Blast from the Past: Angelina & Maddox

Going back in time… Here’s a rare photo of Angelina Jolie, then 27, and son Maddox, almost 11 months, shopping in Los Angeles on June 27, 2002.

Maddox was sporting the fashionable faux-hawk and the ankle bracelets at the time. Bigger picture inside…

In movie news… be on the look-out for a Brad Pitt appearance on June 7.

Ocean’s 13 will be premiering in Chicago to raise money for charity, reports the Chicago Sun Times. Other confirmed stars to make an appearance include George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle.

Hi BAMPZS fans. I hope everyone including the Jolie-Pitts are having a nice holiday weekend. STAY BLESSED.

Good parenting job, Angie. Keep up the good work. Hold your head up girl, don’t let anyone discourage you. Keep making progress.

I love the picture. Maddox is a big brother of three siblings now.

Oh I love Maddox, so cute. Pic from last thread at the GG’s, I love how Brad is leading her

Thank JJ. Best wishes to the Jolie-Pitts.

Me too, I wouldn’t be a fan of Brad and Angie if not of those crazy behaviors and full of hate post by the lunatic faniston fans.

I hope they are having a nice bonding time as a family.

Cool picture.

Mondo Bongo! @ 04/06/2007 at 12:17 pm

Damn!!!! Angie is one fine looking women no wonder it was
a love connection with Brad..lol

Love those ankle bracelets on Mad, soooooooo cute~

Love the family. Keep up the good humanitarian work.

Thanks JJ for the new Thread.

Hi there susie, thanks for the wonderful pics.

Hello Ida and everyone else.

Sheri, Congratulations! I am doing a little dance for you. :lol:

That’s such a sweet picture :) Maddox really made Angie a woman. God bless both of them.

Maddox was a cute baby !admired Angie more, at 27 y/o, raising her kid alone was not an easy task.

half asleep @ 04/06/2007 at 12:23 pm

aww Maddox was the cutest baby EVER. Remember when it was just Angie, her plane and Mad ? Then Brad just had to be apart of the lil family and helped her build a WAY bigger family. Damn you Brad Pitt!

Agreed, can you imagine the Paris Hiltons of the world doing the same. Angie is such a strong and independent woman, she is not given enough credit.

Alexanderina @ 04/06/2007 at 12:26 pm

Thanks Jared for the new thread and the picture. I always love that picture with Angie and Madd, so cute

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

Since the went to different parts of the world to help in the filming of the documentary. I would think they would be part of it.

I remember reading Angie and Anne H. interviewing each other.

piper, with a low @ 04/06/2007 at 12:29 pm

Aww… how cute!

Soon Maddox will be of ‘that age’ where he would be embarassed about his baby pics.

i have love for her so. Pax having every look of peace. he is in love with his only and new family.

I read of another photographs saved and this one uau/uau/uau/uau/uau!!! how I make it? I cannot ask for Isabell II because he is in much sadness. Equally I used myself to make the amusement of it when he was on here for hours, and to say here for come out it because I had studies (but some that I did not have) please teach me as how to save?

the real tita @ 04/06/2007 at 12:37 pm

Awww, how cute is Maddox and his mommy! I was hoping to see new pics when I went to JJ’s but saw this one instead. I don’t mind this at all. Haven’t seen this one yet so it’s nice of Jared to post it.

I guess beside the bonding time with the family, Angie is also in training for her movie. Hope she’s having fun with those Heely’s. I bet everyone wants one so they can all be like Mom. Won’t Pax be thrilled if they had an Easter egg hunt? He’s going to have a lot of firsts in his life just like Shiloh!

Other actress at that age was probably party hopping everynight, shopping, tanning, salon , dating. and here she is, at 27 y/o, raising her kid alone, start her UN world, learning to fly. not wasting a bit of her life. Go Angie, go !

**********************

I know there are many fans out there that act psychotic and mean but I really don’t think that we should consider these types of people to be “fans”. I am a BAMPZS fan,through and through. I love what they stand for and represent and I don’t think anyone can or should criticize them for the way they live their life. They are an inspiration as to how we should live our lives and they bring the world’s attention to where it really needs to be focused.
I am also a Jen fan and I can tell you that I am in no way racist, unstable, or insecure. I do think its sad that so many people who claim to be Jen fans act so immature because it reflects badly on her and I wish these idiots would just keep their mouths shut and let these three individuals live their lives in peace. I really don’t think Jen, Angie, or Brad appreciate all the nasty things people say about all three of them especially when they say it using them against one another.

that wasn’t that long ago and look how young she looks…she doesn’t look 27

Min is a monster @ 04/06/2007 at 1:03 pm

lol Thanks Jared :D

Simply beautiful! Thanks JJ

Ahhh…….now that WAS an Angie I liked.

She wasn´t collecting kids back then.

She looked healthy.(scary if you take a look at her nowadays…)

And she still had that “something”.

Thank you Jared, we DONT need new pics.

Give them privacy

Stock market closed early.

Happy Easter, everybody.

Much much love, good health, long life, prosperity to the JoliePitt family. Thank you for all the good deeds and the awareness which both of you brought to our attention.

And hell yeah, Maddox really was soo cute……I could eat him!

He and Shiloh rock!

black, if I remember correctly you are the fool who would love to see her drunk rather than doin some good in this world. Her un work is too boring for you so go find some drunk starlet to be a fan of, loser.

I’m sure Angie won’t miss a so-called fan like you.

It’s NOT your life. Nor do you have the right to try and tell her how to live hers. She doesn’t want you, so get over yourself!!!!!

JOLIE-PITT ROCK @ 04/06/2007 at 1:21 pm

i can’t stand the tabloid. why can they just accept the fact that these two are truely happy. I don’t believe in the tabloids but is so stupid that some of the retarded maniston fans believe it so badly that they trash Angie and Brad. That show you how uneducate and desperate they are to defend their idol. From James Haven’s mouth to god’s ears that these two will stay together for life.

I didn’t pay attention to Angie back then, but I like her now and her past too. She is a unique woman, no wonder magazines like to write something about her negative or positive, even there is no news, they make up one. How pathetic!!!

Hmmmm… Thats cool, shes Hot anyways.

JOLIE-PITT ROCK @ 04/06/2007 at 1:34 pm

how can people say that she is adopting kids because she likes publicity. look at how happy she is with mad. she obviously really love children. also, she said she changed because of mad. He made her a better woman. why can the haters just accept it.

Thank you shy for the great pics of mad.

truth- thank you about it being at the TSG premiere, my head was not fully awake. :)

Amaya- thank you, I loved Daryll last night taking cell phone pictures and calling up his friends to tell “Mike” stories, that is my kind of humor. :) Pax is still working on his moccasin.:)

Hi Ameena, how are you?:)

Stop copying the rude comments. Let Brad and Angie and their fans have peace of mind. Haters, find another hobby. There are many sites where they spread hate, at least here the fans love, what’s wrong with loving someone? Why are there people who hang around to make others unhappy? Check yourselves if you do that all let the fans have some fun.

Hiya BAMPZS fans!!! Many thanks for the links to pics and videos. Here is a new Angie video…at least new to me :-)

Eh, you do know that most fans here did not believe the interview that James “supposedly” gave to the British tabs, don’t you? In fact, most of us saw it as tabloid trash, it was just a sort of positive tabloid trash. I don’t even believe what they write about __ because they lie and like to cause drama.

Body lang experts where are you??

Brad Pitt weakness Angelina jolie

Hello Everyone! Someone at the last thread posted the covers of the latest tabloids. I wish they would leave them alone. I kinda hope we get photos soon that show what a bunch of liars these tabs normally are.

It has been so quiet and there have been no sightings that they could be anywhere.

You haters are just like US Weakly and other tab rags. You squirm in your seats in front of the computer if you didn’t see or hear about the BAMPZS because it would be more harder for you to make up stories, telling lies.
When the BAMPZS come out, I hope they will have a family portrait cover of PEOPLE Magazine. That would really make the you haters and the rags crazy. Won’t it?

What you said is not only sick and disgusting but it is an insult to everyone that is adopted or has adopted children to say there children are not related. Adopted children are just as much related as biological siblings. I find it ironic that you make this comment suggesting that AJ is disturbed and yet you don’t realize the content of your own comments.

Real Fans Know @ 04/06/2007 at 3:24 pm

Just by looking at that picture we all knew this was just the veginning as Angelina has said (real fans know) that she has always dreamed of adopting many children. Brad has made her dreams come true, in more ways than one. Here she was just 27 an a mom. this is what she said has changed her. She was still married to BBT at the time and we saw that being married to him did nothing for her spirited behavior. BBT added nothing to the marriage as a man much older that Angelina should have. Her evolution came about ON HER OWN. All these changes in her life: becoming a mom, getting divorced frm BBT, her first trip to Cambodia, becoming a Goodwill Ambassador really was preparation for her destiny with Brad.

Mr and Mrs Smith @ 04/06/2007 at 3:26 pm

Bampzsers, a request to all of us; When answering a nasty post, please do not repeat it in your answer, or at least, do not repeat it word for word. That kind a makes the use of the flag button ineffective/pointless. It can also have a great answer deleted for that reason only and that would be a shame.

I think this is the last pic of her taken when she was pregnant. she was so big.

I just love it…. I love to be a BAMPZS fan!!! Hey thank you so much for all the pic links :-) I don’t know if this has been posted today. I love this pic af Angie.

http://s2.supload.com/image.php?get=01m-20061212123604.jpg

Looking at all Angie’s pictures that posted here, she is soooooo beautiful inside out.
Can not blame Brad Pitt to fall in love with her, who won’t be?

j/p fans are ‘loons with no lives’…

I miss them too - lol….boy, we didn’t know how lucky we were seeing the fam going on their little morning jaunts in NOLA eh? Don’t get me wrong - I’d rather not see them, and know they are having a blast bonding as a family - and planning more amazing things together. They simply rock like nobody’s business.

