Brad and Angie were wearing matching outfits while strolling the neighborhood on March 5.

* According to an onlooker, “They walked all around the neighborhood, almost in circles. Z and Shiloh just kept eating their snacks and looked like they were happy to be outside.” (Sidebar: Brad & Angie better be careful cuz those two girls are going to eat them out of house and home. They’ll blow their both of their fortunes buying Z and Shiloh in Cheerios and crackers.)

* US speculates that the biggest reason for the kids’ demeanor is their new sibling - a 4 year old boy. (Sidebar: Janice…please. Those two kids are too young to understand their getting a sibling until the kid is in the house everyday…and Z realizes she has to share the Cheerios with someone other than Shiloh. Sh#t is gonna hit the fan when that happens.)

* US says that Angie is currently in the second stage of the adoption, the first being when she filed paperwork with the US Citizenship & Immigration Services during a Jan. 18-19 visit to VN, as first reported by US. (Sidebar: Uh, Janice…I told you this a few week’s ago - LAMEY actually scooped your asses on that. Now how sad is that?)

* An insider, in VN, close to the adoption says, “The kid is normal, healthy and very good-looking.” (Sidebar: Dig #2)

* US goes on to say that Angie submitted as a single because of the unmarried couples rule, the boy is about 1 year younger than Maddox and that Brad and Angie have asked that the boy’s name be kept confidential. (Sidebar: Keep the name confidential? NOOOOO! You’re kidding! Why would they do that?!)

* Speculating about how long the process will take, US says it could take up to 4 months. US says that it’s not that unusual for the rich and famous to try to speed up the process, but according to Nguyen Cong Khanh of the VN Internat’l Adoption Dept. Angie will not be given preferential treatment, “No priority will be given to them. They will be treated equally as any other people.” (Sidebar: It has since been announced by NV officials that Angie’s application has been “fast-tracked” because she had already picked the child out. Let’s see how the tabs spin that tidbit next week. I’m sure they’ll lay it on really thick with the Madge angle.)

* Speaking of Madge, Dig #3 - US says Angie not getting preferential treatment is under scrutiny because of her remarks about Madge writing her own adoption rules in Malawi. They use Angie’s quote about not taking a child away from a country where adoption is illegal. US goes on to quote a VN source who says, “She (Angie) promised to give $2MIL to Tam Binh on the very day she receives the child.” They say it is of note that the actualy fee is only about $125 and that Angie’s rep didn’t respond to their request for a comment and Brad’s rep had no comment. (Sidebar: Poor wittle Janice…still upset that Brad gave People your Z scoop AND the Shiloh photos…and every other important scoop in the last 15 years of his career. B#tch holds a grudge better than X.)

* US says that even though Angie hinted in the GMA interview in Dec that an adoption was pending, she spoke in general terms about deciding which country and balancing the children’s races within the family, but she amy actually have become acquainted with her future adoptee during their Nov. visit to the Tam Binh orphanage. (Sidebar: No sh#t Sherlock?) According to a worker at the orphanage, “The couple passed out toys to the orphans, who were very ahppy and responsive.” (Sidebar: Kid who were happy to get toys? Now there’s something unusual.)

* Us wonders if they paid particular attention to any one child, but their source says, “They played with ALL the kids.” US speculates, however, that Angie may have met with the child away from the orphanage when she was in VN on Jan. 18-19. (Sidebar: It’s absolutely killing Janice Min that nobody will give her the specifics about this kid! Will she sulk for the remainder of the article? Time will tell…)

* According to US Angie & Brad aren’t the only ones excited about the adoption - Jane and Bill Pitt are “already lining up to babysit”. A friend for their’s, Bob Bilyeu, says, “They’re more proud of their grandchildren than they are their own children.” US also mentions that the Pitts recently went to NO to help Brad with the kiddies while Angie was in Chad. Their friend goes on to say, “I always ask how the grandkids are and they say, ‘We just got another one!’ or ‘They’re doing great!’” (Sidebar: Janice ALMOST redeems herself for Dig #3)

* US goes on to say that the Pitts are enjoying their “role” as grandparent and played tourist on Feb 27 by taking the kids - US says all 3 kids and both Pitts were there - on a 1 hour carriage ride arond NO. According to the carriage driver, Charles Duffy, the rocking of the carriage put Shiloh to sleep almost immediately and she slept the ride away in Jane’s arms. The only bad thing about the carriage ride is that Mad is allergic to horses and spent most of the ride rubbing his itchy eyes. Mad apparently told Jane that he had the same reaction in India when he went riding there and Jane distracted him by telling him that since they were being pulled by a mule, which is only half horse, only one eye should itch. (Sidebar: Awww…are the Pitts too cute or what? I’m giving US the benefit of the doubt on any parts of the story where they’re naming the soure as opposed to calling them “an insider,” “pal,” “close friend,” etc.)

