Angelina’s Adopted Son Coming Soon!
Angelina Jolie’s adoption application is being processed quickly and she could pick up her new 3 1/2-year-old son within a few weeks, Vietnam’s top adoption official said Tuesday.
The adoption is being processed quickly because the boy is an older child, and his files were nearly complete before Angelina decided to adopt.
The boy was abandoned at a Ho Chi Minh City hospital as a baby and is currently at the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.
One orphanage official said of the boy, who likes to play soccer with the other children: “He is in good health. He is a little bit shy.” The Pitt soccer team is on its way!
Angelina has two adopted children — Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2 — and one daughter with Brad Pitt — Shiloh, almost 10 months.

So Brad is really going to have his dream come true: a soccer team on the make. :)
A correction, Jared: Angie and Brad have three children together.
I hope Angie and Brad content their life they live in now .
Thanks Jared for the new thread. This is so exciting!!! Good morning everyone…
Awww……I remember when he said that……..that was really cute……..
They are like the hottest couple ever(aside from me and my bf…j/k)
but that’s my opinion…..
♥SophiaBushRocks♥
Give the king thy judgments and head, O Angelina, and thy righteousness unto the kings biological daughter. She shall judge the poor of the people, she shall save all the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressors. Yea, all Hollywood shall fall down before her: all united nations shall serve her. Turn away mine eyes Ange from beholding negative comments, vanity and hatred; and quicken thou me in thy way divine humanitarian way.

I wonder what they’re going to name him….
Anyway, I’m watching The View and they mentioned the adoption Rosie said that psychologists say that it interrupts the birth order when adopting a child older than your youngest. She talked about her own experience with a foster child she had. Oh and she called Zahara “Baby Zee” which I thought was cute. I believe she was going to say that it’s fantastic that they were adopting again but she was interrupted by Joy asking about her foster child.
It should be a good show Roseanne is on and well, her and Rosie…have a little feud lol

IA. That bothers me it is as if the other kids are not his children and that is so far from the truth. I don’t even know why people feel the need to split the difference by saying adopted children versus a biological one with Brad. I see what Angie means by being protective of Mad and Z in a different way. The way a lot of mags write it is as if they are not his and that makes their job more difficult to constantly re-enforce that they are all loved equally.

Well, if he’s 3 to 4 years old, they are probably going to keep at least his first name. But Maddox had a name picked up, hadn’t he? Sharkboy, maybe? :lol:
Guli, I don’t know why but I’m half expecting him to have an O name so it would be BAMZSO…lol which sounds like a clown name :lol:
ETA: Rosie and Roseanne are getting along pretty well. My bad, I guess the tiff is over.
Smiled, Gussie already posted the link, mine is waiting moderation, so when it pops up ignore it….Sorry for the duplication.
They just mentioned it on the view about the adoption. Rosie said something about messing up the birth order…whatever
Good morning, I am wondering if all this is true, I didn’t know people could talk so openly about someone’s adoption.
not too sure about this but it seems pretty cool that they want to adopt an older child .
This makes me sick. I have a good friend that adopted a foreign child and it took her and her husband a year and a HALF to finally get their son. Ridiculous!
Gussie and Guli - I’m wondering what they’ll name him too. And does he currently speak only vietnamese? only english? both?
How exciting for them!

Regarding ‘interrupting the birth order’ thing…
That seems like an irresponsible thing to say. That seems to foster people’s inclinations towards babies instead of considering older children.
And let’s remember… in blended families, there is a definite need for adaptation and I doubt that this ‘interrupting the birth order’ argument would never be used as an excuse against second marriages/stepfamilies.
These people’s prejudice just gets jarringly blatant, doesn’t it?
Amaya–that is too funny:lol:
Hey Gussie, you may be right, since he is much older than Maddox when he was adopted, he is used to his name now. Darn it, cuiosity kill the cat, I can’t wait!!!
Hiya Susie!

hey jules they started the process in May of last year.

Good morning all! Only have a brief moment, work is busy!
This is wonderful news! Can’t wait to find out the new intial.
On a sadder note Coals dad passed away Sat. it was peaceful and he was surrounded by loved one. She won’t be on for a bit
Julia— also adopting an older child is much easier in most countries since most couples prefer to adopt infants….
Hi Guli, I think they will probably keep his Vietnamese name because kids are used to their name from a very yound age, like 6 months. AJ will probably give him a french middle name though, IMO. I still think it’s a little weird that “officials” are alowwed to talk to press about an adoption and it’s status. Doesn’t seem right to me.
Amaya- do you know if The Office is new this week?
Susie, it’s a rerun this week but they have added more “unseen” footage.

Probably not the first name, though. Just found out that in Vietnam the family name is positioned first, than a middle (intercalary) name and at the end a given name. So if the child is already used to his given name, B&A could keep it as an American first name, then add Maddox’s choice and finally Jolie-Pitt (after Brad adopts the kid in the States).
Sheri— Ohhhh, I am so sorry to hear about coal’s loss. My condolences to you and your family coal. Sheri, if you are in touch with her via email, please let her know.
Sad sad news, Coalharbor’s dad passed away on saturday. She said it was ok to share so that is why I’m posting it.
I’ve been researching Vietnamese given names. A lot of them seem to start with a Q (as in Quang).
Gosh… BAMZSQ :lol:
This is so exciting!!!
Hello all BAMZS ~~ we are all getting a new little boy….. lol
(((((((((((((( CONGRATULATIONS)))))))))))))
People just posted it as well…

Thanks Jared!
This is such wonderful news, and I’m totally happy for them.
I must say, the orphanage official in Vietnam appears to be giving out way too much information. Reminds me of that hotel in India where they had stayed, they gave out their room number, floor, what they ate, when they exercised, etc. I guess information is easy to divulge for the right price.
Its like winning the lottery for the new adopted boy.
I didn’t know Sheri posted it as I was.
Amaya- another re-run! That’s ok, I still laughing from Micheal’s spoof on SNL’s lazy sunday. Give jammy kisses from me.
Gussie— NOOO!!! Please not a “Q”, geez what are we going to call ourselves then ;-) BAMZSQers :lol:

So instead of bitching about it on a message board, educate yourself and work with adoption agencies to make adoptions easier for all qualified persons. Bitching here gets you no where. Next!

Add me to the list of believing that a child is yours be they adopted or bio!
And yes, Angie was right about the way the world would treat Mad and Z. And anyone that that couldn’t understand where she was coming from was just buring their head in the sand!
DNA does NOT make a family!!!!!!
I think Brad really love kid, from Zero kid to 4 kids within 2 yrs. He must be really frustrated when his X refused to give him one while very married for that 4 1/2 yrs.
Susie, my thoughts are with Coalharbor. And I will give Jammy kisses for you!
It still kills me to see bloggers and journalists distinguishing between B&A’s “adopted” children and their “biological” children. They are all their children, end of story.
I think B&A are being so forthright with the details of this adoption because they want to avoid a Madonna-Malawi-type controversy.

Well said..lol

Sorry to bring this up but can someone be on the look out for that Tatiana fool. She must be chomping at the bit to open her pie hole to share her expert coughbullshitcough opinion.
Wow! Great news….can’t wait until their new addition arrives! I bet Mad will be glad to have a little brother to hang around with, and show him how to protect his cheerios from their little sisters. Angelina and Brad will have such a houseful of love!

How old was the child your friends adopted becaus ethat does make a difference? From what I understand in the People mag article Angie and Brad decided on this shortly after Shilo was born. So, the process didn’t just start when the mags found out about it, it had been an on-going process for months.

Go find your idol a job and a man and a new nose while you’re at it. The last one makes her look like the Cowardly Lion.
Amaya, I caught that Bill Maher w/ Mia Farrow and I loved her whole interview, very informative about the Sudan and Darfur - and really liked the end and what she said about Angie that you talked about - how she admired her so much, and that she was doing great things, and Bill echoed this as well. The cute part was when Bill asked her something like how she feels about Angie’s adoptions or if she feels like she’s in competition (jokingly)…and she said something cute about “Brad Pitt” - but Bill was talking over her so I missed it (Grrrr - thanks Bill, lol)…and then Mia said, “well maybe when she has her 9th child, I’ll start to feel more competitive.” The audience all laughed.
Switching gears….
I recently watched Seven again, the DVD two disc that came out in 2000-2001 I think. It is so true that in the midst of his Maniston marriage he was still bitter and angry about Paltry - because during the commentary with David Fincher when Brad’s scenes with Paltrow were on, neither he nor David said boo about the scene being shown with her, or commented on her period. Brad never said one word the entire film. I noticed David almost talked the entire way through Paltry’s scenes about other subject matter - it really felt deliberate too. That’s the kind of stuff, where if Maniston had not been a coattail riding witch who stabbed Brad and Ange in the back…I might feel a little sorry for her that she married a guy while he was so obviously on the rebound….
…but I don’t.
Heh.
:-)
Congrats to BAMZS family…a new addition to the family would be great. Mad will have someone to play rough with.
keeping it real crazy, get over Brad’s failed marriage , you loser. God damn, I am thinking you feel like he cheated on your ass. Brad ran after Angie as soon as he had the chance to cut the old ball and chain off and threw it over board . . . why take it out on Angelina?

Sometimes Isabella and Connor (Tom Cruise older kids) are still called “adopted children”.
I’m so happy because of them!!!
I can’t wait to see their party of six!!!!
God bless them!!!!

First off I don’t know your friends circumstances and whether their adoption that took a year and a half was a first time adoption. Angie is already an approved adopter. She went through well over a year of home studies etc. with Maddox. Once you have most of that done, the subsequent adoptions are easier. She and Brad started the adoption proceedings for this child almost a year ago. She didn’t have to go through the home studies, profiles, background checks etc., as they were already done. And if your friends got a child in a year and a half–that is indeed an excellent time frame since most domestic and foreign adoptions take longer.

It’s nice to know that someone gets it! All the children are Brad and Angie no matter how they arrived in the world.
As I have stated before I find it offensive and an insulting to blended and adopted families. I bet if you asked majority of them they would tell you take they are all their children blood or no blood.
Even Brad said that in interview(s) that he couldn’t picture his live without Mad and Z in it. They are his children and people need to get over themselves who can’t and won’t accept his choices. He is living his life in the manner he sees fit and others should do the same, IMO.
This is great! We’ll all have to get crafty to come up with a new/revision to the moniker for our beloved BAMZS.
There is just nothing better than seeing Brad surrounded by a huge bunch of kids, you can tell he’s loving every minute of it. I just love Angie for making his dreams of a family come true and I think her relationship with him has brought her great peace and stability. Since I can’t have him, well I’m glad it’s her he’s making his life with.
I just only wish that they would get married and make it official and do it with all their little babies surrounding them. That would be perfect.

EXACTLY!!! WELL SAID !!!!
If what I read was true, the kid’s name has already been chosen by his brother Maddox sometime ago. I recall that Angie was saying something about it that she even asked Brad if they would call the next kid with the name which was chosen by Maddox.
I wonder which name was chosen by Maddox.
At the same time, if the kid is 3-4 years old, is it fine to change his name? He should know what his name is already. The Jolie-Pitts might keep his name and add other name as a second name. Who knows?
PLEASE LET’S STOP COMPARING BRAD’S LIFE WITH ANGIE TO HIS LIFE WITH JEN. If we continue mentioning Jen’s name in every single thread, how do we expect the haters not to mention her name on the threads of the Jolie-Pitts? We are the ones who should start doing things before asking the others not to do.
Brad had his life with the other women in the past; it’s his life, his wrongs and his rights. Nobody forced him to do things by force. He took his lessons from his mistakes which he did in his past. Now, he has been sharing his life with Angie and their kids. I can’t see any point to keep on mentioning and comparing his present life to his past.