I’d love it if they were on their honeymoon right now, and PEOPLE Mag got the exclusive pics AGAIN - this time of a wedding and the whole fam together. Hahahaha!! Would the top of Janice Min’s head blow off or what?! :lol:

Hand-picked famlies

More couples are adopting multiple times and reaching out to distant lands

BY RHODA AMON
rhoda.amon@newsday.com

April 6, 2007

As he gathered his large brood for a family portrait, Paul Tonna reflected on the joys of multi-parenthood.

“We’re the most selfish people in the world,” he said of himself and his wife, Carol. “Every day is a party.”

The party consists of the couple’s seven adopted children, ages 1 to 11. Four are Latino, two are African-American and one is American Indian. “My children are all Americans. We talk to them about how America is so great because it is a melting pot,” Paul Tonna said.

Before they started their own melting pot, the Tonnas, who are white, were a consummate career couple, he a young Suffolk County legislator, she commuting to Rockefeller Center, where she was a project manager in telecommunications. Then one day Carol said to Paul, “We’ve got to do something more with our lives.”

The Tonnas became part of a growing trend toward nontraditional multiadoptions. While families of seven or more biologically related children used to be fairly common, the number of large families in which all the kids more or less resemble their parents has been shrinking in recent years as couples marry later and have dual careers.

The proportion of married-couple households with biological children dwindled dramatically, from 40 percent of all households in 1970 to 24 percent in 2000, according to the U.S. Census. The number of households of seven or more plummeted from 2.8 million in 1960 to 1.4 million in 2005.

What’s emerging are large families of kids who don’t look like their parents — or each other.

More than 135,000 children are adopted annually, of which 13,000 to 14,000 involve babies voluntarily relinquished domestically, according to the latest survey by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute. Of non-stepparent adoptions, 26 percent come from abroad — a whopping increase from 5 percent of adoptions reported in 1992.

The boom in international adoptions is, in large part, due to a steady drop in numbers of young children available for adoption inside the United States, down from 132,000 in 2000 to 118,000 in 2004, due to lower birth rates and increased acceptance of single parenthood.

Actress Angelina Jolie lent glamour to this trend with her much-publicized adoptions of Maddox, 5, from Cambodia, Pax Thien, 3, from Vietnam and Zahara, 2, from Ethiopia. Her family also includes Shiloh, a daughter born 11 months ago to Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt.

“I have the ability to help children fulfill their desire” for a home and family, the actress recently told a Vietnamese newspaper. “Why should I say no?”

The numbers of American families saying “yes” to transracial adoptions amounts to a whole revolution in adoption, once largely considered the province of “white parents adopting white infants given up by unwed mothers,” said Adam Pertman, executive director of the Donaldson Adoption Institute. Besides societal changes in America, the trend in overseas adoption has been influenced by world events, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, which revealed large numbers of children in orphanages needing homes, and the Chinese one-child policy, which led to the abandonment of baby girls, Pertman said.

“It’s challenging our understanding of what is a family, when families don’t look the way we used to think of families,” Pertman said. “It impacts the whole community.”

High cost, long wait

It’s not always easy to say “yes” to overseas adoptions, which can cost $16,000 to $30,000, including legal and travel expenses, and applicants may have to wait months or even years to cut through bureaucratic regulations and bring home a child.

In most cases, it’s easier to adopt older American children now in foster care looking for permanent families. There’s some evidence that adoptive parents who originally sought infants are willing to compromise on age. The Suffolk County Social Services Department reported that of 130 finalized adoptions last year, 68 were

7 and older, including 10 who were 16 or older, the highest number ever, said Dennis Nowak, a spokesman for the department’s children’s services.

Get-acquainted visits

Alcides and Gladys Rivera of Patchogue, both Puerto Rican born and Brooklyn raised, were ready to adopt any child they fell in love with, regardless of age and ethnic origin. “We were absolutely open-minded,” Gladys said. They took the county training program and became certified adoptive parents. After weekend get-acquainted visits, they knew they wanted Stephanie, an African-American now 14, who became available for adoption three years ago. More recently, they added Tatiana, 3, and Izabella, 2, sisters of mixed African-American and Dominican heritage.

Joseph and Denise Saggio, both 46, are advocates for orphans wherever they’re found. They first adopted Christopher, 8, and Emma, 5, from South Korea, then reached out to Guatemala for Vincent, now 11 months. “There are 143 million orphans in this world,” Denise reflected in her sunny Stony Brook kitchen under banner letters spelling out W-E-L-C-O-M-E- H-O-M-E-V-I-N-C-E-N-T.

The Saggios, who have three older biological children ages 16, 14 and 11, do more than adopt — they encourage other adoptive families through a support group started in their church, the Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle. The Adoption and Orphan Care Ministry now numbers 15 families, most of whom have adopted or want to. One couple, Sherry and Cliff Schrage of Center Moriches, are working on their sixth adoption.

Extraordinary parents

Adoptive parents invest more time and financial resources in their children than biological parents, according to a new national study recently published in the American Sociological Review. Perhaps because they “really want children and will go to extraordinary means to have them,” adoptive parents spend more time reading to them, talking with them, helping with their homework and exposing them to cultural activities, the study co-authors said. The only category in which adoptive parents fared worse was in not talking as frequently with parents of other children.

That’s where the church support group is most helpful, said Joseph Saggio. “We help each other go through the adoption process. You don’t feel alone when you can talk to someone who has been through it before and can tell you what the next step will be.”

There are other hurdles. Some neighbors are less than friendly to a large, mixed-race brood. “They get over it when they get to know the kids,” Saggio said. Older children may have difficulty adjusting to a different way of life. A Brooklyn couple who adopted three Latino sisters, ages 9 to 13, reported that at first they were “bouncing off the walls.” With regular mealtime and bedtime hours, the energy explosion subsided.

Ethnic identity

An important question for international adoptive parents is: “How can I help the kids feel comfortable in their own skin?” said Pertman of the Donaldson Adoption Institute who is working on a study of identity. “From mega-issues it comes down to ‘How can I help with my daughter’s hair, which is not the same as my hair?’”

The close bond that develops among member families of the church group helps the children feel accepted, Denise Saggio said. At get-togethers with some 30 adopted children, Christopher Saggio hangs out with Russian-born Yuri. “We have a lot of fun,” he said.

Korean-born Thomas Schrage, 16, has given more thought to adoption than Christopher has. “I’ve never felt out of place at all,” said Thomas, president of the sophomore class at Center Moriches High School. “But if God hadn’t provided me with this family, I don’t know where I would be now.”

Though raising the children as Americans, the Saggios want them to know their heritage. Christopher and Emma Saggio will go to a Korean weekend school in the fall.

The church group also assists families shouldering the financial burden. Members recently raised $2,500 to aid a couple adopting an Ethiopian child. The Saggios advise other families on resources available to them, such as a federal tax credit of $10,960 over a five-year period for adoptive parents with adjusted gross income of less than $204,410.

“We’ve always had a heart for kids without mommies and daddies,” said Cliff Schrage, 49, a Uniondale High School English teacher. In about five weeks, the Schrages will be off to Africa to pick up a 5-year-old boy, whom they have never seen.

The boy, whom they will call Samuel El Sheday Schrage, was one of a group of Ethiopian orphans brought to the United States last year by the Gladney Center for Adoption in Texas. “My wife was upset when she read that he didn’t find a home here,” Schrage recalled. “Every little boy needs a family. We said, ‘OK, here we go again.’”

The Schrages, who grew up together in Sayville, friends since age 11, have a biological daughter, Sarah, 24, now married and teaching in California; another daughter, Rebecca, died at a year old. Besides Thomas, they’ve adopted Laura, 19, now studying at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and Zachary, 12, both from Korea; a Cherokee Indian child named Abigail, 9, and Gabriel, 7, a Latino boy from the Bronx.

Like the other families, the Schrages do not let cultural or racial differences deter them when it comes to adoption. “Kids are kids,” said Cliff Schrage, who has published a novel, “A Fruitful Field,” partly based on adoption.

“We love the diversity,” said Denise Saggio, an attorney and now a stay-at-home mom who home-schools her kids. Her husband is co-owner of a Hauppauge-based computer business.

Church families will be hosting 10 Ethiopian orphans brought to Long Island in July by the Texas agency. The children will get free medical and dental exams, ice cream parties and a chance at a permanent home. More host families are needed.

The Tonnas, too, are unconcerned with ethnicity. “Our children just see each other as brothers and sisters,” Paul Tonna said. “We just asked for a baby,” said Carol Tonna, recalling how it all began. After trying to adopt locally, they learned in 1996 that a Mexican-American infant in Texas was ready to be picked up. “It took my wife one second to quit her job,” Paul Tonna said. After Paul, now 11, came John and Grace, both 10, Mary, 8, Carolann, 7, Joseph, 3, and Lucy, 1. An older son, Peter, 25, from a previous marriage, became “a happy big brother,” his dad said.

“My wife has found her true vocation, giving of herself,” said Tonna, 48. “And we have a lot of fun,” he added as Lucy crawled from one parent to the other, rewarded by a hug from each.

The children, born in different parts of the United States, share the Tonnas’ 200-year-old Huntington home, built by poet Walt Whitman’s grandfather in 1810. As with most suburban children, their days are packed with myriad after-school and weekend activities, including horseback riding, swimming lessons, band practice, piano, Cub Scouts and Brownies. Last vacation the Tonnas packed the family into their sturdy van and drove to Florida, with stops in Washington and Disney World.

As a Suffolk legislator for 12 years, including three as presiding officer, Tonna advocated for the poor, homeless and marginalized on Long Island, working for affordable housing and to eliminate child poverty. Now he is CEO of a preventive health care company in Hicksville and director of the Energeia Partnership, a leadership-training branch of Molloy College.

“You need two jobs when you have eight kids,” he said.

Tonna, who was recently named by Networking magazine as a “renaissance man” who enriches Long Island life, said his only regret is “that we didn’t start adopting earlier. I would like to have five more.”