* US says there’s no doubt that Brad and Angie - who are very hands-on parents - will “expertly handle” kid #4. They quote Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu as saying, “Brad and Angelina are very down-to-earth people. It is great they are adopting more kids…They are doing what they need to do.” (Sidebar: Not sure why they included this quote…unless they just want to prove that foreigners aren’t up to speed on which American mags they should or should not willingly speak to. Brad, dude…call Alejandro with the 411!)

* Still in warm-and-fuzzy mode, US says that Brad and Angie never let work get in the way of family - case in point, Brad brought Shiloh to the CCOBB set. Brad took Shiloh around to meet the local kids and a witness said, “He dotes on all of his kids. He’s great with the - patient and clam. He was made to be a dad.” (sidebar: Awww…oh, wait…I’m not supposed to believe any quotes where the source is unnamed…ah, what the hell….awwwwww…that’s so sweet! Ya hear that X…the man was “made to be a dad”!…just, thankfully, not of non-existent YOUR kids.)

* Sidebar: How will Mad Feel? US says that another new sib is a lot for Mad to handle. In his 5 1/2 years he’s gone from being an orphan, an only child, having a new dad, 2 sisters and soon a new brother. Time to trot out the expert shrink, who says, “Maddox might be thrilled to have a playmate and a pal or he may feel as though he’s being dethroned as a prince.” Us says that adopting an older child “may bring aggressive, competitive personality” into the mix. The expert’s solution, “Let him know that he’s still going to be loved and now he has someone else to play with.” (Sidebar: That’s right…take it down to a level that a kid can understand…don’t look at it as someone who’s taking Mommy and Daddy’s love away…look at it as…you have someone else you can boss around! God knows that’s certainly how my 5 older sibling treated me!)

* Sidebar: How is Jen Coping? (Sidebar of my own: Who GAFF?)

* Unrelated Sidebar: Brad’s Next Movie A Bust? US is the second tab this week to print this story about the Feb 26 test screening for AOJJ. They say that 24 people walked out of the movie, so I guess this means the person OuttaTouch hired to count the exiters needs a refresher in basic math. According to an insider (they don’t say what the person is inside of), “When people hear it’s about Jesse James, they’re expecting an outlaw movie with shoot-outs, gunfights and horse chases. But this is a psychological profile of a character, and they were bored.” A second source close to the films says, “It’s not a typical western. It’s an art movie. Brad was really happy with the crowd’s reaction.” (Sidebar: This is the reaction you get when you recruit a crowd of movie goers waiting to get into Norbit. Next time…approach the folks waiting to see “Babel”.)

* Unrelated Sidebar: Reality Show Nightmare. According to US maybe one of the reason for the relocation to NO is that A&E is filming a “Flip This House” at a house that overlooks Brad’s Los Feliz compound. (Sidebar of my own: Uh…did they miss the part where Brad was in NO to make a movie?) Brad’s talky neighbor says, “Brangelina’s security have angrily warned show producers not to shoot the house. This is a big note of tension in the neighborhood.” (Sidebar of my own: Why? You don’t live in Brad’s house, so why are you upset that he doesn’t want it being filmed?) Us goes on to say that the show’s producers distributed release forms to anyone who may appear on camera, but their source says, “Jolie and Pitt’s security team is asking neighbors not to participate in the show as well as trying to halt production.” (Sidebar: Let’s see…Brad’s trying to prevent a TV show from unnecessarily filming his house and family of small children, who everybody and their dog wants a piece of? Go Brad. It’s about danged time.)

From Today’s Perez:

Amidst rumors of turmoil in their marriage, Courteney Cox and David Aqruette put on a brave face at the premiere of the new FX show The Riches, Saturday in Los Angeles.

Our body language expert, Dr. Perezian, stopped by The Office* this morning and he would not shut up about these two!

“Look at them,” says Dr. P. “Something is going on there and it’s not good! They’re both actors, yet they’re doing a lousy job of trying to seem ‘happy’ together. Their lips are pursed and their smiles are fake. David is taking the aggressive role, trying to lead Courteney, but she’s disinterested. Their bodies are not in sync. They’re angled at each other, very aggressively.”

Oh well. If they break up, at least Maniston will be a shoulder to cry on and a big chin to wipe the tears away with!

*The Office = The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Sunset and Fairfax in West Hollywood.

How much did ya win?

Angelina is an angel. I just love her. I wish she and her family all of the best.

Marcheline gave her an appropriate name. Angelina means ‘little Angel’.

Thank you Jared. What an inspiring woman.

Oh my God, it just makes me cry to see what is happening to those people. God bless Angelina and the rest of the humanitarians who are reaching out to those precious people. It just breaks my heart about what is going on there.