Hahahaha….look how the haters have revised their nasty accusations…Oh Happy day!! Now it’s no longer ‘cheating,’ by sleeping with Brad while he was with Maniston…but lo and behold, Angie has had the charges reduced to an “emotional & mental affair with a married man.”
Ahahaha!!
Just what pray tell are the penalties for this crime, and how exactly do you go about proving it??
Do you have to have daydreamed about f**king a married man, for instance?
Or is just being close friends with him, laughing and cracking each other up a lot on the job enough to get you painted with the proverbial scarlet letter?

Um, correct me if I’m wrong, but ‘impulse’ and ‘mental and/or emotional affair’ doesn’t jibe.
Impulse implies spur of the moment, maybe something primal and or instinctual.
Mental and/or emotional requires time, investment, contemplation, thought.
So please, explain your line of reasoning {eye roll}…

By the way, when I said Brad didn’t say one word the whole film (Seven) on the commentary - I meant he didn’t say one word about Paltry. Sorry for the confusion. He talked all through it with David Fincher, about the film itself and working with Morgan. He was pretty funny at times.
I have to agree with whoever likes to talk about Brad’s voice…it is amazing. When comparing it to say David’s and the other voices…it’s so deep, and he’s just got his own way of phrasing and speaking. Also for the first time, I really think Shiloh had Brad’s lips even more than Angie’s. There was a shot of Brad sitting in the back of the squad car at the end of the film, and it is totally Shi’s mouth. LOL Brad doesn’t get enough cred for his juicy lips, poor baby.
By the way, Brad convinced them to go with the ending that was shown - they were set to have Morgan kill Spacey’s John Doe! To essentially fall on the sword for Mills, since he was set to retire and Mills had his whole life and career ahead of him. They listend to Brad. Good thing too, as that would have been a big mistake. He also convinced the producers/studio to do whatever it took to land Spacey for the serial killer. See, even way back when — Brad was showing his movie making/producing chops…he is FIERCE baby.
Guli- I forgot what I had to ask you. Definately try to find Theroux’s Dark Star, great informative look at Africa and the problems foreign aid creates, also funny.
The concept of a “mental affair” is a keeper.

I am from the third world (Uganda) too. There have been many UN ambassadors, they come and go (usually of course they change nothing). Angelina approached the UN to be an ambassador at the time when her life was in crisis. So believe it or not, this is all to cultivate a new image. And whereas charity is good, I believe her involvement in the third world problems trivialises them and makes the people who matter escape while the spot light is on her. What changes in Darur when she hugs a child? Does the government start paying more attention? No one has any illusions that the Sudanese government can actually listen to Angelina Jolie (I mean come on be realistic, even if an official met her, he would be thinking of how quick he can get her into bed). I know I may sound ungrateful but please tell me, which country has changed ever since she visited it? Her intentions may be good. But her image and personal life is like a red herring that draws away attention from the real issues. May be people would take her more seriously if there were less cameras and she had nothing to gain like Publicty. I too was disappointed in how she used the Namibian government like than.
Has Namibia changed an Iota ever since? Politicians are greedy, any one will do icluding Ms Jolie am sorry but I do not believe she has done any good for the past six years she has been a UN ambassador. It has benefitted her most. The problem with Americans and the western world is you used too much PR andyou believe everything preached by the media. Africa’s problems do not need Angelina Jolie to reduce them to trivia as she has done for the last six years. Wake up and the people who matter should step in and intervene Urgently!
LIKE I SAY, WHO GAINS MOST? UN OR ANGELINA? THIRD WORLD OR ANGELINA?
Cliniqua, I liked how Mia made the 9th kid joke. And Bill’s been a fan of Angie for awhile now…now if only he would drop Ann Coulter. :angry:
I ‘m not be surprise if the haters coming more cruel to Jolie-pitt family because they thought Angie’s career be destroyed however, she becomes more powerful in the world. They refuse to admit they are loser even though visibly they knew Angie and Brad already won everything.

Well her main purpose when visiting those countries is to raise awareness. That’s the first goal. The paparazzi always follow Angie, and the tabloids report about her doings whether they are true or not. So when Angie goes to these places and talks about the issues, it raises awareness because the tabloids which should be writing about important stuff like this instead, ARE writing about it. It raises awareness, and maybe someone who doesn’t know about the issue will gain knowledge. The more educated people are, the more change will occur. The more people will want to help, now that they are aware or given an idea of what is really out there in the world.

#51 Keeping It Real
This post was so out of left field that i actually tried to think of what married man was the cause of this quote . I even thought that that was a person that I defintely had not read about that was the cause of this mental and emotional transgression . But then when I read subsequent responses I began to realize that they might have been writing about her involvement with BP . This is ridiculous . What was reported to anyone wanting to be informed was that AJ and Bp did not become involved romantically until he had extricated himself from his marriage , which he was happy to do since there was no marriage in the real since for at least 2 years before the necessary divorce . So there was no mental or emotional affair . These haters make up things and skew things so much that you have to work at refuting most of the trash that is put out as truth .
Oh no, Coal’s father passed away? My deepest condolences to her and her family, I prey for them in this difficult time. Cancer is a beast.
Woman- It is sad to hear you write such an ugly post when Angelina is doing her work to raise awareness of countries that are have people that are being maimed, slaughtered, robbed, raped…..the list goes on and on. Angelina’s job as a Goodwill Ambassador is to raise awareness to areas that may be forgotten or have been. How many people were paying attention to Darfur before she brought it into the spotlight, not many. I believe that her goal is to get the attention of people from 1st world countries so they can donate money, write their governments to take notice of this ugliness and hopefully in the end provide some safety and decent living conditions for these people. Why you have to take a good deed and make it ugly is beyond my thinking. I feel sorry for you. Also, Namibia did get new hospital equipment so dr.’s can take better care of pregant women.
Susie—many thanks for all the titles, like I told you before I stock up on them before I leave. Ohhh, btw it is 72 degrees here right now which is unheard of in the middle of March!!! So, you can’t make me jealous today about your weather :lol:
Hiya Medi,Meli, Briseis, bermy girl— how are you ladies today?
Gussie–yep tha’s a keeper all right. I didn’t pay attention until Clini brought it up ;-) I am getting good at skipping haters posts but that was too funny. Leave it up to Clini to zero in on that.
Hey Clini—ITA Brad does’t get enough attention re his lips (especially when he licks the bottom lip) as you would say it “swooon”, but he must be in heaven going from no lips to Angie’s lips (sorry I had to sneak that in, OK I’m bad) :-( I honestly can’t tell re Shi’s mouth, but eventhough she has Brad’s eye color, brows and cheeks, the eye shape is all Angie IMO…
Another thing that frustrates me with the Maniston fans is how they always call Angie a homewrecker. I mean nobody REALLY KNOWS what went on, and at the end of the day ITS NOBODY’S BUSINESS. Until we get confirmation from all 3 people that adultery did occur, then we can judge. Until then we have no right because their personal lives are none of our business in the first place. Plus for Maniston fans, the source of their information is from the tabloids that always make up BS.

Brad Says:
Classy .. well said using the lords name in vein such a great post. NOT! Glad to see that your man (if you have actually landed one) has mental affair with someone else, what to lower your standards to snag a guy.
————-
Oh, I think I hit a nerve. I guess I was right about you feeling like Brad cheated on you. Lmao How Pathetic.
Chiniqua … I wouldnt waste the post. I never read yours I see your name and scroll. You are so boring and a fraud.
Guli- I would trade 72 degrees in a heartbeat for the hellish hot weather we had the past couple if days! BTW, are you going to get the “Britney Spears” haircut? LOL
I wonder what his name is going to be:
How about Marchelin, after her mother. Or Marchelino.
Any votes on a name?
That means, we would now be BAMZSM!
I like the name Orleans after the city they have grown to love. Name for the new son!
BAMZSN??
They are being smart about when to adopt and the ages.. I think this is sweet, he can play soccer with mad! can’t wait to see a new addition to the beautiful family!
Hi Guli!
Dear Woman (#84), you are a poor excuse for one. Especially when you jealously attack such a dynamic young woman who has been working on behalf of the less fortunate throughout the world for the last 7 years. Simply put, you suck. As for what she’s done - her accomplishments as a UN Ambassador are concrete and documented, whether it’s helping fund any one of more than a half dozen projects (Millienium Villages which brings income and revenue to villages and sustains the people, Cambodian Maddox Chivan Project funded solely by her that provides AIDS medicines for inflicted youngsters that would be dead otherwise, Her environmental/forestry project in SE Asia, her Namibian donations of over 2 million dollars to the medical facilities thats eve the impoverished there or lobbying to get the ‘Unaccompanied Minors’ bill passed through Congress…the list goes on and on) Those are just a few of the reasons she was honored as UN Global Humanitarian of the Year and why she has been nominated to sit on the Council for Foreign Relations.
So by all means, keep b*tching just because she happens to have Brad Pitt and his babies, an Oscar and great beauty — but don’t think you aren’t obviously showing your true colors by denigrating all that this young woman does.
I guess if YOU had your way, Angelina would be just another useless Jen Aniston in some salon somewhere in Beverly Hills reading the STAR tabloid magazine, crying in her chamomille tea about boob job stories, and getting a pink & white mani pedi, for fear of what a few jealous embittered broads like yourself might THINK of her humanitarian work.
Shyeah…God forbid she call attention to Darfur’s genocide when she could be getting a brazillian.
Are you out of your pea pickin’ mind??!!
Thankfully, she’s got more character and intelligence than to listen to you jealous hos - AJ could give a damn what hateful negative worthless people like yourself, who bizarrely want to stop her good work — have to say about anything. So keep talking to the collective hand, dummy.
Cliniqua, I found a transcript of Mia and Bill and according to who ever wrote she says, “Let’s not even get into the Brad thing..” What is that suppose to mean?
Here’s the transcript..
MAHER: And we heard today on the news, Angelina Jolie is going to adopt another child, I think, this one from Vietnam. Do you think that she’s sort of your spiritual heir in the “adopting foreign kids” game?
FARROW: I have nothing but admiration for Angelina Jolie.
MAHER: Me too.
FARROW: And, you know, God bless her. She’s doing great things.
MAHER: But, if she does—
FARROW: [overlapping] Now, when she gets to her ninth child, I’ll see if I feel competitive. [laughter] [applause]
MAHER: Right. If – if she breaks your record—
FARROW: [overlapping] Let’s not even go into the Brad thing.
MAHER: [overlapping]—will you cheer her on, or will you be like Dan Marino, you know, kind of like…
FARROW: [she laughs] I’m on her side all the way.
MAHER: [overlapping] And what if you find out that she used steroids to do it? [laughter] I’m kidding you, of course. Listen, thank you so much for doing this.
FARROW: We’re way off topic.
MAHER: I know. But thank you for coming on—
FARROW: [overlapping] China. China, Olympics.
MAHER: [overlapping]—and sharing this with us, and making America look at this issue. Mia Farrow, thank you very much.
FARROW: Thank you. Thank you. [applause] [cheers]

Susie— you know I was thinking of a buzz, but hubby talked me out of it :lol: :lol: geez next I’ll be attacking neigbors car windows with an umbrella. Come on give me some credit, geez like R. Dangerfield would say “I get no respect” :lol:
I also like that they are adopting an older child. The tendency is for most people to want to adopt newborns without realizing toddlers and older children are in need of parents as well.
I am liking the name Orleans more an more.
Orleans Marchelin Jolie-Pitt!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. That’s my pick for a name.
Keeping it real: Your grammar is pathetic. Give me a break- of course you read Cliniqua’s post to you. Because it is the only attention you get. How sad for you that you get no affection or attention at home. You are a misogynist pig. Now if you could just figure out a way to get a date. I will try to come up with some helpful hints to you and get back to you ASAP. Sounds like you are a woman on the verge….
Hi Guli.I’m fine,thanks.I was thinking,how about another ouzo party,when the new member will be added to the family?You’re so good in organising this kind of things.