Adoption came naturally to the Riveras. Alcides was himself adopted. Gladys Vasquez Rivera grew up surrounded by foster children and has two adopted brothers. Working since she was 14, she had a child at age 15. “Having a child kept me focused,” she said.

Married 10 years, the couple planned to adopt when they built their spacious four-bedroom house in Patchogue four years ago, “My daughter Ashley asked, why such a big house?” Gladys, now 35, recalled. “I told her ‘Don’t worry, it will be filled.’”

“I love my girls, though they rule over me,” Alcides Rivera, 41, joked as he hugged the two toddlers in a playroom dominated by colorful toys and a flat-screen TV playing cartoons. The Riveras retain cordial relationship with the children’s birth mother, who surrendered them for adoption “with conditions,” which allow her limited visitation.

Life is not easy. Alcides, who has two older children from a previous marriage, commutes to his job as a butcher in Brooklyn. Gladys catches the 6:50 a.m. out of Patchogue, then takes two subways to her job in a Manhattan medical office. Ashley, 19, gets the 2- and 3-year-old off to nursery school. Recreation is taking the whole family out to dinner.

Most of the families encourage the adopted children to appreciate their own heritage, and some steep themselves in the traditions. Carol Tonna is just back from an “eye-opener” trip to Africa, where she taught micro-gardening and experienced life in a mud hut.

Joe Saggio and his two oldest children, Joseph and Victoria, recently returned from Guatemala, where they delivered 1,500 donated pairs of shoes at eight orphanages.

More than shoes, he said, the children there “need someone to love them.”

James Haven DID give the interview. Clips of it can be seen on various websites. He was videotapped!!! while in England I believe. Look into it. For once … this tabloid fodder - is real. The video is available.

so to whoever called that one person uneducated, it was really you this time. It happened. It was seen on ETv and mentioned on Pink is the New Blog and several other legit gossip sites. I personally don’t understand why he would do so… but he did.
Wonder if Angie will cut him off too. Oh well. Good Luck to all.

One thing I never fail to get a laugh from his the haters sitting here all day, day after day, telling us how sick WE are. LOOOOL
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Psycologists says on Oprah that the brain tricks us into thinking that celebrities are aquaintances because they are in the tabs.

Oprah says there are so many that people should cross reference the tabs to see if they are real.

How bizarre that Oprah is discussing celebrities and tabloids just when we all were thinking she should do a segment on her program on this LOL!!!!!

Oprah mentions that she knew people talking about Brad & Angelina’s new child as if they knew them. Oprah said to her friends “do you know them”? LOL!!!!!

has anyone been catching 101 Juicest Hookups My money is on Brad and Angie being the #1 juciest couple since any show they have on couples brad and Angie are always number 1 ,its on 9:00ps est

Hey Clini—how are you? Here are a few more pics I’d forgotten I had saved…

Maddox is so cute in that picture….. i love those anklets/bracelets he’s got on … Angie is a real hip/ funky mommy… she and brad dress and adorn their beautiful children with very nice clothing and jewels …. their children are really very lucky to have both loving parents… I LOVE ME SO MUCH BRANGELINA FOREVER

LOL Susie - I know, they crack my sh*t up.

…and hey ‘I’m hungry’ (#147) — if there is videotape of James all over the web supposedly making those comments, why is it so hard for you to post a link? lol

Hey thanks guli - I’m bookmarking that — I love that one of AJ she has an expression on her face like, ‘B*tch, please.’ LOL

I’m sure it would have been on youtube if James actually did an interview. So far it’s been on tabs after tabs after gossip blogs over godssip blogs. These are a far cry from Newsweek or The Washington Post.

Apologies about my last post, I forgot to post the link to BJ’s appearance on Late Night with Conan.

If there was an interview, shows like E News would’ve shown it, especially when they made a special effort to mention Angelina’s appetite on their weekend edition.

And… I think that when the alleged article broke a few weeks ago, I’m sure that some people did look for it on the web. And if there was a clip, the link would’ve been posted.

Clearly, you’re bored and just want to d!ck people around.

Another example of a hater tactic - facilitating an unnecessary wild goose chase.

Even if James did give an interview…it was actually very good and nothing negative at all about his sister. Don’t you think maybe he too is a tad tired of this negativity towards his sister just because she makes her own decisions…everything she does, doesn’t do, thinks, says, wears, walks is put under a microscope?
Why would she be mad at him and cut him off just because their mum is gone? don’t be silly. If anything they are even more closer than ever.
Angie and her Dad had always had a tumultous relationship but the final straw was when instead of actually talking to her and helping her if she had problems like he thought, he decided to go to the press. That is hurtful especially when it’s your father. Her mum and brother have always been by her side supporting her no matter the stage of life she was in.
People just don’t want to accept that Angie is indeed very happy and settled with her family and is living a very full life.

anonymous @ 04/06/2007 at 4:53 pm

you guys are weird,, no new pics of them, so you post an old one…weird…it’s like you guys are almost obsessed with this couple.. you defend them like you know them, but in reality they are with their family and not givin two ***** about bloggers.. postin an old pic,, to get a new discussion about them going is just a little weird to me..IMO

Thanks for posting that.

You’d think the tabs would sit back and reflect on their actions which led to the so-called Brangelina Blackout: going on the MAMS set, stalking the two of them during the filming; photoshopping fake B & A beach shots; lying about Zahara’s birth mother and immediate relatives; stalking the family during Angelina’s pregnancy; questioning whether Angelina was undereating during the pregnancy based on the size of her arms; criticizing her decisions and actions during her pregnancy; dragging up ___ at any given opportunity, etc.

Brad and Angelina would have to be on crack if Star, US Mag, and their ilk have carte blanche in their access to this family.

Thanks Just Jared for the new thread. I wonder if some people have a problem when dlist, Perez or these other blogs use old pictures of AJ with their snarky or downright lying headlines. Just Jared posted a beautiful picture of AJ and Maddox. Also the fans have posted nice pictures also. I guess it is allright when Dlist post an old picture as long as he is making fun or lying about AJ. Whatever. Most blogs use old pictures if they do not have current ones. Nothing wrong with this. However, it is nice to come to a blog with postitive threads rather than the nasty, snarky threads that are posted just to spread tab gossip, lies and to get hits. Thanks again Just Jared. Best wishes to BAMPZS and peace to all.

Hey guys, it’s Easter weekend. I wonder if all those wedding rumors were true?

copy#163
The tabloid magazines are angry at Angelina Jolie because she gives exclusivity to PEOPLE magazine for the photos of her kids. I guess she’s free to give the photos to whatever magazine she likes! That’s her business!
I mean, why would she give rights to magazines like Star for example … they publish rumors! Rumors that do harm & are total fabrications!
The newest issue of Star has this headline on the cover: Angelina Walks Out on Brad & Dumps the Kids! How nice is that ??? !!! I find that to be so harsh …

Us Weekly on the other hand, reported on the cover that Angelina uses her kids to manipulate the media! That’s really rude!
I don’t think it’s the tabloid’s right to start getting back at Angelina & Brad for anything they choose to do!
It has been even going around that Us Weekly, Star & other celebrity weeklies are so fed up they’ve turned on Jolie & Pitt with a vengeance!
Come on! Cool It! It’s a free country!

During her Tomb Raider days she was simply the hottest person in history. Unfortunately she lost some of her appeal in recent years by becoming to skinny and - well - aging.

I just came back from the store and the tabloids are simply becoming rags that you read at the store and not pay for. ‘Star’ was comical, with so many psychologists commenting on rumors about the Jolie-Pitts. The saddest part of all is that they write 2 or 3 pages and then they put at the end of the reading that the story has been denied. What a waste of life and time.

Please. the tabs as wo desparate because they know any other news that’s not about Brad or Angelina will not sell. How come we don’t see Aniston, Reese, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba on the covers, hmmm? It’s not like you have to have a real story to be on the cover of the tabs so why not someone else? At least pretend you are a celebrity magazine, LOL!!!! Brad and Angelina are not supposed to be on the covers every week, so why are they upset?
Those pamplets are really something else. LOL!!!!! Are they reporting about Angelina’s directorial debut? NO. Brad’s new role in Stae of Play? No, so what are the tabs gonna talk about?

Thanks Guli.

From an TV Guide interview with ELizabeth Mitchell from their latest edition( Sorry for any typos)

[bold] You played Angelina Jolie’s lover in HBO’s TV-movie Gia. What’s your best
Angelina story? [/bold]
I think she’s an exemplary human being. Kind, incredibly smart, lovely. But my story has nothing to do with her intelligence and everything to do with adventure. We were bwhind the wheel of a little sports car in one scene and the director said,”Peel away from here and go in a circle.” She turned to me and said,”I’ve never driven a stick shift but we will what happens.” And she threw that thing in high gear and man, if she didn’t execute it perfectly. It was fantastic. Ther’s something about her that inspires trust.

The new information I read about from Angie’s manager, is that Angie worked for a total of 35 days last year and she will work for a total of 40 days this year. So much for all the noise about her not staying at home.

#163, the webmaster posted old picture or news because he/she needs ad revenue. The number of comments on the post shows the advertising clients that the site is heavily viewed therefore they should commit to another month/quarter, or whatever term there is, of advertising. Look at all the ads flashing on this site, or any site/blog. You don’t think the webmaster put out his/her time, pays for internet domain and servers and programmers to just have fun with us gossip readers, do you?

Angelina/Brad generate hundreds, oftentime thousands, of comments. The webmaster is laughing all the way to the bank with that number. TomKat probably is another. So, if there’s no new picture/news, a thread is created with old one and a few seemingly innocent but stirring statements to provoke us into leaving comments. And the bank account is filled up again.

I suspect some of the antagonists on each thread are employers of the site. Tabloids and sites like this one could be owned by one company. The joke is on us gossipers. :)

How bizarre that Oprah is discussing celebrities and tabloids just when we all were thinking she should do a segment on her program on this LOL!!!!!