Hey, I must go now. Gitante: I´ll be waiting for the magazine. Thanks a lot !!! (Can´t wait).

To everybody: love you all. Take care.

Love Angie, Brad and their children!!!

Goodevening everyone. Just got back from watching OSU, my Buckeyes winning the Big 10 Championship and getting the #1 seed :lol:

I’ll try tp catch up… BBL….

yeah, they mentioned them because they have a vietnam program so i got to learn a little bit about what that process is like as well. even though there are reports out that brad & angie are being “fast-tracked”, i think it’s accurate to assume that they started this process shortly after shiloh was born.

RANDOM: I watched ‘The Sting,’ last night on cable - had never seen it. Brad’s resemblance to Redford when he was young, is pretty amazing. Man where he and Paul Newman something. Paul Newman ws like 46 when he filmed this and Redford was like 37
*********************
Brad reminds me of Robert Redford too. Just delicious!

PT, Your summary of the tabloids really was entertaining and funny.

PT: Thanks for the laughs. Once again, your recap never fails to make me giggle. You have alot of talent for ripping these tabs apart…After reading this part, I am wondering about buying stock in General Mills:

* US speculates that the biggest reason for the kids’ demeanor is their new sibling - a 4 year old boy. (Sidebar: Janice…please. Those two kids are too young to understand their getting a sibling until the kid is in the house everyday…and Z realizes she has to share the Cheerios with someone other than Shiloh. Sh#t is gonna hit the fan when that happens.)

Very funny. Yesterday when I went grocery shopping, I looked through them briefly and from that point on, was looking forward to your take on them. The one thing I was glad to see was that they didn’t fit a photo of the X on any of the covers with B&A.

Guli - my Buckeyed friend…Congratulations on being the #1 seed and going to Lexington. Since I can not root for MSU, I will root for OSU for you. Like I said, if we can’t win, you might as well. Hope you had the sunshine that we did today..quite a nice change. We can talk brackets later in the week if you’d like. Maybe we can have a “pick the final four” game and see who gets the most right. What do you think?

Dirty Denise - Didn’t win anything in the card game. Just a friendly game of euchre every couple of months with some neighbors that we otherwise don’t see much of during the winter months.

Greetings on this Sunday evening…watching the Amazing Race and rooting for the Beauty Queens.

ahhh!! the tabloid report! how i’ve missed it! brilliant as usual! and just so you know, i just came from my first international adoption seminar and they actually use the term “journey of love”. cheesy isn’t it?

++++++++

Hey Gitane! I hope your seminar was informative and helpful. Holy crap…you mean they didn’t make up that cheesy line? It’s so bad I figured it had to be made up!

Well done PT you had me cracking up. So does this mean Star wins this week in the truth lottery with 4%?

+++++++++

Nah…I think I’m gonna have to give that to the US this week. They did a pretty good job and Janice Min was able to contain herself to 3 little digs at Brad & Angie. Although, truthfully, that $2MIL upon receipt of the child vs. the $125 fee bit was just ridiculous. The international adoption agencies fees can run up to $30,000, so if Angie chooses to give the orphanage some money…better it go directly to help the kids that aren’t adopted than to line the pockets of the adoption officials. But, they wouldn’t want to say that because it make it seem like Angie is buying a child. Equally stupid is the fact that Angie qualifies for adoption, she’s going to get a child regardless of whether or not she donates money afterwards.

the meeting was very informative, thank you. and there are more cheesy phrases where that one came from!

+++++++++

It’s early yet in the adoption, so I’m sure the tabs will get to them sooner rather than later!

Question-
In some countries you do not get to pick out the child you want to adopt like with AJ and Mad. She even said that she and Brad were presented with a picture of Z and another child and she chose Z. So my question or thought is, are they just specifying the sex and age group they would like a child to be from or did they actually meet a child? My feeling is it is a request.

Hiya Susie! People Mag is saying they asked for a boy between the ages of 3 and 5. So I guess it’s more of a general request. How was your day?

when you adopt internationally, complete your paperwork and are accepted by the country you’ve chosen, you are given a referral–either a picture of a child you’ve been matched with according to your specifications or, an invitation to visit the child in the orphanage. the adoptive parents can accept or refuse the referral.

Susie don’t talk about too hot! We got to 45 today and thought we had a heat wave!LOL They may have met with a group of children and the newest Jolie-Pitt will come from that group.

Thanks gitane. Angie has been in the process for some months now and the Vietnamese officials have said that the adoption will take three months because she have picked the child and according to their law if you chose the child the process is taking less time to be completed. We can’t say if she had a meeting with her soon to be second son or she and Brad picked him from a picture. Maybe she did both