You know what, people like you need to lighten up. Live and let live, you will be happier that way.
Nobody here cares about your friends business. We are talking about our BAMZS’s here.

That should be the name of the new addition to the Jolie-Pitt family :)
My pick :)
greetings from Holland,
Good evening, morning guys, a beautiful day in Holland, sunshine outside, thanks Jared for the new threads and congratulations to Brad and Angelina for the new addition in their family.
to Woman : if you come from Africa, its sound like you’re not proud as an Africa, why don’t you learn from Angelina Jolie who is always proud for Africa, and help alot for Africa and give her child birth in Africa, don’t read about Angelina Jolie from USA tabloids because they are not writting about Angelina Jolie the truth, they never writting about Angelina Jolie working for Africa.. please be proud as an African.
guys, i just saw an old vid of Brad ( thanks la miga - you are also my fav ) when he was promoted film of Spy Game, thats very funny that Brad can good jokes maker, like Angie said Brad jokes is goofy, yes he is…
Lenny:
I cannot believe that the work of the UNHCR or any other organization that is trying to stop the horrible atrocities and terrible situations in these countries are not appreciated . Are we to actually believe that AJ wants the pr for her career ? Are we to believe that the surffering of these milllios of people that she has seen in the last 6 years is only to shore up her career ? Why has she donated so much of her time , energy, and money ? She could cultivate a new image by just going shopping on rodeo drive and smiling . It doesn’t take much in this country to turn public opinion . No she doesn’t pass laws , send armies into troubled areas , or change the econmic situation of a country . But she does give the situations a much needed level of publicity that could spur action from those who are in a position to effect change . That includes informing the people who would make the politicians react to popular demands .
Brad
LOL .. impossible for you to hit a nerve funny, just shows how tacky you are.

Woman
Angelina approached the UN to be an ambassador at the time when her life was in crisis.
++++++++++++
Another one of those ill-informed, mis-informed, bitter, envious, judgmental self-conceit. Angelina did not request the UN to give her an ambassador role.
Woman, learn to research and comprehend. Since you are lazy to do your homework, here is something for your brain cells to work on … an excerpt from an article (interview) in Forbes.
Her awakening began in early 2001, when the self-styled “sheltered Los Angeles kid,” the daughter of actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand, began reading United Nations reports on global poverty and refugees. She approached UN officials, hoping to help but wary her offbeat image might get in the way. They sent her to paparazzi-free zones: hot spots Sierra Leone and Tanzania. In 2001 the UN High Commissioner for Refugees wanted to make her a goodwill ambassador, but she told UN officials in Geneva: “I don’t think you want me. There’s a lot of bad things written about me and my behavior. I could have a negative effect on your operations.” They gave her the title anyway.
Hey Amaya! Thanks for that transcript! :-) I did miss some parts! But she must refer to Brad twice then, because it seems like I recall she said his name before the ‘9th child’ bit. I’ll have to pull it up on on demand and listen to that part again later!
Guli- no umbrella attacks with scary, scary eyes bulging out. She looked possessed in those pics. lol
hanna- I was looking for you yesterday, Happy Birthday to your son!! :)
now I’m off BBL
KEEPING IT REAL: Why don’t you go volunteer at an orphange?

Team Lara Croft—Orleans sounds good, but then we would be BAMZSO’s fans, somehow it just doesn’t sound good, but better than a “Q” or another “Z” :lol:
to Susie and Guli,
Do please give my condolance to Coalharbour.
I am fine, thanks for asking. And you ladies?
We are going back to Strasbourg for 3 weeks. Gosh, we shall be frezeeing up there.
Good for them and to the lucky child. They are great people and they will give to their new baby all the love that the child deserves. :)

Thanks Jared for the new thread. I still think the Vietnamese officials have big mouths concerning all their comments about a private matter concerning the adoption. I wonder if the little boy speaks French.
From the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ site, AGAIN:
Goodwill Ambassadors communicate the message of respect and compassion for refugees to the general public in a uniquely powerful way; they capture massive public attention through public events, television shows, radio interviews and popular magazine articles.
They effectively use their privileged access to mass media and other resources to give a voice to refugees, who are often victims of forgotten humanitarian crises and who often suffer from uninformed negative stereotyping.
Goodwill Ambassadors also voice their support for refugees in meetings with world leaders, diplomats, teachers, national and community officials, as well as the public at large.
It seems that AJ is doing exactly what she has been appointed to do. And better than anyone else.
Curiously, no one questions the institution (UNHCR) or the post (GA).
Curiously, no one questions the work of the other Goodwill Ambassadors.
Only Angie…
So transparent these trolls.
I think we should come up with another name that represents the Jolie-Pitts. With all the children they plan on having the format we use now to symbolize them will soon be confusing.
Does anyone still care? She could adopt 20 kids and it’s going to be like, “Oh yawn, there she goes again.”
Looks like Brad is a man of his word- he said last year that they wanted a soccer team. Also I wanted to say this on the other thread but didn’t get a chance to post - I imagine Angelinas trip to Chad was especially difficult for her, seeing such things and coming so soon after the loss of her Mother. I lost my Dad years ago and still have a bit of a weird feeling visiting Hospitals even now, so extra kudos to her for that. And I am very upset to read the news of (my cyber friends) Coals dad- please pass on my thoughts and love to her at this very sad time.
SO sad to hear about the passing of Coal’s dad.
My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Coal and her family.
————————–
So glad to hear that the Pitts will have the new addition to their family very soon.
Maddox must be in heaven. Someone he can really play with. The girls are likely into dolls….
Thanks JJ for the new thread.
Must get back to work now…..

As Cliniqua would say: you’re so BUSTED!!!
And everybody cares, really. Just browse the celebrity mags, sites and blogs, even the “serious” press… everybody is talking about the new adoption. :lol:
hi susie,
thank you , he is 7 years old, he had from me a small blackboard (because he loves plays as a teacher) , inline skates, and the last trucks toys and he will get his party this friday, sorry i was working night shift and this morning a bit grocery for friday.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I kinda like “BAMZSO” actually - has a cute ring to it. Orleans is just so symbolic for manyu reasons.
If looking for a Q or Z name, they may pick a Vietnamese name that stars with these letters. Here are some Vietnamese names that I thought were nice:
Quang: clear, brilliant; good reputation
Xuan: spring
An: peace, peacefulness
Hien: nice, kind, gentle

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Don’t know who Coal is but prayers and thoughts go out to her/him as well.
I personally think the press and public should give it a rest on how many kids they have (be it by adoption, bio or both). They both have repeatedly said they want a soccer team, and/or 7 kids, i.e., a LOT…so until they get to at least THAT number, they should give it a rest with the ‘expert’ opinions, snide remarks, or polls…one of those dumb rags even had a poll on the first page (I think it was In Touch) - ‘Will 4 kids be too much for Brad and Angelina to handle?’ The dummies responded with like 80% yes 20% no. Yeah, exactly - who ARE these people?! Not only are they movie stars with time, money and resources - they love kids….and they also are not making 10 bucks an hr on an assembly line working 12 hours a day.
Is it just me, or is anyone else tired of fcukers jumping on this board and taking their anger out on Brad and/or Angelina on behalf of someone who has nothing to do with these two? And the fact that the third party’s situation, which no one except the alleged ‘outraged’ is privy to, is being used in a manipulative way?

I am shocked that you are a fan .. reread her vogue interview
“Because of the film we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, God, I can’t wait to get to work. Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts—anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair. And it took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we’d earlier allowed ourselves to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration.”
“We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things. And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends—with this realization—for a long time. And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do.”
End of shooting he was still married and why is they contemplating thnking themselves as a couple he is still married?? I dont care how you lower your standard to justify this relationship, you are shallow like everyone else. You justify it because they good looking but their behavior and lying is unattractive. Seriously, I would of had more respect if they would of just came out and said they were instead thinking everyone is dumb (well apparently they knew some dummies would buy the myth, which they are all know as brangelina hags) and believe their lie. Idolize low standards all you want .. shame on him for not waiting to get mentally involved and shame on her for allowing herself to fall for a married man esp since she “claims” she hates her father for that very reason ..
134# is 2years now, is not your divorce and brad is not your husband.Move on or get a life.