Oprah mentions that she knew people talking about Brad & Angelina’s new child as if they knew them. Oprah said to her friends “do you know them”?LOL!!!!!
____________________________________________________________________

She really said that? I have to watch the repeat of her show tonight.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Yeah she did. The segment came after the little interview with Sen. John Edwards wife. the topic of today’s show was “confessions” and this one lady stood up and confessed that she was addicted to tabloids. Then she went on and on as to why and even mentioned that eveyone knows who Angelina Jolie is no matter what your opinion is of her. Oprah was looking at her like, WTF? Oprah then mentioned to the woman did she know that all these tabloids have conflicting cover and doesn’t that send off a red flag.. but the woman was like she finds it all very interesting. Oprah looked at her like, hmmmmm, LOL!!!! Then Oprah made the shrink stand up and describe why this facination with celebrities and the shrink mentioned that it’s a trick the brain plays on us. It makes us think that we know these people, LOL!!!!
Oprah then mentiond how many tabs there were and how it’s worse today than even and that it will get worse before it gets better…uh.. I think the shrink said that. Oprah then asked the audience about the whole ANS saga..she asked them did any of them know who she was before everything about her since her and her son’s death were front page. Many said yeah and Oprah was like, really? She barely knew who she was.

Interesting—- I just love the way he is looking at her, God knows what he’s thinking, of course my imagination goes wild with that one. :lol:

Have you seen this one yet, danggit the woman is beautiful, even with minimal make-up…

Er, James Haven doesn’t need Angelina’s money - he’s a pretty prolific second assistant director in Hollywood - ironically, he’s even listed as such on Derailed starring [x], though considering what a piece of sh*t it was, I doubt it was his proudest moment. Muahahaha!! I bet he was able to give Angelina some inside info — like how he never once saw Brad on set EVER. ;-) Loves it. He just completed the John Cusack, Samuel Jackson and Mary McCormack thriller 1408.

BRB…

It weird that whenever Orpah wants to talk about Brad and Angelina its always in some sort of “obsessed” or negative way. She can’t say hey they do alot with the attention on them. No its sort of negative, not nice. She bugs me.

Sorry Cliniqua, but this is other James Haven, not Angies brother.

I’m not Oprah’s biggest fan but that’s not entirely true. She’s talked very nicely about their adoption before. I also think she recognizest the good that Brad and Angie do.

=========================
James Haven (Voight) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0369754/ he makes B and C movies, he needs angelina’s money.

OT: Gyllenspoon is officially a couple. where’s the outrage? Reese ’s divorce is not final yet. ***rolling eyes***

Reese is now officially a beard (or so I’ve heard).

Here the tabs have the newest Goldengirl/Americas sweetheart in a relationship with a “hot” leading male actor. Which tab will be the first to put gyllenspoon on their cover with ‘exclusives’ of their relationship? Reese is an obsession form an=many girsl and women and this issue would be a good seller. which tab will be the first to dump their lame desparate attacks on BAMPZS and put something fresh like Reese and Jake on their cover? Would Ms. Min have enough brain cells to put together this cover or will she be scooped by People Magazine again? LOL!!!!!!!!

Al Gore to Open Tribeca Film Festival
The Associated Press
Thursday, April 5, 2007; 6:03 PM

NEW YORK — Al Gore will host the opening night gala of the Tribeca Film Festival, which will begin with a series of short films on global warming.

The festival, which will run from April 25 through May 5, is taking the rare step of opening not with a high-profile feature film but seven short films presented by the Save Our Selves (SOS) campaign.

This is the sixth annual Tribeca Film Festival, which was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal to help rejuvenate Lower Manhattan following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

She told the audience what her friends were discussing, Brad & Angelina and their new adopted child. Oprah then said she asked her friends “do you know them”? Like why are you all discussing every little thing about them as if you know them? That was the feel of her attitude. Being in her position, I’m sure that strangers come up to her or talk about her as if they know her personally because she’s on TV everyday.

Angie’s brother just bought another house for a few million-The one he had included his dad on title with him (he signed it over to him-that was commendable)anyway he made a profit. They were not priviledged growing up but I think James has a little cheese of his own

—————————-

I agree totally. Oprah is always half stepping with Brad and Angelina — knowing that she kissed Maniston ass I guess she doesn’t want to do to much of an about face. She painted herself into a corner with them - it’s of her own making and she knows it. I recall after that last pathetic attempted revival of Maniston’s career where she whined about her boobs and the tabloids and her 10 minute movie she CO-directed with a fat goddess pal, Oprah’s website message board was inundated with hundreds and hundreds of anti-Maniston posts. I was happily surprised - these weren’t JJ people either - these were regular Oprah tv audience members who were fed up with how O was constantly cradling Maniston to her bosom and giving the 110 millionairess a shoulder to cry on because her life was sooooo horrible and all. Their main concern was that Oprah’s nauseating coddling and obvious side taking of the b*tch was hypocritical of what she said she had always been a proponent of, namely strength, positivity, character and integrity. With her deifying Maniston she was basically telling women to act like a victim for two years after a divorce, whine, b*tch and moan constantly about your life and your problems, and not achieve anything of import. That was Oprah’s message by picking Team aniston.

She realizes that now, which is why she sneaks in the occasional quick Brangelina compliment (about thir philanthropy) or a neutral comment within a negative context as you say, like she did today.

It will be interesting to see how the O13 premiere is handled. Since I know Brad found that whole Maniston/Oprah love fest disgusting. Here Man had stabbed him in the back and slandered Angie and the kids, and Oprah’s giving her and her bugly friends sleepovers, the b*tch. LOL

I predict Oprah will stick close to Clooney, as he will be the buffer between she and Brad. Brad will be polite, but that will be it. She burnt her bridge with him, and she knows it. Furthermore, if O13 Chicago is all about Oprah, Brad might not even show up….he could pull a Tom Cruise on her azz and just not give her any props at all.

My fantasy scenario: I would love for Angelina to surprise the b*tch and go to the Chicago premiere (but I don’t think she’ll be there) that would be funny as hell to have Oprah caught posing on the cover of some mag and/or rag with Angelina, O smiling her big cheesy grin, kissing the boys ass and indirectly, Angelina’s — hahahaha - knowing all the while that Maniston will get to see it…hahahaha…. - unfortunately, Angelina will most likely ONLY do Cannes w/ Brad (and MAYBE L.A.) but that’s it.

By the way, I watched Kathy Griffin’s standup last night, and she roasted Oprah GOOD….she does her voice and that yelling thing she does with her audience TO A TEE. I loved how she had her just yelling ‘JOHN TRA-VOLTAAAAAA!!!’ for no reason out of the blue. What a kiss azz O is…ugh — she did that same weird thing with Maniston, ‘MY FRIEEEEEND, JENNIFER ANISTOOOOOON!’ - I’m like b*tch, this WILL come back to bite you. Sure enough, Brangelina are hotter than the fookin’ sun and on everybody’s lips, and Maniston is unemployed, barely drawing in extra viewers for a crappy guest syndicated TV cable show - and can only get press when she slices and dices her face, or is rumored to be dating someone in the industry. Even THAT is because of “Brad Pitt” - because all the lonely buglies want to see Maniston triumph and land a man in he wake of her dumping. It’s really not about her and whoever she ends up with, the poor sap — it’s STILL about ‘Brad Pitt’ that’s why anyone at all even CARES. Like I’ve said, many a time - we wouldn’t be having this discussion if Tate Donovan had dumped her azz.

I think Angelina is more likey to do the O13 premeire in Chicago since it will be a fundraiser to help the people in Darfur. I am indifferent to Oprah. I also don’t think Oprah will be the ones preventing the Jolie-Pitts attending. I think if Angelina does not go it is because she is to busy filming her movie, not because she is avoiding Oprah.

I liked the comments Elizabeth Mitchell made about Angelina in this week Tv Guide. I posted the comments earlier this afternoon.

Is it any wonder AJ has not been seen lately? The rabid press with their slander and irresponsible inferrences that can only inspire the crazies to commit to reality what some of these mags, I believe, want to happen. What do they want? They want her to succumb so they can throw stones or explain her weakness. They want her or her children to be kidnapped so they can ‘be there for the family’. They want ugliness and tragedy because first it sells, and second they hate her for her showing them up as small and petty tabloid whores. Can you imagine if an elected official was subjected to this same amount of irresponsible feading frenzy? There would be police action at the very least.

Wow lots of peeps on tonight!

Curly WELCOME BACK! Thank you! Poor guli knew for a bit but I asked her not to tell till I could handle it! Heck we may get married at guli’s next summer! Susie’s suggestion! If I was smart I’d just say Susie plan, knock yourself out! We kind of talked about a BAMPZS convention, what do you think about VEGAS!?

To malibumom: PT's last tabloi @ 04/06/2007 at 7:57 pm

Before I get into the tab news for this week, I’d like to take a few seconds inform everyone of some very, very sad news. I would be remiss in my duties at the tabloid reporter if I failed to mention that a good and great friend of mine received some bad news last week. Much to my dismay and distress I have learned that Bonnie Fuller had been demoted at the Star and is no longer editor-in-chief. Yes, indeedy, folks…it is a sad, sad day in the tabloid world. Due to a hefty deficit for 2006, Bonnie is no longer the Queen of Lying Scumbag Tabloidists. The old queen had died. All hail the queen. Janice Min inherits the throne by right of succession. When the biggest b#tch dies…the second biggest b#tch inherits. All hail the queen. Long live the queen. Amen.