You seem to have left out a few lines in between the two paragraphs where she said after they realized it was more than they allowed themselves to believe they talked about it and she went her way and he his. She was content on being a single mother to her son, she wished him well. It was after he seperated that your second paragraphs picks back up that they they contemplated rather they should take a shot at a relationship, at being a couple. But I’m sure you left that out intentially.
End of shooting occured after the legal seperation and right before the divorce was filed. I thought what Angelina said in Vogue was great. They clearly did not have an affair while Brad was married.
Woman from Uganda
So let me get this right,
The African Govt is still corrupt, the war is still going on, refugees are still displaced….so what in the world as AJ done? Well, let’s see….the very fact that you are having a discussion about Darfur today, as opposed to last week or the week before when you didn’t even remember there was place called Darfur where people are dying everyday, is a plus to AJ’s visit.
People would love to forget about Darfur, I mean who wants to have the image of dying people in their heads? The powers that be would love to turn a blind eye to these people and the govt there would love to pretend everything is just peachy…but it isn’t and now some people know it isn’t because AJ and others like her, who refuse to allow it to remain in the shadows. So for you to say she trivializes things is appalling. I believe what you really mean is that YOU find it trivial, YOU don’t think it’s important and that my Fellow “African” is YOUR problem not AJ’s doing. Thank goodness, there are still some of us…Africans and Non Africans who haven’t built an immune system to suffering and death.
Oh and the idea that everything is should be immediately fine because she visited the place is quite frankly….a little foolish. It’s taken years and years for the situation to become what it is and you expect it to be erased in a moment? Seriously?!!!
This part of your post -Even if an official met her, he would be thinking how fast he can get her in bed should have tipped me off about the kind of immature person you are. The fact that you’ve got sex on the brains does not mean everyone does.
A little light reading for you. Thank God, some people see the importance of her work.
Celebrities Help in Darfur, Sudan Celebrity Activist Response to Crisis
By Angelina Crowley
Published June 03, 2006
May 1, 2006 in Washington, thousands of demonstrators joined celebrities and lawmakers at rally to push the U.S. government to stop the genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region. A crowd chanted “Not on our watch” at the National Mall. Speakers such as Actor George Clooney, Senator Barack Obama, House Democratic Leader of California Nancy Pelosi, Nobel Peace Prize Elie Wiesel, Olympic Skater Joey Cheek.
Celebrities are called to contribute a helping hand in Darfur, Sudan against atrocities that are happening to the Sudanese people, such as Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney are activist in the campaign for saving Darfur. Celebrities willing to risk their lives and time for their beliefs and humanitarian needs seem to be the only priority in this matter. It’s not just about being a big star or making a million dollar budget movie. But for once thinking about others and the world we live in where any danger is possible.
Angelina’s Activism
Actress Angelina Jolie who is in progress of having her baby has gone to places like Sudan, Sierra Leone, and attended a refugee camp in Pakistan that are in devastation. As part of her job as being a goodwill ambassador. For almost an 20 long hour plane ride on a private jet, Angelina accompanied by her companion Brad Pitt and two children Maddox and Zahara. Jolie was no beauty queen, when having to wear a dress with a head cover, a pair of mountain boots for mountain climbing and having to share a tent with other aide workers. But the star manages to beautify herself when she gets a chance from working out in the fields.
Jolie has stepped up to campaign to save lives for the people of Darfur by advertising in USA Today explaining the past killings of 400,000 civilians by the Sudanese government. “The situation in Darfur has been going on for too long. It’s only getting worse. Reports are pouring in about mass atrocities including children getting raped and killed. If people are aware of the facts, I believe many will be driven to action” says Jolie. She asks those interested in the campaign to visit the web site http://www.genocideintervention.net.
Bono’s Work For Africa
Visiting Ghana, West Africa where people are dying of disease and poverty. Rock star Bono is using his humanitarian efforts is determined to help the African people for a good cause. He has spoken in press conferences and has asked the wealthy to pledge their support. The 46 year old rock star of the group U2 has always played a part in activism in Africa. Since performing on Live Aid concert in 1985. He’s not only just a rock star but like an hero to the people of Africa. He is indeed founder, spokesman, and chief benefactor of DATA, a nonprofit debt-relief advocacy group. One of DATA’s goals is to reduce African debt allowing more money to mend health care and education.
Bono has spoken to the Senate Appropriations Committee about international AIDS funding in 2004. But unlikely would have not received funding from Treasury Secretary Paul O’ Neil who had refused to meet with the rock star but after a scheduled half-hour session, the secretary had a change of mind. “He’s a serious person. He cares deeply about these issues, and you know what? He knows a lot about them.” says Treasury Secretary.
Despite of their differences the two convince each other on finding ways to best help Africa’s poorest nations. Bono’s quest is to continue lobbying the united states to help the world’s poorest country. Probably is next to be an ambassador who strives the will for hopeful and understanding for the world to see with their own eyes and to seek Bush’s promise of a $10 billion dollar increase in foreign aid. As a rock star and humanitarian, Bono puts aside his rock star lifestyle and perhaps he can teach younger generations and they can learn from him.
“If people are brave and bold enough to begin a new relationship with improvised nations, there will be popular support” says Bono.
Clooney Goes to Washington
George Clooney witnessed the violence in Darfur and has become a powerful activist and voice in Washington to end the genocide in Darfur, and was on a long trip traveling with his father and journalist, Nick Clooney. Having returned from a week in southern Sudan and eastern Chad where they met with dozens of individuals who fled the brutal and conflicted region to seek refuge and also having seen the atrocities of 2.5 million people. They teamed up with the IRC (International Rescue Committee) that provide mobile medical services for communities struggling to recover for more than 20 years of civil war between the North and South.
Clooney went to Washington lobbying for more U.S. aid to end the violence against Arab milita. He has parted with senators, politicians, celebs, and journalist to join him in the campaign and demanded a rally at the National Mall, where 75,000 people showed up and where Clooney voiced his beliefs. “If we turn our heads and look away and hope that it will all disappear, then they will - all of them, an entire generation of people. And we will have only history left to judge us” says Clooney at Washington rally.
The conflict in Darfur has witnessed some of the worst human rights abuse such as systematic, ethnic cleansing, murder, rape, torture, and enslavement. There were reportedly about two million people who were driven from their homes and having to face starvation and disease. The Sudanese government and Arab militas are preventing humanitarian aid to reach the Sudanese people. Not only that but village crops haven been destroyed and water contaminated with poison.
Darfur’s history for almost three years of Arab milita killing around 300,000 Africans and millions left homeless in a remote dessert region in Western Sudan. George Clooney and his father urge that more activist and Americans donate money for refugees and petition the White House to increase funds to international peace keepers at savedarfur.org. “I must say George Clooney by the looks of his pictures in PEOPLE magazine, has the possibility to be a politician in office. Whether it be a representative or Senator himself.”
To stop these genocide’s we must be aware of the actions that go on in our world by becoming an activist in our very own way. Star power is impacting lives to bring hope and peace and to embrace individuals. They too are advocating support and for you to join them in the fight against injustice, poverty, and sickness and just like anyone wants to see a world a better place.

And just for the heck of it.
Enjoy….
The week was a typical one for actress Angelina Jolie. In the United States, she made the cover of every major magazine that traffics in celebrity gossip, all because of her romance with Brad Pitt. People (”Brad & Angelina Together in Morocco!”), Star (”Why Armed Guards Stormed Their Bedroom!”) and the other tabloids spared no expense to get juicy details of Jolie’s new affaire de coeur.
The movie star had little time to pay heed to the titillating headlines, nor was she likely to see them on newsstands in Sierra Leone, the impoverished African country where she spent the week of May 9 meeting Sierra Leone’s president and survivors of the country’s 11-year civil war.
Jolie’s confab with Ahmad Tejan Kabbah was historic, says one witness. Kabbah opened the meeting to civil rights groups in Sierra Leone (one of the few times he’s ever done that), pledged to work with the organizations in the future and committed himself to responding to recommendations from the country’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Kabbah might not have taken any action were it not for the actress, says Gavin Simpson, a Sierra Leone activist who worked with Jolie during her visit to the West African country.
An example of star power? You bet.
On international issues, the tattooed, 30-year-old actress has greater clout than many U.N. diplomats with Ph.D.s. Jolie opens doors wherever she goes, whether it’s a small country near the African equator or the capital of the United States, where Jolie has met some of Washington’s top policy-makers to discuss refugee issues.
“I see Angelina as the perfect humanitarian advocate,” says Simpson, a member of the activist group Witness, in a phone interview from Sierra Leone. “She brings an immense amount of international focus and attention with her, but she never seeks to use it for her own benefit. On the contrary, she sends the spotlight directly to civic society advocates and makes them more effective and powerful in their own society.”

The reason that I don’t belive is because if you are from Africa, you should be glad that Angie trying to put light on the refugees.. YOu have to realize that any attention that shine upon Africa that can bring more help and aids you should be thankful for it… Like one of the poster said.. if you’re from Africa, then you don’t sound to be proud of being an African… Or that you forgot that there are other African that need help.. since you are able to Bog here on this Forums, it mean that you are no longer living in Africa, and have forgoten your fellow African…
Keeping it real:
I hope that whenever there is a thread on Kate H and Owen W, or Julia R, that you keep up that moral flag of yours and keep on reminding them and the world that they had committed adultery, since Kate H was married when she hooked up with Owen W, and Julia R was engaged to Benjamin B and her cameraman husband Danny M was MARRIED to Vera Moder when they had their affair. Otherwise, I would start thinking that your double standard was only for Brad and Angelina.
why are some people searching when BA got together to proove they had an affair?
this ex couple didn’t have any child , Brad will soon have four: it is OBVIOUS, that it was a BIG issue;
JA was not Brad’s daughter that he must have an eternel duty with her , WTF!!

Brilliant post and so on the money.
There are only two issue I have with Brad. He never shows his emotions or PDA for Angie. He always talks about his kids instead. Also, he has so many films he’s acting/producing in one after the other. He never takes a break to be with the family. I’m anticipating Angie’s films, not Brad’s which are like 10.

Amen erica. LOL
But just for the sake of argument, ‘Keeping it Jealous’ needs to understand that “the shoot,” on Mr. & Mrs. Smith was STILL GOING ON long AFTER their ‘official’ separation in January ‘05 (they were unofficially DONE according to Maniston’s own words Summer of ‘04), and more importantly, the shoot continued on AFTER she filed for divorce in March ‘05. The closing ‘therapy session,’ was said to have been rushed wet to the premiere (the premiere was in June of 2005). So when Angelina says ‘later in the shoot’ - she is referring to a time when Brad and Maniston were already toast - and burnt toast at that (officially separated and divorce papers filed).
‘Keeping it Jealous’ just likes to play the semantics game — she knows damn well, that after a couple officially separates and files for divorce they are considered single people, and live as such.
Maniston and Vince Vaughn themselves were seen ******** around on hotel balconies before the divorce was finalized - so quit playing games, and looking for reasons to hate Angelina.
U R Just Jealous - and ya know that!
Reese Witherspoon is hooking up with Jake Gyllenhall and she’s not divorced, Ryan Phillipe is with assorted starlets, Kate Hudson is with Owen Wilson, Her husband is with someone, Britney has been with no less than two men, and she’s not yet divorced…ditto old time Hollywood; Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Liz Taylor, Marilyn monroe, Ingrid Bergman, Sophia Loren, Spencer Tracey and Katherine Hepburn were together most of his life while he remained married to his first wife….if you spewed your venom at everyone and anyone who was not yet ‘officially’ divorced, yet was dating someone you’d be a fire breathing dragon 24/7. But at least you’d be consistent.
Did it take the same amount of time for Jen to adopt her nose? Does she have to register it with the police since it is a weapon? Oh yeah Katie Holmes is 2 months preggers
Back for a minute- I just got my Newsweek and they have a good size picture of AJ on the contents page and then…. open to the page and they have a huge picture of her holding that little boy who was tethered, a full page and a 1/2. And, she got a whole 4 pages devoted to her. Not too bad….:) Go Angie!!!!! (this is a must buy)
hanna- I’m glad he had a good birthday and have fun at his party, my boys love trucks too.
On the first link, they’ve got a sidebar for something they call “Takeaways”. Uganda woman, I STRONGLY recommend you take the last part with you….
1) A thousand voices can make a better difference. A million voices would make a much better difference
2) In this day and time, where war-ravaged countries are still going on, we must find a solution
3) Be informed and informing others
Our world today is beset by many harsh realities- the Iraq war, genocide in Darfur, the neverending Israel-Palestine conflict, AIDS, poverty, tribal atrocities to name a few. What Angie and Brad are trying to do in their own “little” and humble way is to help in any way they can. They increase awareness that would pave the way to solutions. To some who can’t let go of the past and are so narrow minded, please don’t stand in judgement to people who are making a difference in this world.
To Brad and Angie, I wish them the best as they welcome their new son to their growing family. I can only see good things happening to them, their kindness, their love for family, their commitment and devotion to each other will defy any backlash and prejudice by some.
Good Morning Ladies, Thank you JJ for the great news. Congrats to Angelina and Family.
I think the little boy will have all full American name like Z and M ( both Z and M had their name change completely when adopted by Angie).
Go Bamzs!!!
It bugs me how the Maniston fans treat this as if they’re the only couple who commited adultery, if they really did….There are dozens of celeb couples out their in the media that have the same story, yet they never get bashed because of it. It makes me wonder why these Maniston fans are attacking Angie is particular (They never attack Brad).
A big empty home , fulfilled with X’s bottox friends , so boring that he had to go out;
Now he has a growing family and home fulfilled with joy and happiness;
God bless

I’m not really a Brad fan. I only like him because he’s dating Angie. I’m a Angie fan.
Officials in Ho Jen Chin Man City are reviewing Aniston’s file and should complete their work by the end of the month at the latest, said Doc Long, director of Los Angeles International Nose Department.
Aniston can pick up the Nose anytime after the application is approved, he said.
The nose was abandoned at a Ho Chin Man City Hospital as a lump of tissue and then taken to the nearby Big Chin Man orphanage, where it has lived ever since, said Mini Van mom, the orphanage director.
Shortly after it arrived at the orphanage, the Big Chin Man staff tried unsuccessfully to locate the Nose’s creator but they couldn’t
“It was in good health,” Mom said. “It is a little bit dry.”
The nose gets along well with the chin and loves to sniff.
The adoption is being processed quickly because the nose is older , and its files were nearly complete before Aniston decided to adopt.
Aniston and has three chins- 5-year-old Chin One, adopted from Leprechan; 2-year-old Chin2, adopted from Rumor Has it; and another Chin, who was just born.

If you’re making fun of Maniston, you’re just being as low as the Brangelina fans. As Brad and Angie fans, If we want the Maniston fans to stop, we should stop trying to mention her or make fun of her.
Anonymous:
I think Brad is more than “dating Angie”. He’s her partner, her baby daddy, her occasional boss (such as in AMH), and the love of her life.
Oh, here we go…
The disenfranchised Fanistons and the disenchanted Angelina fans ‘coincidentally’ come out of their holes whenever something good happens to both Brad and Angelina. Their happiness fly in the face of ‘karma’ channelers and stifles the Angelina fans who call on her to be their example of independence and solitary living.
Do us a favor… get off of your sanctamonious @$$es and carve out your own destiny, using Angelina as either a positive or negative example.

—————————–
Um, what are you talking about - I’m sitting here looking at no less than 3 mag covers with Brad planting a big smootchon Angie at the Globes, and another with him nuzzling her forehead and smiling down into her cleavage, not to mention kissing in the Paris bakery, hugging while playing with Mad in the park, grabbing AJ’s ass as he comes out of their plane in Vogue, practically sitting in each other’s laps at the GG’s, caressing and touching and plaming bootys at the TGS premiere and all up and down the GG red carpet….please, what do you want to see, them humping each other in the middle of Times Square (well, we all do — but that’s not the point).
The point is, given the way these two began, the smear job campaign and back stabbing that Brad’s x and her PR agents orchestrated (creating the infamous ‘triangle’) - understandably and initially, they played it cool…but now, the gloves are off - Maniston has had her 2 year pity party, replete with whining and crying in Oprah’s bazooms. It’s over, Angie and Brad have been showing the world how in love they are for some time now…where have you been? These two don’t even let go of each other at events now.
As for Brad spending time with his family - again, have you been under a rock? The entire family has been inseparable for two years. These are actors - they spend a good deal of time just waiting around the set. They are on location and sometimes they go days and weeks without shooting scenes at all while the production crew sets up. It’s very easy for families that want to be together, to be together. It’s also a beautiful thing. Brad is with Angie when she’s working, and Angie is with Brad when he is working. You can tell, it’s no sacrifice - it’s what they want to do. They are NOT on an assembly line somewhere punching in from 8 to 5.
Get a clue.
As an Angie fan, and neutral Brad fan (As I’ve mentioned I only like him because he’s with Angie), I just find it frustrating that he rarely speaks for his emotions about Angie. All we ever hear is, She’s a great actress..good egg..and i like what she does with her UN work.. That’s all.

Help lower divorce by 50 % because Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are half of the world, no?

“grabbing AJ’s ass as he comes out of their plane in Vogue”
I have yet to see pics of these..
Anyways, I wasn’t talking about physical PDA. I’m talking about verbal. I mean Angie is always open about her feelings. Ever since Maniston and Brad divorced, Angie is constantly called a homewrecker, while Brad never defends her.
As a fan of Brad for so long, I never had an issue on how he has been a perfect gentleman in all his past relationships. His reticence is sometimes misconstrued but his actions speak louder than words. He is a stand up guy, a great man and father according to Angie. Just looking at Angie nowadays, serenely beautiful and happy speak volumes on how Brad cherishes her in their life together. They are inseperable, hardly apart and that is a telling sign of the closeness and strength of their union.

Well the lack of verbal PDA, is just another tool that Maniston fans use to attack Angie..They always go on saying Brad will get tired of Angie cause she’s anorexic or he’s tired of following her around and stuff…They also go on like he was always smiling and showing PDA in paparazzi pics with Maniston etc…

____________________________________________________
Oh you stuuuuupid, sanctimonious Grade-A as*hole! Your post is full of loads of CRAp but i want to highlight a few of these “gems”:
You say: ‘I too was disappointed in how she used the Namibian government like that. Has Namibia changed an Iota ever since?’
And I say to you F*king idiot: does everyone who visit another country owe said country something?………..thats the probelm with some of you lazy, good-for-nothings, always with your begging bowl out.
You say: ‘Africa’s problems do not need Angelina Jolie to reduce them to trivia as she has done for the last six years.’
And I say: youre damned freakin right! Africa’s problems certainly dont need Angie. They dont need ANYONE…..because Africa’s problems begin with the fact that it has people like you……………..ungrateful, corrupt, cruel, wicked, always looking for someone else to bail you out of problems of your own creation; always full of corrupt leaders, with enough GRADE-A as*holes like you to support these corrupt so-called leaders at the expense of the poor and dispossessed.
And finally, you say: ‘LIKE I SAY, WHO GAINS MOST? UN OR ANGELINA? THIRD WORLD OR ANGELINA?’
And I say: Angelina DOES NOT NEED the headache and heartache that are the only things to be gained from pouring one’s heart and soul into caring for the poor and disenfranchised IN THEIR OWN LAND by mugabe types LIKE YOU!
And you wanna know why i am so qualified to speak like this? because i live in a country that is not unlike Uganda where you say you are from and its full of AS*HOLES like you, who only look for WHAT YOU CAN GET from people like Angie. i bet you would love if Angie took a couple of her millions and stood in a town square and handed out bills to A-holes like you!
briseis— well the problem is any Angie fan should be so happy for her right now. Since she and Brad got together she hasn’t been happier. Plus when a couple brings kids to their family and I am talking about all 4 and more to come a special bond grows between mom and dad, just watching them develop and grow is so satifying. But, when you share a loved ones death, that even brings you closer. Yes I am speaking from experience!!! Anyhoo,ITA briseis…
141#146 Great post african girl.Brava brava you remenber me why I comme to this thread.Bamzs fans are the best.
I just want to say that the fact that Brad and Angelina are working so hard now is part of their plans to provide for the big family they want.
My condolences to Coal and family.
well maybe for your benefit Anonymous you can call Brad’s manager and have him take out a full page add in Variety expressing his undying love for Angelina!!!!!
jesus this gets old. Brad’s actions speak louder than words.
hey guli - I’m all geared up for the 17th. I can’t remember what it is we’re celebrating, so I’ll just assume it’s life, health and BAMZS+1!
When I consider the scale of the suffering taking place in some countries I understand the Uganda woman’s cry for something to be done urgently by countries, and be impatient with Angelina’s individual efforts. Individual efforts can seem insignificant, like a drop in the ocean.
Angelina cannot single-handedly stop the suffering and war in the world. One point she has consistently raised is that she believes in the generosity and goodness of the American public - it’s their level of awareness that is in question.
Unfortunately, the media is very shallow in its content and also falls short of educating the public on the background of many of these conflicts. Even tragedies such as in New Orleans quickly become passe. As Katrina has shown, governments aren’t always aware of what’s going on in their own countries let alone suffering in the third world.
So Angelina’s efforts cannot be discounted or trivialized. She is playing a key role in making more people aware of going on and therefore more people who are willing to act. She may not be the only one doing this but since she has become the most sought after media subject she is the most effective in reaching the largest numbers of people.
Considering the fact that she could be having a pink and white mani/pedi (as stated earlier) I’d say she’s doing the world an immense service.
I will make fun of whoever I damn well please. I don’t care what maniston fans do or say-you make your bed hard, your a$$ is the one who has to lay in it-What about what she said when she got a new dog? “I’m thinking about adopting one from each country” or something to that effect? Go read the archives then tell me who to make fun of!

when has Angelina said she loves Brad in public?
anonymouus, I suggest you find and read the transcript of the hour long interview Brad did with that Indian TV reporter which IMO he made comments that clearly showed his love for Angelina. Not that Brad/Angelina fans ever doubted their love for each other.
un dieu bénissent Angelina, quel femmes merveilleuses.
#170, Brad was ready to give up everything for Angelina, he was there when she gave birth and cut teh cord, he was there when her Mother passed away, and he plans on raising a large family and living out his life with her. What exactly are you waiting to hear? At this point it would only be confirmation of the obvious.
You have to realize, that the only reason Angelina spoke to some degree about their life together, is because she was promoting The Good Shepherd, and there were several articles being done on HER and her life — to generate interest in this wide releasing film that they hoped would do as much box office as possible. Plus, she had the always nosy broads like Sawyer and Curry and their interviews, trying to get any quote possible on Brad. She even tackled the press conferences.
When Brad faces this same kind of onslaught for a wide releasing film you’ll get the same thing.
The only film that Brad has had to promote so far was ‘Babel’ — it was/is a small, arthouse message movie with an international cast, his role occupied less than 12 minutes of the whole film. In other words, while Brad did do Esquire in a self-penned style topic essay - this was not the kind of promotional junket that Angie did.
It also would have been extremely inappropriate to comment on ‘Brangelina’ as that would have completely swamped any and all press ‘Babel’ was trying to scare up. It would have ceased being the movie that it became, and would have only been a vehicle by which to write salacious titilating copy on Brad and Angie.
Now, when AOJJ comes out - better yet, Ocean’s 13 at Cannes you might get something juicy.
But these are people who very obviously don’t need to put on a show for anyone, actions speak much louder than words, and in the case of B & A they are shouting at and screaming.
BTW, Maniston, Angie, and Brad HAVE MOVED ON. People keep saying its the Maniston who hasn’t moved on. I’m pretty sure they have, because they RARELY talked about it. IT’S THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT HASN’T MOVED ON. THEY KEEP MENTIONING THE LOVE TRIANGLE.