Alrighty…now that we’ve got that out of the way…on to the tabs. Here is how you know that there is no news coming out of BAMZSPLand - every tab has a different story and many of them steal their story from the British dailies. Oops, my bad, it’s not “stealing”. It’s “expound upon”. There is good news, though - OK! has given the J-Ps the week off. And, of course, the bad news is that Janice Min uses this week’s issue of US to wage war against Angie…and does a piss-poor job of it if I say so myself. These people can’t even do a simple hatchet job right. Remember this point for later - when you screw up minor details that are a matter of public record? It tends to lead the reader to doubt the accuracy of the rest of your article. Apparently US LIES Weakly is feeling the same financial pinch as Star and they can’t afford a fact-checker. More on the US LIES WEAKLY later…

- National Enquirer: Story - “Angelina’s Adoption Nightmare: Boy’s heroin addict mother NEVER signed papers.” Gee…I wonder where the NE got this story from? Surely they’d never use another tabloid as their source…would they?

* According to the NE’s intrepid reporter, just days after learning that Pax’s mother was a heroin addict Angie also found out that his mother never gave up him for adoption, that his grandparents were the ones who signed the papers turning over custody to the orphanage. (Sidebar: Somehow I doubt that Angie would care if the kid’s mother was a smack addict…she’s been there and done that herself.)

* The NE says that the revelation that his mother never signed over custody has scared Angie into thinking that she may be facing a lengthy court battle for custody of her new son. (Sidebar: Uh…the mother is a POOR heroin addict, not a rich one. Methinks she’ll have a little trouble affording a lawyer…)

* The NE also says that Pax’s grandfather, Chien, is the one who told a “European newspaper” that the mother was an addict. (Sidebar: Hmmm…”European newspaper”. Now there’s a euphemism for The News of the World that some would quibble with…for instance…ME.)

* NE’s “European newspaper” source says that 2 days after Pax’s birth his mother fled the hospital because she could not afford the $30 bill. The bill is equivalent to a month’s wages. (Sidebar: I’m missing something here…how does not being able to afford the bill equate to abandoning your child? If you were just worried about not being able to pay the bill…wouldn’t you take the kid with you when you snuck out the back door?)

* Pax’s grandmother says that they are happy he’s found a good home, but watch-out for her sneaky kid. “We are delighted he has found to such a wonderful home but my daughter is very smart - and she is also very stubborn, wayward and difficult. I just pray that she forgets all about him.”

* NE’s adoption experts say that despite the fact the mother didn’t sign the adoption papers herself Angelina has nothing to worry about and the adoption cannot be legally challenged. They also say that Angie’s rep insists Angie is not worried about the adoption being challenged and she’s 100% sure there will be no problems with it. (Sidebar: If everybody’s so freaking sure there’s nothing wrong…then why in the hell did y’all waste a tree to print this idiot story?)

* Sidebar: Weight Loss Has Family Worried. Here’s how little info is getting out of J-PLand…not only does the NE have to use an NOTW story…not they’ve moved on to the London Daily Mail, another British bastion of bullsh#t. Yes, that’s right…now they’re citing the interview that the Daily Mail claims they did with Angie’s brother James. In the interview “James” indicated that the family was very worried about Angie’s weight. As the NE put it…she’s “anorexic-looking”. “James” attributes the weight loss to grief and the NE estimates that she as lost at least 20 pounds and is down to 100 pounds at 5′7″. According to the Daily Mail “James” told them, “Angelina has become very thin because she is grieving. It’s even difficult for her to eat. I keep saying to her, ‘Don’t forget to eat.’…” (Sidebar of my own: Based on what I know about Angie’s bro, which ain’t much, I doubt he spoke to the Daily Mail. For one thing, I’ve only ever heard him refer to her as “Angie”…not “Angelina” as was used repeatedly in the Mail’s story.)

- OuttaTouch: Story - “The Struggle To Stay Together: Once Attached At The Hip Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Are Finding That Balancing Work and Family is Much Harder Than They Expected.” Well la-ti-fcuking-da. Welcome to parenthood.

* According to OuttaTouch, after the adoption was finalized Angie called a friend to express her joy with Pax. Her supposed friend said Angie was “overcome with joy,” but then talk turned to her relationship with Brad, Angie got very quiet and “more serious”. Her pal says, “Brad and Angelina’s honeymoon is over. They went from lovers to exhausted parents, and it’s taking a major toll on both of them.” (Sidebar: Gee…wasn’t that awfully convenient for OuttaTouch that Angie called a friend who feels no qualms with selling the info to OuttaTouch. Tres convenient.)

* Once big sign of trouble in Brad & Angie’s relationship is that Angie went to Vietnam to pick up Pax with just Z and Madd while Brad and Shiloh stayed in LA. OuttaTouch says it worth noting that Brad went to Ethiopia with her to pick up Z and although his rep insists Brad had to stay behind because of work commitments on CCOBB OuttaTouchs’ PAID INSIDERS say that’s not the case. The insider says that as a producer of CCOBB “he could have taken a long weekend and flown over there with Shiloh. It was odd he wasn’t there to pick up Pax.” (Sidebar: What’s even odder is that Brad SUDDENLY became a producer of CCOBB when this article was printed. ROTFLMAO. Brad is NOT listed among the producers for CCOBB. Surely OuttaTouch wouldn’t make that up for the purposes of making their story look legit? Nah.)

* OuttaTouch says Angie’s former friend says things have been getting progressively “tense” between B/A for a while now, mainly because of the “increasingly frantic household”. The supposed pal says, “Kids will be kids, and Brad and Angie’s kids are no exception. Zahara is jealous of Shiloh, Maddox is a tad mischievous and Shiloh is still up much of the night - so their house is like a three-ring circus.” (Sidebar: Okay, kids…get out your pens…here’s another tactic of Tabloid Journalism 101 are in use here? Tactic #7 - using known quotes of your subject(s) and creating a quote for your source.)

* A “pal” of Brad’s also weighs in on the relationship and he says that as much as Brad adores his kids it’s all starting to wear him out, “He is completely overwhelmed. Their houses really look like they have kids. There are toys everywhere, and although it’s clean, it is very messy. That’s making Brad a little nuts.” The pal also says this is a problem because Brad likes a neat, organized house. (Sidebar: Excuse my liberated ass, but if Brad don’t like the mess he can clean it up his damned self. He was the one who wanted the soccer team! Well, guess what Brad, someone has to put away the equipment at the end of practice!)

* According to OuttaTouch when Brad and Angie first started dating “their chemistry seemed magical” and they agreed about their future, but now they’re not communicating as well as they have in the past. Brad’s ex-pal also says because of their careers, the kids, and their charity work they don’t have time to talk anymore, “Before Shiloh was born, Brad and Angie were together all the time. They used to have romantic date nights and really made time to talk. They simply don’t have time to do that anymore.” (Sidebar: Boo-fcuking-hoo. That’s a song every married couple with kids on the planet is singing. Just make sure you sing on Key, Brad.)

* OuttaTouch says the problem is exacerbated because Angie hasn’t been herself since her mother died. Yet another tab looks to the UK press for information to bolster their story. We go once again to the London Daily Mail’s supposed interview the James Haven, “Angelina has become very thin because she’s grieving. She has not wanted to eat, nor has she been able to.” (Sidebar: Sick of reading that quote already? Well, keep a wastebasket or barf-bag handy because it won’t be the list time you see it in the report.)

* In the end, OuttaTouch declares that although Brad and Angie are committed to their kids, they need to work on their relationship. Brad’s pal says, “If they are going to stay together some major changes need to be made.” (Sidebar: I can say the same about OuttaTouch’s desire to stay in business.)

* Caption of an old photo of Angie carrying Mad & Z…these people are such a riot…a PAID INSIDER says, “Brad likes to call the shots, but Angie is very strong-willed and he knows it. He is trying to adjust.” (Sidebar: Remember this quote when I get to the US story. Somebody needs to tell these rags to coordinate their stories better - either Angie is the boss or Brad is. For tabloid purposes, they can’t possibly compromise on anything…)

* Sidebar: They Have Tough Times Ahead. And what obstacles await our intrepid pair, you ask? Why, doggonit if OuttaTouch doesn’t have the answer!

1. Integrating New child - gotta bond with old Pax, ya know.

2. Wedding Discussions - OuttaTouch says that according to “published reports”, i.e., our sister publication Lifeless & Styleless, Brad and Angie are jumping the broom! that’s right. They’re tying the knot in Costa Rica…or the Bahamas…or…the Dominican Republic…or some other destination on this Blue Planet. A pal of the couple says, “Angelina talks about planning a wedding, but then a few weeks later she tells him she’s not ready. (Sidebar of my own: How convenient for the tabs…they says she’s always planning and never ready, hence they continue to claim that Brad/Angie are getting hitched. Love really is a many splendoured thing.

3. Balancing Work & Family - According to OuttaTouch Brad will be shooting CCOBB in LA until May, then they’re off to Prague so Angie can shoot her flick, then in the fall Brad has 2 more movies on his schedule. The good news is that, surprisingly, Brad will be going to Prague with Angie. I’m shocked. Are you shocked? Cuz ya know X is shocked and the world is shocked right along with her. Brad’s rep told these morons, “He will be in Prague with her for the entire shoot. When one is working the other isn’t.” (Sidebar of my own: Amazing how they have to keep telling these twits that they take turns working and one of them will always be with the kids. Cindy G probably has a recording of that sentence that she plays when the tabs call - “If you are calling for a quote regarding Brad’s plans for the Spring, press 1 now.” The tab reporter presses 1 and get’s the recording of Cindy saying, “He will be in Prague…”)

Sidebar: Could Angelina Lose Her New Son? Yet another American tab who thinks that News Of The World is a legitimate news source. OuttaTouch quotes their story on Pax’s mother like it’s the freaking Time magazine. They cover the basics of the article - mother is a heroin addict who never signed over custody of Pax. Grandparents signed over custody in her stead when she abandoned him. Grandfather says his daughter is may be after money and try to get Pax back. Aunt says her sister thinks about her son a lot and could try to get him back..blah blah blah blah…it’s all made up anyway so who gives a rat’s ass…

Sidebar: Maddox Is Already Jealous. Yep, that’s right…Add OuttaTouch to the cadre of tabloids pimping a child for a story. According to OuttaTouch, although Angie tried to involve Maddox in the adoption process from beginning to end she anticipated that Mad would be upset by all the attention she was devoting to his new bro. So…in mid-March Angie “looked into taking him to a therapist” because in less than 2 years he’s gone from being an only child to having 3 sibs. According to their PAID INSIDER, “Angelina knows it’s hard on him to share her affections.” Another PAID INSIDER says, “She has to make an effort to spread the love equally.” (Sidebar of my own: She “looked into taking him to a therapist”…exactly WTF does that entail? She got online and Googled “Therapists to help Mad get over jealousy”? Or did she just get out the yellow pages and look under “Psychiatrist, Pediatrics” then close the book and go on her merry way?)