I love your response to that “Uganda woman”, she deserves it. (I doubt she is Ugandian at all. Not even African).
Never wrote about the beginning of B&A relationship, as I find it irrelevant – I do not believe in the holiness of a piece of paper, in keeping marriage vows beyond the individual will to do so or that falling in love is ever morally reprehensive. As long as people are honest about their feelings to each other, everything else is conventional dribble.
But there is something I have been tempted to say lots of times and never did, mostly because some B&A fans applaud that this couple only really got together after Brad announced his separation from the whiny leech to whom he was under contract and I wouldn’t want to offend anyone’s religious belief in contracts.
However, I am so fed up with the banality of the troll morality brigade… So for once: I sincerely hope they started fu*cking each others brains senselessly the moment they first wished to do so. As Stephen Colbert once said, Angelina Jolie saved Brad Pitt from a loveless marriage and I would like to think she very actively started saving him sooner than later.
Baby Shiloh’s movie debut
13/03/2007 13:57 - (SA)
Adopted boy to join Jolie soon
‘Refugee work left me tearful’
Brangelina ‘get counselling’
Los Angeles - Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh has a cameo role in his latest movie.
Brad and Angelina Jolie’s ten-month-old daughter plays Cate Blanchett as a baby in forthcoming film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: “Brad and Shiloh saved the day when twin sisters hired to take turns playing actress Cate Blanchett’s character as a baby wouldn’t settle down.
“Everyone waited in vain while the babies were fed, changed and hugged - but nothing worked to calm them on the set in New Orleans.
“Then quick-thinking Brad realised his daughter’s happy and mellow disposition made her a quick fix for the role.”
Shiloh, who had been playing in the on set day care centre, was swiftly put in costume.
The source added: “She’s a natural. Shiloh did her scenes perfectly and was giggling and happy throughout her big day.”
Brad and Angelina also have an adopted son Maddox, five, and an adopted two-year-old daughter Zahara.
Angelina is in the process of adopting a Vietnamese boy aged between three and four. - Bang Showbiz.com

I hope like hell it becomes the norm.
I hope that two people can come to the decision that their relationship/marriage isn’t working, much less, functioning.
I hope that two people can take responsibility for their part in breaking apart.
I hope two people can see that ’sleepwalking’ through a marriage isn’t an alternative to divorcing.
It is unfortunate that a certain party allowed pride to taint the decision that she made, in conjunction with her then-husband. What’s really unfortunate is that you are perpetuating that dynamic, by making this about scorekeeping, whether it’s about who is happier, who has the support of ‘the people’, who has more love and satisfaction, etc. Mind you, your objection is more about Brad and Angelina’s happiness which counters yours and the other crackpots’ vision of their bathing in Hellfire.
And for the record, if marriage didn’t exist, neither would divorce. Fortunately, marriage is a choice and, d@mn right, so is divorce!!

anonymouus, I suggest you find and read the transcript of the hour long interview Brad did with that Indian TV reporter which IMO he made comments that clearly showed his love for Angelina. Not that Brad/Angelina fans ever doubted their love for each other.

Can you send me a link please? It will be too long and difficult to search GOOGLE “Brad Pitt Interview with Indian TV Reporter”. Can you give me specifics?
you need to answer this question too.

when has Angelina said she loves Brad in public?
————————-
OMG.. In the Diane Sawyer Interview, she said Brad was her love… In countless magazine interviews, she says she loves Brad. We never get the same response from Brad.
————————-
As I stated previously, when has Brad been asked the question?
As mentioned before - Brad hasn’t had the opp to be asked those kinds of vaguely intrusive questions (both Babel and Global Green arent the kind of forums to be addressing his love life)….part of it may also be because people feel more comfortable broaching perceived ‘romantic’ topics with women?
But like I say, when Oceans rolls around and the press by it’s very nature for a film like this is more focused on personal star power — I’m sure you’ll hear more pointed questions his way…until then he hasn’t been asked, and like I say — it would have been inappropriate when Rinko, Innaritu, and Ana are trying to get noticed for their performances, for Brad to hijack the entire press junket and publicity for Babel by talking about Angelina and the babies.
action speaks louder than words. Brad could say 100 times that he loves Angie but if he doesn’t show it, it doesn’t mean a damn thing. I think he is showing how much he loves Angie by sharing this beautiful life with her.

========================
The man risked his whole career to be with her. He endures all the bad rap and hatred to be with her. Isn’t that enough of a proof? Get real.
Keeping it Real
Oh…that’s what you meant. Jeez, how could I have missed it. So, we condone…thereby increasing divorce rate by 50%. Yeah, that totally makes sense…because before BP and JA got divorce, it never existed. Why, the word divorce was so unheard of…th is until BP and JA got divorced and BAM! The Divorce rate rose 50%. I see, makes sense…makes sooo much sense. By the way, how do I get to your world? Train, bus, plane…or do I just shut my eyes and float to la la land?

It doesn’t matter anyway because those people who need him to say that about Angelina wouldn’t believe him anyway because they have their own agenda. Brad said that Angelina wasn’t the reason for his divorce and that children weren’t a factor. While people still vehemently accuse Brad of misconduct, these same people were completely on board with the ‘children not being the cause’ only when ___ said so.
I am totally in agreement that sometimes for whatever reason, relationships do not work out, and divorce is the only sane option. And, I am a huge AJ & BP fan, theri movies, leir life, etc. Having said that, I do think that ntt says statement is a bit….out of this world: “The man risked his whole career to be with her. He endures all the bad rap and hatred to be with her.” Really? risked his whole career?
I do think that if a woman had gone through a very public separation like BP did with his ex, I do think she would have been beating to a pulp by the press, socielty in general, etc. And believe me, I know AJ has taken her share of hits….which I think have been far worse than BP’s share and yet ntt still claims “the man risked his whole career” I DON”T BUY IT

Never wrote about the beginning of B&A relationship, as I find it irrelevant – I do not believe in the holiness of a piece of paper, in keeping marriage vows beyond the individual will to do so or that falling in love is ever morally reprehensive. As long as people are honest about their feelings to each other, everything else is conventional dribble.
But there is something I have been tempted to say lots of times and never did, mostly because some B&A fans applaud that this couple only really got together after Brad announced his separation from the whiny leech to whom he was under contract and I wouldn’t want to offend anyone’s religious belief in contracts.
However, I am so fed up with the banality of the troll morality brigade… So for once: I sincerely hope they started fu*cking each others brains senselessly the moment they first wished to do so. As Stephen Colbert once said, Angelina Jolie saved Brad Pitt from a loveless marriage and I would like to think she very actively started saving him sooner than later.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
you must have a fat ass!
jealous much?
So let me ask the Anonymous person these questions regarding “extreme public PDA” and “I love you”:
1. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez:
—-How many times did Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez say “I love her/him” in magazines and on Television? Many times
—-How many times did you see them having EXTREME PDAs in public? Many many many times.
—Now, wasn’t it just last year when Ben Affleck gave an interview where he said that he was not happy during his time with Jennifer Lopez and used to have fake smiles on his face just so people could think he was happy?
2. Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards:
—Wasn’t this couple all kinds of happy on the red carpet and saying I love you’s all the time and showing all sorts of PDA’s?
—Wasn’t this also the couple that started accusing each other of henious things that happened during their marriage? That means that even though they were busy smiling for the cameras and having their PDAs, all was not well in their household. So, the PDAs were fake.
I could give more examples but I have to go. I am so cynical that when I see extreme PDAs I start to wonder if it’s all true or are they just putting on a show. I’d rather see pictures of B/A out with their kids going for a stroll around the neighborhood, riding around in their ATVs, B/A on a bike ride together, than of them sucking face like two teenagers. All I’ll say is that I’d rather see less and honest PDAs than sucking face in public and it being false. I’d rather not hear the “I love her/him”, but see that love through their actions toward each other. If you are a fan of Angelina, then you would know that she is a woman who would not be with a man who didn’t love her. As Matt Damon said (and he knows her better than ANY of us here), she would not be in a relationship where she was suffering or unhappy. She said Brad is closest to her. If she feels that way, don’t you trust her as a fan to know what’s right for her? This is a woman who divorced her 2nd husband because even though she loved him, they were no longer compatible in their goals and she wasn’t going to stay with him. Brad got into a relationship with her that ALOT of people in the media, public, hollywood disapproved of, but he followed his heart. He has been ridiculed and hated on but that hasn’t stopped him from being with her. Let me tell you this, what they have gone through for the past 2 years to be together, most couples don’t go through their entire lives.
199
Gussie - ITA!! With all due respect to those who have established a timeline as to when the love affair started, I don’t really care. I’m glad they found each other and the sooner the better.
I’m very excited about the new addition! This is a little boy who will be greatly loved and cared for.
I also see some of the haters are out and about. This reminds me of a saying my mom said often. “There is nothing so hard to open as a closed mind.”

Oh, and another thing, I don’t give a damn what the fans of __ have to say about the lack of PDAs from Brad and Angie. They are so full of hate and don’t want to believe (even after 2 years), that Brad and Angie and their litttle ones are a family. As the years go by they’ll soon start to realize that it is what it is and hopefully move on.

This makes me sick. I have a good friend that adopted a foreign child and it took her and her husband a year and a HALF to finally get their son. Ridiculous!
***************************************
Jules, what country was it? I know two families who just came home from Vietnam and it went pretty fast. Plus we don’t know exactly when BAMSZ started working on the Vietnam adoption. It could have been a year ago or longer. Maybe Angie had her homestudy started before she even got pregnant…adoption is all she had on her mind in the way of family building before she met Brad. There are just some things we the prying public aren’t privvy to, thank God!
More nice Vietnamese names for boys:
Tran
Than
and I think Kai is Vietnamese too (among other things). Any Vietnamese folks want to weigh in with more?
All the ex had to do was taking the high road like Brad suggested ;
And wishing well for him and his new life;
then the press wd back off ;
simple
And now don’t say me it hurts because they made the statement together : we keep the crap love and remain friends b/s
She is a public figure, she was the one who couldn’t handle it and she made a BIG mistake to think Leslie Bennets was like real world behind close door;
Leslie B wanted to make BIG money , that’s all, upon her pity ass;
To show you, this woman is not intelligent and you see why in some degree Brad went away ;
She has no consistence as a public figure , has no aura, she only play games with pity me party , good girl scorned woman to stay in the light;
Brad said 7 years in my life , it ’s allready 5 years more than i used to be with
someone;
I bet he was ready to step out right in 2002 ;

Glad you brought up Affleck and JLo…
I recall watching an entertainment show, either on VH1 or E!, and they showed a clip of JLo and Chris Judd together on the red carpet. Affleck, who was standing nearby, paid somebody to give JLo a bouquet of flowers in front of everyone, including the paps and her husband. JLo knew who they were from and didn’t hide her bliss in receiving them.
A blatant overture to his wife, and yet, no outcry or sympathy for Chris Judd, or no demand for JLo or Affleck’s head on a platter. Why is that?

But Estelle, Maddox and Zee were infants. This will be a fully formed little guy who has an identity and a name he is used to. I vote for them to keep the Vietnamese name, unless it’s something unfortunate like **** (this is a true Vietnamese name; I may be spelling it wrong though).
I vote for keeping a Vietnamese name, preferably the one he already answers to. It’s the most humane thing to do. He shouldn’t be losing his identity by coming to the states. The little guy will have enough to go through as it is….new language, bossy little sister Zee :) , paparazzi.

There are only two issue I have with Brad. He never shows his emotions or PDA for Angie. He always talks about his kids instead. Also, he has so many films he’s acting/producing in one after the other. He never takes a break to be with the family. I’m anticipating Angie’s films, not Brad’s which are like 10.

As an Angie fan, and neutral Brad fan (As I’ve mentioned I only like him because he’s with Angie), I just find it frustrating that he rarely speaks for his emotions about Angie. All we ever hear is, She’s a great actress..good egg..and i like what she does with her UN work.. That’s all.
Now this is a happy couple and family .. you just look at them and smile. They are enjoying their themselves and as parents. Pics of B&A … the stone cold looks on their face speak volumes.

I agree with you, somewhat. It wasn’t like Brad had to pull a ‘Prince Edward’. But you do have to agree that he did incur some wrath for being with Angelina; before, he pretty much flew under the radar, which, in the princesses’ minds, was a gift offered to him for fulfilling an obligation to them.
I do take exception (and this isn’t directed at you, sophie) with Angelina fans who are of the mind that Brad needs to publicly proclaim his intentions/feelings toward Angelina. If this is necessary, assuming that Angelina’s quality of life would be in jeopardy if that doesn’t happen, why not hold her to the same standards?
For example, where was the demand, from Angelina fans, for Angelina to publicly declare that the reason why she wouldn’t marry Brad had nothing to do with her desire for an open marriage? Yes, it was a rumor, and it dated back to last summer, but some could see her lack of response as an indictment toward her commitment to Brad. I don’t because the concept is so ridiculous that it doesn’t warrant one, just as claiming that Brad doesn’t love Angelina enough or at all.
The girl’s name Zahara \za-hara, zaha-ra\ is pronounced za-HAH-rah. It is of Arabic and Hebrew origin, and its meaning is “flowering; shining”.
Makes sense for an Ethiopian born girl - well known name in that region.
Marley (Brad’s favorite singer, I think) but also Rastas look to Ethiopia spiritually as a place of great significance.
Zahara Marley.
I think the new son should have a Vietnamese middle name (anything but Hung, of course). Sorry…..