Sidebar: A Child Has Caused Problems Before. I sh#t you not…they DO go there. OuttaTouch dredges up the specter of BBT. They say that at one point Angie & BBT couldn’t keep their hands off each other, but when she adopted Maddox that all changed. (Sidebar of my own: Mainly because BBT is an a##hole, but hey, this ain’t my tale to tell…) They used Angie’s quote that “Overnight we totally changed. I think one day we just had nothing in common…” (Sidebar of my own: Talk about your asinine comments. Let’s just put this sidebar down to them having an 1/8 page they needed to fill, becuz really…comparing Brad to BBT is like comparing Prince Charming to Freddy Kruger. One is your dream come true and the other is your worst nightmare.)

Sidebar: Brad’s Mom Is Trying To Help. That’s right…they had another 1/8 page to fill. According to OuttaTouch Angie is determined to save her relationship with Brad. And how exactly is she doing that? Why…the same way women all through the ages have gotten on their husband’s good side…by sucking up to their mama! Yep, it seems Angie has an “unlikely ally” in Jane and had gone to her for help. A supposed pal of Angie’s says they have formed “a special bond” since Marcheline’s death and that Jane supports Angie “in every way”. “Jane loves being a grandmother.” And A PAID INSIDER says, “Angelina thinks of her as a substitute mom.” (Sidebar of my own: That’s right ,folks, the tabs have turned the tide and now Jane and Angie are bestest buds and have a surrogate mother/child relationship. Methinks Brad’s lawyer has been in contact with them again about laying off his ‘rents.)

- Lifeless & Styleless: Story - “Brad & Angie’s New Kidnap Threat! A Deadly Plot Terrifies Brad & Angie - And Leaves Them Struggling To Fight Back.” Yep…that’s right…another tab expounding upon a story from a UK tab. I believe the original story was another News Of The World gem. This is how you KNOW it’s a slow news week in BAMZSPLand - As a general rule…if you live next door to someone and they supposedly had a house fire…but you find out about it from someone who lives 6,000 miles away…then chances are…the neighbor’s house was never on fire and it’s just a rumor. And that’s what the Lifeless & Styleless story is - smoke and mirrors…only the mirrors are cracked…and the smoke is from their crack pipe…

* L&S starts their saga saying that while Angie should’ve been “overjoyed” as she prepared to bring Pax home on March 19, instead she got some “terrifying news” from her security folks…presumably Mickey “Ad Man” Brett. What news, pray tell? Why, that nefarious entity was plotting to kidnap Angie and Pax when they got back to LA. (Sidebar: Uh…wouldn’t it have been easier to snatch them outside the US? Not that I mean to tell the NOTW how to write fiction…)

* L&S reminds us that Brad and Angie have faced threats before, “many of them baseless.” And by-the-by…Brad’s rep denies this story, BUT…our PAID INSIDER “close to the security team” (Sidebar: Presumably the janitor or possibly the maid.) says that the plot was “credible and meticulously planned. by a gang that’s pulled off kidnapping and extortion schemes before. The L&S insider says, “They’re highly skilled operatives with little regard for human life.” (Sidebar: It was so darned “meticulous” that no one thought to leave any information behind explaining for NOTW and L&S exactly what that plan was…cuz just for the record…they ain’t got any details, folks…)

* According to L&S the specifics of the plan were explained to by Angie’s bodyguards by “British security sources” and were described as “chilling”. (Sidebar: Once again…I’d like to re-iterate…L&S has ZERO details of this “chilling” but meticulously planned and undocumented, near-heinous act.)

* The PAID INSIDER says, “Information came out that leaders of the gang ordered their LA members to devise a plan to kidnap Pax before demanding a $100MIL ransom - which is equal to the profits of 1 year of drug dealing. Brad and Angie would then have a certain number of days to hand of the mula or “risk the boy’s life”. (sidebar: Oh, shoot…you know what? I am soooooooo sorry. I bet L&S considers these to be the “chilling” and “meticulous” details of this dastardly plot. I don’t know about anybody else, but so far it’s sounding like a Valerie Bertinelli Lifetime movie to me. Although…in her younger years I could certainly imagine Jaclyn Smith in the “Angie” role…can’t you?)

* After investigating this heinous plan it was “deemed credible and serious” and Angie was informed of the threat. According to a so-called friend of Brad’s, “The life drained out of Brad when he heard that. He was a wreck. He didn’t want to tell Angelina the extent of the threat, especially not until she returned stateside. But he had no choice. She needed to know so she could take the necessary precautions.” (Sidebar: This story is starting to sound like a bad Mr. & Mrs. Smith sequel. John & Jane’s son has been kidnapped…will our heroes cave into the pressure and pay the $100MIL ransom or come out guns blazing and go after the bad guys?)

* According to L&S’s PAID INSIDER, when Brad told Angie about the plot, “She sobbed that she’d die if anything happened to Pax.” (Sidebar: Sheesh…better make that a bad Mr. & Mrs. Smith sequel written by Danielle Steele.)

* L&S goes on to say that when it comes to her own safety Angie “doesn’t seem to have a care in the world” and quote her Newsweek article about traveling alone with just a backpack. However…when it comes to the ankle biters, she takes that seriously and takes appropriate action. For instance…and ya’ll knew there was gonna be an example…the last time Angie learned about a threat against her was just before the AMH shoot when they were “warned not to go to Pakistan because the kids were targets for terrorists” and because of that Angie had trouble eating for weeks and she became increasingly “frail” and had “fainting spells”. (Sidebar: What’s the deal with these tabs not even being able to get 6 month old info accurate? The AMH shoot was not moved because of a threat to AMZ or even A or BA. It was moved because they were told the Pakistani government couldn’t ensure their safety and the political climate was too volatile. That’s a far cry from, “Someone is going to kidnap and kill your children to make an example out of you.”)

* L&S says that according to friend of Angie’s the stress of worrying about Pax took a heavy toll on Angie, “She isn’t sleeping and barely eats. She doesn’t let the kids out of her sight. she seems on the verge of a breakdown.” (Sidebar: Big sniff…what’s that I smell? The stench of a future story?)

* If poor old Ange wasn’t stressed enough, L&S says that a British paper says that Pax’s mother, the heroin addict, never signed adoption papers giving up her rights to him and may ask for money or demand her son back. However, the orphanage assures L&S that the adoption is legal and binding and the mother has no chance of getting the boy back. (Sidebar: Okay, here’s the annoying thing. Every tab reports this NOTW info. And EVERY ONE of them knew it was made up. Do they not realize that repeating a lie incessantly doesn’t eventually make it true? Wait…DUH…if they ever realized that, they’d have to go out of business!)

* Meanwhile, back at the old homestead…Brad’s buddy says he reacted to the news of the kidnap plot by going into “total lockdown mode”. The friend also says, “He’s added manpower around their LA home and has told security he doesn’t want Angelina or the kids leaving the house without at least 5 security people.” (Sidebar: Yep…they got something right. Brad IS in “total lockdown mode.” That’s why L&S is making up this story…because there is absolutely ZERO information, legitimate or otherwise, coming out of BAMZSPLand! When are these people going to learn not to fcuk with Brad’s family? Idiots.)

* Luckily for little Pax, L&S says he’s “oblivious to the danger” he was in and on March 22 he and Angie started bonding like crazy in J-Ps “multimillion (dollar) hillside compound while armed guards patrolled”. (Sidebar: Now, I know what you’re saying, surely L&S has photo of the armed guards they SAY are outside the J-P home? Well, darn it…as luck would have it…the cameraman accidentally dropped his camera down a storm drain, that was conveniently left open just as he passed by, and the camera was washed away by the torrential rains Southern Cali gets this time of the year. Y’all did hear about the floods in Southern Cali last week…didn’t you?)

* L&S says that according to a “Pitt family insider” - once again, this would be Marvin and Elaine Pitt of Scofield, New Jersey - Brad is “putting on a brave face”. The PAID INSIDER says, “When you talk to Brad about Pax he laughs and says, ‘I still have a few more spots to fill on my soccer team.” Another supposed friend says that “deep down”, “They’re both terrified.” (Sidebar: More likely, deep down, they haven’t given the rumors another thought…although L&S certainly did.)

* Sidebar: Angie’s Wasting Away From Stress. Yep, that’s right…back to “Angie’s too skinny”. I think this is the third mag to quote the Daily Mail’s supposed interview with Angie’s bro. They use the same quote as everyone else - “Angelina has not wanted to eat…yada, yada, yada…” A soon-to-be-ex-friend says not eating because she’s worried about the kids and, “She’s pale and gaunt. She looks malnourished.” (Sidebar: “Malnourished” is a huge-ass stretch. We’ve all seen the photos malnourished people in Africa. Angie is far from being malnourished. Could she use a few hot meals that involve more than Brad’s man-made protein? Sure…even I can’t argue with that…but…if a girl’s gonna have a strict diet of man-made protein…I gotta say…she’s picked the right man…)

* Sidebar: They’ve Had Other Scares. “Oh, really?” you say? When? Well, hold your horses, I’m gettin’ there!

1. June 22, 2006 - “School Security” slips up at Maddox’s pre-school and a razzo gets too close to the school. (Sidebar of my own: “School security”? There was no “school security” you idiot buttw!pes! That’s how the guy got close enough to hide in the bushes!)

2. Oct 8, 2006 - While in Mumbai, Brad & Angie took Mad on a “taxi ride” and the razzi and crowds surrounded them. (Sidebar of my own: Holy freaking cow! Can these dumbsh#ts not get anything right? It was Pune not Mumbai and it was an auto-rickshaw, not a taxi. Sh#t happened almost 5 months ago and they’re too lazy to do a little research and get the city right? Hell…I’d better look myself to make sure they have the DATE right. As stupid as these people are that’s probably wrong, too!)

3. March 2006 - Per a British “newspaper” Angie was almost kidnapped by generic “gangsters” while on a humanitarian mission. (Sidebar: ROTFLMAO. Is there anything sadder than one tabloid repeating the lies of another…and acting like they don’t know it’s a lie? This, L&S, is why you’re always going to be a bottom-feeder regurgitating someone else’s lies. They had a prime opportunity to make up their OWN kidnap attempt and they weenied out. How pathetic.)

* Sidebar: Brad and Angie’s Houses are Fortresses. Yes, they are..and that why you’ll never have a legitimate story in this piece of sh#t rag. Sorry…I digressed…

1. While in they were in Namibia Brad had a high-tech security systems with multiple cameras installed at both the Malibu and Los Feliz houses. And they also have security guards at each house. (Sidebar: Damn…they actually printed a known fact. Who’da thunk it?)

2. In NOLA Brad had a $500K security system installed and a PAID INSIDER says, “There are police on every corner, so they’re very safe.” (Sidebar: A cop on every corner in NOLA? Pffft. Yeah, that’s because they’re waiting for the local crack dealer to give them their cut of the profits.)

* Sidebar: They’re Well Protected. Gitane…girl…your man got a shout-out from L&S! That’s right ladies. Cross your legs to contain your joy. According to L&S’s source, the Mickster is “clearly effective” but he has been a source of controversy. In Namibia & India it was reported that he roughed up reporters and photogs and threatened “to put someone in the hospital” if they got too close to Angelina. (Sidebar: I cannot believe they gave Mickey a shout-out and didn’t even use my favorite Mickey quote! “Nobody touches Jolie!” I bet the razzi cringe when they’re in a foreign country waiting to get photos of B&A…the car pulls up…and out steps Mickey…)

- Star: Story - “Angelina’s Nightmare: Birth Mom Wants Son Back!” At this point I would normally say something snarky about Bonnie Fuller’s baby…but…it’s no longer Bonnie’s baby, so now I’ve got a dilemma…do I strain myself to hunt down the new editor-in-chief’s name? Nah, why bother. Her tenure is gonna be short. I’ve got a feeling Star’s going to go through a number of managerial types trying to right their Titanic. The Star has hit an iceberg and is listing badly to starboard. (Arf, arf! I made a funny!) If this re-hash of the Daily Mail’s story is any indication of why Bonnie was relieved of her duties, then I totally understand why she was demoted. This story wreaks of desperation.

* According to the Star’s infallible sources, less than 2 weeks his adoption Pax is now waking up in an $8MIL MALIBU mansion, but it hasn’t been an easy transition for the tyke. (Sidebar: That might have something to do with the fact that he’s in Malibu and the rest of the family is Los Feliz…) Star’s PAID INSIDER says, “He’s having a hard time. Angelina has been learning Vietnamese so she can communicate with him, but he’s a little homesick. It’s very distressing for Angelina because she wants him to feel loved and safe.” (Sidebar: It’s also distressing because Pax having a hard time adjusting makes for a better story than, “He fit right in and loves his new family.”)

* However much trouble Pax is having adjusting, Angie has a bigger problem. That’s right…the Star says that contrary to initial reports that Pax’s mother was dead, according to that font of truth, the News of the World, his mother is very much alive and kicking and wants Pax back. Even more shocking…Pax’s mother, Dung, is a smack addict and insiders fear she will go to any lengths to profit from Pax’s adoption. (Sidebar: Speaking of people who will go to any lengths to profit from Pax’s adoption…Ms. Pot meet Ms. Kettle.)

* According to Pax’s grandfather, Chien, his daughter is a no good druggie, “Her life has been ruled by drugs since she was 16. When she finds out that a rich movie star has adopted her baby, she will go after Angelina Jolie for money and make trouble for her. She may even try to get they child back.” (Sidebar: And the good folks at Star are keeping their fingers crossed hoping it happens! I can see their headline now, “Pax’s Heroin Addict Mom Demands His Return!”)

* Star’s PAID INSIDER says this news has greatly upset Angie. “I don’t think anyone could challenge Angelina to do the absolute right thing every time she adopts a child from the legal standpoint. Working as she does on an international level with the UN, she always makes sure all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed.” The source goes on to say the mother’s emergence has put an unnecessary strain on Angie, “It’s just a nightmare scenario”. (Sidebar: Whuh? You mean the Star isn’t going to skew this to make Angie look like an obsessed, baby-stealing loon? No wonder Bonnie got canned.)

* What, you and the Star both want to know, went wrong? According to the Star - nothing. They say that Angelina has been assured that, “The adoption is final and binding.” (Sidebar: Then WTF did you write this story? Bonnie, old girl…I’m beginning to see why you got chopped off at the knees.)

* The Star’s that although nothing went wrong, their PAID INSIDERS insist that Angie may have known that the mother’s re-emergence was a possibility. Per NOTW, “The agency told Angelina that Pax’s mother was alive but could not be located. Angelina decided to go ahead with the adoption because she was told that Pax’s mother had given up all rights by abandoning him. She had to have been told that even if the mother did show up, she no longer had legal right to him.” (Sidebar: Once again, I ask…if there’s no problem…then why did you right the story and put it on the cover with a 32 point font? Money, money, money…Money!…Some people got to have it…Some people really need it…Listen to me y’all, do things, do things, do bad things with it…)

* The Star goes on to say that Pax’s grandfather says his daughter had a chance to reclaim Pax, but didn’t, so she seemingly knows that she’s give up all her rights to him. “In January, Dung was out our house when the deputy director of the orphanage paid a surprise visit telling us a wealthy American wanted to adopt him. Although our daughter was in the room, she did not reveal that she was the boy’s mother - and neither did we!” The grandparents then went on to sign the adoption papers. (Sidebar: Gee, what lovely, sentimental people. If Pax is very lucky they’ll all be dead before he’s old enough to understand what bunch of vile losers they all are.)

* Furthermore, Dung’s sister, who’s name is unimportant…okay…I forgot to write it down…says that in February, “We were asked to sign more papers agreeing to the adoption and stating that we did not know the whereabouts (of Pax’s birth mother), which we did.” However, she says that Dung regrets giving up Pax. “After the orphanage visited, Dung wanted to go there to look for her son, but she didn’t know what he looked like. I persuaded her not to go.” (Sidebar: Somehow I don’t think the sister had to twist Dung’s arm very hard. And BTW, can I just say…how would you like to go through life with the name “Dung”? The word probably doesn’t have the same meaning in Vietnamese as it has in English, but “Sh#t” is a very appropriate name for this woman. I guess it would be too much to hope that smack can make a woman infertile?)

* According to the Star, if Dung’s change of heart about Pax is motivated by money, then Angie is prepared to kick her ass Lara Croft-style. Star’s PAID SOURCE says, “Hearing about the horror story has actually drawn her closer to the little guy.” The source goes on to say that there is “zero likelihood” that Angie would pay the woman off. “That would be like blood money to Angelina.” (Sidebar: Money, it’s a crime…Share it fairly but don’t take a slice of my pie…Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today…But if you ask for a raise it’s no surprise that they’re
giving none away.)

* Not content with putting Pax’s adoption in peril, the Star now segues on to putting Pax himself in danger due to his birth mother’s heroin addiction. That’s right folks, they DID sink that low. According to Pax’s grandfather, Chien, Dung didn’t realize she was preggers until “quite late on”. (Sidebar: Come on…can you really hear some Vietnamese peasant saying “quite late on”?)

* Because Dung was too stupid to realize she was preggers she had been using heroin in the early stages of her pregnancy. When Pax was born he was underweight at just 4 pounds and Dung’s sister says, “He looked like a wet cat. I didn’t think that he would survive. He was so tiny.” (Sidebar: Gonna take a sen-ti-men-tal jour-ney… Anybody else feel the artic chill given off by this “family”?)

* Despite being underweight at birth…THREE YEARS AGO!…Pax was given a clean bill of health before the adoption. BUT…according to Star’s PAID drug abuse specialist, “Children in loving and stable environments tend to fare well.” (Sidebar: Anybody else kind of disappointed that the Star was going to make dire predictions about Pax’s future mental health? In the old days that would’ve been the natural progression of their story. Dang…no wonder Bonnie got fired…b#tch has gotten soft in her old age.)

* Although the PAID drug abuse expert says that Pax should do well, the Star says he’s having a tough time grasping that he’s “finally found a good home.” (Sidebar: Give the kid a break, would ya?! He’d been in the country less than 10 days when y’all printed this tripe!)

* The Star further says that although it may look as if Angie is going back on her promise to be a stay-at-home-mom for Pax - on March 23 Angie was in Chicago to test drive cars for her new flick and she begins filming the movie in May - BUT…her commitment to Pax’s “well-being” remains strong. According to their PAID SOURCE, “Angelina’s trying hard to put him at ease. She’s looking for a Vietnamese nanny. Pax gets along better with Maddox and Zahara. But he has not grasped that this move to America is permanent. He thinks he’s on a trip or vacation and keeps asking, ‘When am I going home.’” (Sidebar: Angie is hiring a VN nanny? Uh…just because a person is Vietnamese it doesn’t mean they can speak Vietnamese! Besides which…she hired someone when she was in Vietnam. I guess their “source” didn’t know as much as they thought they did! As for Pax thinking he’s on a trip? Tabloid Journalism 101 - take a known quote and make a new one. Star had Pax thinking he’s on trip because that’s what the idiot orphanage director told the kid!)