Just what the hell is a mental affair ? If the marriage is broken and the terms of the marriage cannot be agreed on (babies for one ) then why expect someone to live forever in a loveless marriage ? Is it supposed to end only if ,in this case, JA can come out on top ? I still maintain that the marriage was so over by the time BP and AJ decided to act on their feelings . There is nothing that you can say or show me to make me change my mind . How’s that for being totally closed to reasoning other than my own ? That the mindset we have to deal with regularly .

Hey girl! *waves* I’m around but mostly lurk. Gussie hit that one out of the ball park and I must give credit when credit is due. And what’s with all this shiz about Brad never verbally expresses his love. Who is he supposed to express it to? You? Me? Anonymous? Or Angelina? As long as Angie knows how he feels then that’s all that matters. He doesn’t owe us a thing.
Why do people assume Zahara is bossy or screams all of the time. Angie said she had the biggest personality, but she didn’t say she was bossy or rude. Remember that was mentioned in that article that she denounced by Angie for misquoting her. The one with the “quotes” about Madonna. She didn’t say what else was a misquote. Let’s assume Z is sweet and a typical 2 yr old. Aren’t 2 yr olds sweet?
Does Brad love Angie? Of course he does. Look how he looks at her. Look at how he looks at the men looking at her. Most men don’t blab their feelings to the media. He has told several people he’s worked with that he loves her deeply. In that Interview article he explains how his family wasn’t very emotionally demonstrative. Please people this is another tatic for the haters. Let’s pretend concern about Brad loving Angie. Of course AJ’s fans will come to her denfense giving them the attention they so badly need. Remember if you don’t feed them, they will die. Cut their food supply. If you feel compelled to answer, answer. But don’t argue. Arguing only gives them strength. They feed on anger. Peace.

With Brad and PDA/lack of defense of AJ…what exactly should he said that would make ppl stop the hate towards his women? Brad could get a tattoo on his ass with a pic of AJ on one cheek and a sign that says the property of Angelina Jolie and ppl will still hate. The tabs will still say what they are saying to sell papers and the hags like ‘Keeping it fake as heck’ will eat it up. ppl who are jealous will remain that way until they can move on to something else.

Angie said somewhere in an interview…..sorry I don’t have time to find it…something like Shiloh wakes up with Zahara “screaming at her.”
I may be projecting. I have an Ethiopian son and two Vietnamese kids and my Ethiopian has a huge personality, which translates into him being a very bossy and dominating child.
And he was not a sweet two-year-old. Have you heard of the term “terrible twos”?

#182 ,you sound like a blow-hard republican. What a ****-head , and you lie!
_________________________________________________________
A**Hole i am no republican. on the contrary, the neocons in the us government, beginning with that puppet you call a president, is at the root cause of most of the problems that the world’s poor and dispossessed are facing today. And who the f*uck do you think you are that i should care to lie to you. or to tell you the truth for that matter……you dic*head. But as someone who was born and raised in a “third world country” (a term which i despise but i know someone like you can relate to it in a third-world=third-rate kind of way) and who has seen first hand how corrupt governments keep their people poor and ignorant, wasting their country’s resources and looting the national coffers, i have no patience for as*holes like you who find every excuse for corrupt leaders.
I am reminded of this quote from an ANC leader who suffered right along with Nelson Mandela but whose name escapes me at the moment. he said: “the most powerful tool that the oppressor has in his hand is the mind of the oppressed.”……so who, pray tell, has your mind in their hand thats making you act and sound so stuuuuuuuupid?

Thanks for the pics.
BTW… I didn’t see any posts from you on that thread.
If the way stars conduct their lives is due to fans ‘condoning’ their behavior, shouldn’t you heap your support onto Ben and Jen, via the thread that features the two of them and their child; after all, the most recent post was March 6th, and judging from your previous posts, your unfailing attention will be the antidote to divorce!
Buh-bye!

Maniston - what next? “Never verbally expresses his love” Angelina is ALL loved up by Brad. And it’s for her eyes/ears only.
Gotta run, but will check in later. CMAR did you get my post???
Just because a child screams sometimes doesnt mean she screams all the time. Angie said Zee was the funniest person she has ever met. Zee seems like a fun child but Im sure she has her moments like any 2 year old…. or any person regardless of age.
Congratulations to them. And I am glad another child is getting a home. Hope more and more people will adopt. Here and abroad.

Aww… Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
I remember when Jen was still married to Scott Foley when she started banging Michael Vartan her co-star on Alias before falling in love with her Daredevil co-star, Ben Affleck. She was still banging Michael V at the time. And who could forget how Ben and JLo’s relationship began. She was supposedly happily married to Cris Judd, the love of her life. I can still remember the video of JLo and Cris Judd at some event. Cris stood next to his wife, looking like a fool when Ben suddenly came out of the crowd to give JLo a bouquet of flowers. Poor Cris couldn’t recognize a cockblock even though one was happening right in front of him.
Keeping it real, thanks for the memories. We need more hollywood couples like Ben and Jen. *thumbs up*
the crazy militant Angelina fans are far worse on Brad and Angelina’s image than the crazy X fans.
Either you respect your Idol Angelina’s choice of A Man in Her Life and Father of Her children or you don’t. But stop the f-cking whining already.

Cliniqua-what country are you from?
Sorry. It should read in that article that Angie denounced as having misquoted her. She didn’t elaborate about the misquotes.
Guli, CNN it talking abou the copyright suit against You tube by Viacom. They are suing for 1 billion dollars. Okay, question. If you guys make a video and place it on Youtube, don’t you own int? Therefore, if that is true why have some of the videos you guys created, AJ & BP’s been removed? Most were taken from M&MS. Was that aconsidered copyright infringement? Damn, if that is the case most of my favorite videos have been removed.
That is exactly what i was thinking…it is cliniqua LOL
As for Maddox Chivan, not sure the origin of either name.

I think she said that Chivan was his cambodian name.

Anyways, I wasn’t talking about physical PDA. I’m talking about verbal. I mean Angie is always open about her feelings. Ever since Maniston and Brad divorced, Angie is constantly called a homewrecker, while Brad never defends her.
So, what is he suppose to do defend every single thing anyone says anything about her? That is only adding fire to the flame. After two years the triangle is finally dying a slow death for him to address anything about AJ being a homewrecker would only give the triangle a new life. He said at the very beginning in his Diane Sawyer interview no third party was responsible for the breakup of his marriage. That he owned his choices. In the press release by both JA and BP it said that rumors of a third pary were not true what else is there left to say. He did the right thing, you address it at the beginning and then you leave it alone. People who believe you will believe you those who don’t never will no matter what he says.

OMG, you people are so hard to reason with. I’ll try with a scenario. So, I watch this program on the Discovery channel called Intervention. They have all sorts of people with various addictions in there. So, if those people go on to rehab and get clean from their addictions and start doing something good with their lives, with your reasoning, whatever they’ll be doing will just be another addiction on their part. I mean, if you criticize Angie, a reformed addict, you should be able criticize ALL reformed addicts, right? I didn’t think so, because after all, they are not Angie. She is the only one to be criticized and be damned to anyone else. Have you criticized Sharon Stone yet for her third adoption just recently? I didn’t think so, after all she’s not relevant to your cause of Angie bashing.
Let me tell you something honey, writing that Angie is a fraud in capital letters won’t make it true, no matter how much you wish it to. I’ll humor you though and tell you that I love Angie and will still be a fan, fraud or no fraud. How’s that for being a looney? :-)

I am totally in agreement that sometimes for whatever reason, relationships do not work out, and divorce is the only sane option. And, I am a huge AJ & BP fan, theri movies, leir life, etc. Having said that, I do think that ntt says statement is a bit….out of this world: “The man risked his whole career to be with her. He endures all the bad rap and hatred to be with her.” Really? risked his whole career?
I do think that if a woman had gone through a very public separation like BP did with his ex, I do think she would have been beating to a pulp by the press, socielty in general, etc. And believe me, I know AJ has taken her share of hits….which I think have been far worse than BP’s share and yet ntt still claims “the man risked his whole career” I DON”T BUY IT

However, I am so fed up with the banality of the troll morality brigade… So for once: I sincerely hope they started fu*cking each others brains senselessly the moment they first wished to do so. As Stephen Colbert once said, Angelina Jolie saved Brad Pitt from a loveless marriage and I would like to think she very actively started saving him sooner than later.
LMAO. I Agree, hey, who is Stephen Colbert and when did he say this? Whoever he is I like him already.
Here are 50 common Vietnamese names for a boy:
http://www.20000-names.com/male_vietnamese_names.htm
Minh is another good one.
Olive Branch (and Woman too):
You know, you don’t just say “gee, press is bad” or “gosh we were shafted at the Globes” I’m gonna take off for VietNam or another UN refugee project and go. These things are planned months in advance. Go to the UNHCR site and check it out. (BTW if you don’t know how to find it–type UNHCR into google –that http://www.google.com in case you can’t figure it out and see what comes up). Angelina has done over 70 events since she began her association with them. Compare that to the other ambassadors who have done at the most 12-14 events. I hardly think AJ would subject herself to the suffering one sees at refugee camps like the ones in Chad, Somalia etc. to feed their addiction.
And even if it were true–she would still be doing good by bring attention to the plight of the refugees. BUT read her book Notes from my Travels (go to Amazon.com–can you figure out how?). She wrote from the heart. She truly wants to help, to make a difference.
So what do you both care if she adopts? Even if she weren’t doing her refugee work, she has adopted three children and made a difference (probably between life and death in Zahara’s case) in their lives. That is more, much more, than many people can lay claim to.
What are you doing to make a difference aside from being a thorn in this blog’s side?

Oh, so Zahara was her original name?…how beautiful. Thanks for the info. Dina and Team Lara Croft for the break down of Z’s name.
Well, whatever his name will be, one thing for sure, that he will be love love love and well care for, he will have a family of his own.
*************************************
It’s not necessarily her original name, even if it’s Ethiopian. My son was given an Ethiopian name by the orphanage in Addis Ababa and we kept it. If no one knows who Zahara’s birth mother was it’s unlikely they know what Zee’s original name was. In Ethiopia it’s illegal to abandon your child, so desparate people frequently do it in the middle of the night in front of hospitals or police stations or places where they know the child will be found and cared for. They frequently do not leave paper trails..once in awhile there may be a necklace to indicate what the mother’s religion was, from what I’ve heard.
We didn’t even know my son’s real birthday……the orphanage assigned him one. He was found abandoned at about eight months of age.
Have I said I love him more than life itself?? Big, bossy personality and all?
Bermy girl, of course i saw your post. you know what, i am gonna send a request to Jared to pass on my email address to you or something like that so we can email each other in private. btw did you watch the CWC opening ceremony this past sunday? it was really pretty good, even if youre not a cricket fan, like i am not.
Someone………….I think it was Cliniqua………posted this site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_nEumAM18E&NR earlier today and I have been watching some of these beautifully created videos of Ange, Brad and family. i just watched a portion of Inside the Actor’s Studio with AJ and i literally choked up when she talked about playing that role with her real dad as her character’s father in Lara Croft. She said it was a kind of “hello and goodye” moment for her and her dad. Then they showed a clip of the scene where the two characters talked about their absence from each other’s life and their love for each other, etc. It was an opportunity for Ange to ask her dad some real questiosn and a chance for him to explain his absence in her family’s life…………..it was so moving!

Peaches :
Just what the hell is a mental affair ? If the marriage is broken and the terms of the marriage cannot be agreed on (babies for one ) then why expect someone to live forever in a loveless marriage ? Is it supposed to end only if ,in this case, JA can come out on top ? I still maintain that the marriage was so over by the time BP and AJ decided to act on their feelings . There is nothing that you can say or show me to make me change my mind . How’s that for being totally closed to reasoning other than my own ? That the mindset we have to deal with regularly .
I have no idea why you are addressing this to me IA with you. IA. the marriage was over. I was not the one that said they had a mental affair, wrong person.

Words cannot describe how much I love you right now lol Although just one minor correction, Ben sent one of his friends to give the flowers to J.Lo. The camera followed the friend and showed him talking to Ben. The funny thing is, it was happening at the opening of her restaurant when everyone was arriving yet right after she got the flowers Ben and his friend immediately left!
Even on the set on Gigli Ben was touching her back and butt and it was caught on camera. Cris’s father even did a handful of interviews where he claimed that Cris told Ben to back off but he ignored him.
The whole JG situation..she was already wearing one of MV’s rings when she was still separated from Scott. Her and Ben…I don’t know for sure if she was still with MV but she sure didn’t wait that long before getting with Ben after ending it w/ him.
Amaya–thanks for the video. I love him, Jon Stewart but man C. Ferguson just cracks me up. I wish he would get an earlier time slot, due to him I lose alot of sleep :lol:

Thanks, Amaya. Nice blog, by the way.
The exact quote from Stephen Colbert is: ” Angelina Jolie freed Brad from that loveless relationship” (…)
And I like the “Jennifer is a loose canon” joke too.
i live on a different moral ground than KEEPING IT REAL because i am a flawed human being therefore i don’t believe i should sit in judgement of others. i don’t think you can help who you fall in love with. if brad and angelina fell in love who are we to say you only get one go round in this life but don’t build on your love or have a family b/c a bunch of strangers will harshly judge you? they are dynamic together and they bring the spotlight with them to worthy issues and they give of their time and resources. they should be lauded for their selflessness. i think they are a beautiful family. the person who said angelina didn’t leave namibia any better off, i believe i read she left a great deal of money there for something to do with children’s charities. if people really believe she does the good things she does for career(so silly) do you believe she would have seen all of the children suffering and poverty and illness and not be changed after 6 years of service? you only hurt yourselves carrying all the hate and judgement. she is a lovely person who seems happy and i for one am so happy for the whole family. i think she should be an inspiration for women to be busy mom’s and busy citizens and find your bliss.

Hanna—how is the weather over there. I have lived in Ohio for 30 years and never wore shorts at this time of the year, weird but I’m not complainning :-)
Just got home and began reading this thread, and see some hilarious ranters are present. Some analysis of their “proof” that Brad Pitt, just cannot, does not, love Angelina Jolie.
If a couple is in love they show it with multiple and constant PDAs and proclamations of “love yous”. Sure, tell Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson that. 4 weddings; marriage=3-4 months; lots and lots of PDAs and “I love yous”; already divorced.
No love present unless fans/public told how much one loves another over and over, because magic words must be said. ACTIONS MEAN NOTHING, ONLY MAGIC WORDS. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, no organismic declarations of love for fans/public but together over 40 years through thick and thin.
No love, merely using someone as a brood mare, will leave immediately after use of bood mare as objective (baby) achieved; can’t and won’t adopt Maddox and Zahara, just name change (those are just Angelina’s kids, not Brad’s because he only wants “his” biological kids, adopted kids are not Brad’s thing).
Shiloh Novel Jolie-Pitt born in May 2006; pixs from as recently as March 11, 2007, show Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie TOGETHER riding their ATVs on the private beach of their SB home; still inseparable before and after baby’s birth; where ever Brad is so is Angelina and where ever Angelina is so is Brad; bought house TOGETHER January 2007; Brad adopted Maddox and Zahara in May 2006; Brad and Angelina travel to Vietnam TOGETHER in November 2006 and TOGETHER visit an orphanage; 4th Jolie-Pitt to be adopted in 2007 from Vietnamese orphanage visited in November 2006.
“PROOF” OFFERED EQUALS NOTHING, ZERO. ACTIONS DO SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, ANYONE CAN SAY ANYTHING, NOT EVERYONE WILL CARRY OUT THE ACTIONS TO MAKE WORDS UTTERED TRUE.

Jules sorry that your friends had a long wait for their child but lets just rejoice that another child is finding a home. I doubt we will ever know all of the particulars about your child’s adoption, where, what the hold up was for, etc. and Angelina’s. So why get angry. Be happy a child is finding a home.
#okay, once again I’m coming in late because I had to read through the last one on the old thread. To Missouri Fan, Ugly Aniston and Anustin (this one has always struck me as funny!) plus all the other ones like Briseis, Ariel(?), Island Girl…small world talaga! Angelah and JJoy…I’ve been acquainted with ever since JJ moved from his old site. Kumusta din.
MF, I will reply to your e-mail when I get it. Looking forward to a pic of little Bradley. Maybe when your son decides on another one, it could be a little Angie, ha?
It’s funny that all the places you guys mentioned reminds me so much of home. Last time I was there, it was 2003. MF, we might have more in common than you think. I used to work around that vicinity where you used to work. I was at “R….n’s” for 3 years! Was that where you were? Almost same timeline too!
My condolences to Coalharbor. Am so sorry to hear about her dad’s passing. May God protect her family.
Please Susie and Sheri tell her, she is in my prayer.

Happy to hear that the new child will soon join the Jolie-Pitt family i wish them all the best, happiness, success, joy, love and everything that may be their heart desire.

ITA. It is so easy to sit in judgment of others from a keyboard. However, it is different when you are out there living your life and making mistakes along the way. It feels like it is still 2005 on this blog with the same people spouting the same rhetoric and hate. BP and AJ have moved on with their lives raising a lovely family. They know what they can handle in their lives and I admire them for putting into actions their plans. Too many celebrities give press releases, pr spin and tabloid rumors about their plans but they never come to fruition. I suspect that many of these women who criticize AJ secretly envy and admire her. They can find quotes, articles and pictures of AJ faster than the fans. I daresay that some of these critics are obsessed with AJ, not because of BP, but because of the woman that AJ is. She is not the meek, shallow, insecure woman afraid to change styles or travel. She is a bold adventurous woman that goes out and accomplishes her goals and dreams, rather than talk incessantly about them.
Congrats to BP and AJ on the new addition to their family. Thanks Just Jared for the new thread.
Where are my manners………………….my condolences to CoalHQT on the passing of her father. I really hope you and your family will be able to get through this period of grief.
Guli- i’ve been checking the site as I can and just saw that you live in Ohio, I thought you lived in Chicago this whole time! Pick up the Newsweek with the skull on the cover, the pics of AJ are great and she has a good quote in it about people who try to bash her and call all her work “celebrity tourism”, AJ says, “I don’t know if anybody saying that has spent the last 6 years of their life going to over 30 camps and really spending time with these people”

In the most recent pictures of Brad walking towards his bike…Who is the guy walking with him? Isn’t that one of Aniston friends (aka Goddes Circle)? Is that TODD SHEMARYA? Cause right after Brad and Jen split he was everywhere with Aniston, now all of sudden he makes an apperance with Brad. Did some of their mutual friends bet on the wrong horse.

Since my daughter is still in high school, I have to come back, my sons are OK, since they are both in college and they don’t start until Sept…but little lady and I guess hubby (since he can’t take that much time off) still need me ;-)
I AM BRINGING THIS OVER FROM THE PREVIOUS THREAD COS AS WE ALL KNOW, CHILDREN LEARN BY REPETITION AND LORD KNOWS, THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH MENTALLY CHALLENGED HATERZ HERE THAT NEED TO READ THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.:

How a sane person in good faith could ever deride AJ’s work with refugees as a publicity ploy is beyond me.
Even the shallowest mind, stunted by years of tabloid fare, the most self-centred couch potato, the most jealousy filled heart of a co-dependent, conventional, profoundly stupid and unhappy excuse for a woman around has to understand this: AJ could have all the publicity in the world just by stepping on a red carpet with her man.
That she chooses to do something for the victims of the most horrifying crimes in the world, to immerse herself in all that misery and grief when she could reap the dubious profit of the limelight by various self-indulgent pursuits is glaringly an option to commend.
And even if prejudice blinds… the pain and suffering in these camps is so terrible, the tragedies so hideous, the cruelty of mankind so shattering that only the most superficial soulless human being would question the messenger and ignore the message.

Thanks to both of you. Loved the SC video. Guli, I am not a member of You tube, remember I said I was having problems signing in. I keep getting rejected. How do I send them an e-mail? Just send them a regular e-mail? Thanks both of you. Peace.
Carol- I am really wondering if they did say something, but I trust People magazine and they have it on their site so I guess it’s true. As I’m sure you know in America you would have your butt dragged into court for breaking confidentiality but as someone said earlier, money can buy you anything in some part’s of the world. I still think it’s wrong.
To Susie and Sheri,
Please extend my thoughts and condolences to coalharborqt regarding the death of her father. I only had a few exchanges with coal but I always read her postings and will be thinking of her during this time.
interesting says.maybe he know he was on the wrong boat.people are begining to know the truth,only losers and dump idiots are the ones you know who can fool with her pity party
Not even a year yet and Shiloh is already an actress. [Lol] Impressive.
mondes la plupart de bel enfant ?
i wish they will be given privacy to bond with their child when he comes.i wish them all the best they are good parents
susie, please pass along my condolences to Coal and her family. May her father RIP.
Guli- I guess I got the impression that you lived in Chicago from around the Superbowl, I think I interpreted one of your posts as you living there. You were rooting for Chicago(bears ?) weren’t you? I know that you went to college in Ohio though. BTW, if you hear rocks being thrown at your windows in Bodrum one night, it’s me, I will have snuck away for a visit. :lol:

You know, even if it benefits Angelina 75 per cent and the people she’s helped 25, isn’t it still better than zero percent? Even if she has helped just one soul in all her efforts, it trumps doing nothing at all. Sometimes, you can’t give enough but at least one person is trying to get others to come onboard. Don’t belittle her efforts. If it was you that happened to be that one person she has helped out, wouldn’t you be grateful? Or would you spit out the food even if your stomach was growling from hunger just because not all the hungry in the world were provided sustenance?
I’ve seen where children race to pick grains from the ground in hopes of making a meal out of that meager yield. If Angelina can only provide a cupful, that would still have been welcome to those who are starving.
does anyone know coals email so that we can send condolenses directly

Coal,
I don’t know you very well, but I wanted to extend my condolences to you. Hopefully, your father will find peace, as will you and your family.
Susie– I was rooting for the Bears, cause I didn’t care that much for Indie… :lol: Oh thats right you weren’t at JJ’s during the fall when I was going to the OSU games and the tail-gate parties…