* Going for the tear-eyed finish, Star says that Pax’s grandfather says that all he and Dung ever wanted was for Pax to have a good home in VN some day. “Dung may not be a good or respectable person, but she is still his mother. We have no right to expect anything, but we still want him to know where he comes from when he grows up.” (Sidebar: Oh, don’t worry, a##hole. Angie and Brad will make sure Pax knows his country, his people and his culture. Hopefully though he’ll never have the misfortune of knowing you or his mother. Sorry, folks, but these people are bottom-feeders and their attitude towards that boy irks the sh#t out of me.)

* Sidebar: Angie’s Brother Talks. Been there done that in this report, not going there again. Y’all know what he said by now…Angie’s not eating, can’t eat because she’s grieving, blah, blah, blah… (Sidebar of my own: Poor, poor Bonnie Fuller. This ridiculous drivel was last Brad/Angie story she oversaw as editor-in-chief. Alas, what an ignominious end. Goodbye and good riddance…eh…who am I kidding…OuttaTouch or Lifeless & Styleless will no doubt hire her lyin’ ass.)

- US LIES WEAKLY: Store - “Angelina’s Double Life - Happy homemaker or controlling workaholic? With a new son at home, Jolie is already back at work as Brad Pitt tends to the kids” by Mara Reinstein. By now I’m sure everyone has had a chance to read Janice Min’s ATTEMPTED hatchet job on Angelina. A word of advice for Janice - never send a little girl to do a woman’s work. You, your reporter and your publication need a fact-checker. I realize that by dint of its very nature being a “gossip” rag doesn’t exactly lend it’s self to accurate representation of the TRUTH, but babe, getting the details right gives your tale more credibility. I don’t know if this is Ms. Reinstein’s first assignment or not, but next time…check her work for errors before she labels her subject a “hypocrite”. Doing so may mitigate your own hypocrisy.

Now, on to Janice Min’s hypocritical chastisement of Angie’s so-called “double life”…

* First off, let’s tackle that subtitle - “With a new son at home, Jolie is already back at work as Brad Pitt tends to the kids.” Lie #1. Angie worked ONE DAY, then went back home. Brad is STILL filming CCOBB and is NOT home with the kids. A partial truth is by any other name is still A LIE.

* One the first page of US’s article is a photo of Angie with the following quote from Fran Drescher, who was trying to get Angie involved in a cancer charity project, she says that Angie, “sets a shining example for everyone to break down barriers.” So…US starts out on a positive note…and then the hypocrisy sets in…

* According to US, on March 23 Angelina was in Chi-town and the locals wondered where Brad & the tots were or if she were there for a “global conference” but she was actually there to work on her new action movie. Sources say she test drove some Dodge Vipers and, “She seemed to be in a good mood and really nice to everyone, but it was strictly business.” BUT…the fact that she was anywhere other than home with her family was a shock. Just days earlier she had been in VN picking up her newest child, where she introduced him to Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh and then promptly changed his name and headed back home to LA. However, “those closest to her” were concerned about her. According to their source, “Brad thought she was moving too fast.” (Sidebar: LIE #2, Shiloh was NOT in Vietnam. However, US LIED in their story the previous week and said she was and rather than admit to having fictionalized a scenario at Angie’s hotel with 2 nannies, Shiloh and Zahara, they maintain that Shiloh was in VN. But saying she was there…don’t make it true, Janice.)

* While in VN Angie announced, “with much fanfare” that she would be a stay-at-home-mom. 4 days later it was announced that Angie had signed on to do Wanted. (Sidebar: LIE #3. Angie’s announcement was not made “with much fanfare”. She said it in response to a question asked by a NEWSPAPER REPORTER IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE NEWSPAPER THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM THE USA! That’s not “fanfare”…that’s a regular interview situation that actors have hundred, if not thousands of times, in their career.)

* US ponders if Angie’s actions were “hypocritical”…Perhaps…BUT…according to them Angie “thrives on manipulating her own image.” (Sidebar: Gee, you mean she wants to do it herself instead of letting jealous jugheads like Janice Min do it for her? Silly girl.)

* US goes on to say that despite not having a publicist - unheard of for a star of her magnitude - Angie has “expertly re-invented herself as a devoted mother and girlfriend - despite her wild past as a self-confessed, drug-using goth who dabbled in bisexuality and had a string of ‘lovers’.” (Sidebar: Now we get to the crux of Janice’s problem - Angie plays the game better than she does…and didn’t spend 4 years in college to get a degree to do it. B#tch is jealous, y’all. The rest of this assessment of Angie is just a low-blow. Show me one person in HW who has willingly owned up to as much of their past as Angie has. She MAY HAVE BEEN all of those things…but as Frankie liked to say…she did it her way…)

* Us says that Angie’s “remarkable transformation” was mainly achieved through her humanitarian work, which helped increase her visibility while at the same time shielding her from criticism over her “controversial” relationship with Brad Pitt. However…”her latest actions are “brow-raising even by her standards”. (Sidebar: Uh…scratching my head here…raise your hand if you don’t recall Angie being “shielded from criticism” over her relationship with Brad. Yeah…I’ve got my hand up, too…we’ll make this LIE #4. WTF does Janice think she’s been doing for the last 2 years if not “criticizing Angie over her relationship with Brad Pitt”?)

US thoughtfully broke this article into sections so we could keep track of Angie’s - and their - hypocrisies…

* SHE’S WORKING AGAIN: Despite having said on March 16 in Ho Chi Minh city that, “I will stay at home to help Pax…the most important thing to me at the moment”. However, 4 days later she took the “Wanted” gig, which is scheduled to start shooting in Prague in April (LIE #5) and then on to Chicago. After that her schedule gets even more hectic in the summer because on June 22 AMH is slated to open and in the fall Angie is set to film “The Changeling”. (Sidebar: US did include an important part of Angie’s statement, “…at the moment”. Apparently this phrase is unfamiliar to Janice, et. al., and requires an explanation. Janice, sweetie, I’m gonna break it down like Kurtis Blow, “‘At the moment’ does NOT mean “forever”. It means…well…at the MOMENT she said it…it WAS the most important thing to her. See, Janice, I can split hairs, too.)

US now trots out their adoption expert, and author who wrote a book on adopting, and this brazilliant person says, “That does seem like a heavy work schedule for someone with a large family. Maybe she’ll take the children to the set with her.” (Sidebar: Stunning insight, huh? I do not have children, but on behalf of my mother and all of you working mothers out there…I do hereby B#tch Slap Janice Min. Woman…what is your problem? Women with large families have worked since the dawn of man. My mother had 7 children and worked 6 damned days a week to feed and clothe them and then some snot-nosed b#tch like you comes along and belittles working mothers? I hope your mama’s dead so she doesn’t have to know she raised an elitist idiot.)

BTW, folks, guess what? Angie’s manager didn’t return US’s calls for comment and Brad’s rep had no comment. Brad’s rep had no comment, but she did flip Janice the bird while telling her she had no comment.

* SHE MAY BE USING HER FAMILY: According to US, the day Angie picked up Pax from the orphanage, where the razzi “swarmed” the, she said, “Photographers make him upset…I’m sorry for bringing this into Pax’s life.” (LIE #6 - IIRC she said this 2 days later, not the day she picked him up.) BUT…just a few days later she staged a photoshoot with herself, Maddox and Zahara (Whuh? No Shiloh?) and sold the photos to Hello and People magazines. In the past she has also staged photo shoots of Shiloh and a family portrait in Namibia and sold them to People mag for an estimated $10MIL. Multiple sources tell US that there is a stipulation that comes with the photos - “100% of the proceeds must go to a Jolie-approved charity”. In December, when she sold photos of a Cambodia photoshoot People had to promise to do a piece on Cambodia. (Sidebar: Poor, poor, pissy little Ms. Min. Still upset about not getting any Brad/Angie exclusives…and then the dumb b#tch writes a piece like this in protest. Hmm…Jan, babe…methinks you’re tilting at windmills here. Didn’t your mother ever tell you that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar? To be perfectly honest, you actually catch more flies with a Raid fly strip, but that’s neither here nor there. My point is…you LIE about Brad and Angie, belittle them, say nasty things about their kids, their parents, their relationship, and their hair…and then you expect them to WILLINGLY let you into their lives? B#tch..puh-leeze.)

According to US, Angie has a long history of using the media to her advantage. (Sidebar: Now why in the hell would she use it to her DISadvantage? Make some sense people!) For instance - the infamous Kenya photos from April 2005. US says that many people believe Angie set up having those pictures taken. And although the photos were “PDA free” possibly they were meant to “blunt the impact of her romance with Pitt.” US proudly reminds us that they were the first to run those photos and that for months the two had been denying a relationship and that Brad’s rep had refused to comment on the photos. (Sidebar: Janice…babe…you know full well Angie didn’t set those photos up and YOU were the ones who started the rumor that she did. Secondly…you just flashed your thong for the world to see. Now we know why you’ve got a bee stuck up your butt about all the People exclusives - because you know that Brad and Angie aren’t going to let you near their photos as retaliation for printing the Diani Beach photos. You know that and WE know that…and you know we know and we know you know we know…and most importantly Brad and Angie know that you know that’s why you’ll never get a sanctioned exclusive from them. If you’d known then what you know now…you’d still have printed them and you’d still be on the losing end of the no-hit shut-out Brad and Angie are pitching! Hehehehehe…)

Now US goes after Brad for a micro-second….Not long after the Diani Beach photos appeared in US, Brad stated in his Diane Sawyer interview that he didn’t understand why people were more interested in their relationship than in “harder news”, like 3rd world poverty. BUT…US says…he didn’t mention the 58-page photoshoot that he and Angie did for W mag with them “posing as a 1950s couple” (LIE #6 - I’m counting this because the stupid reporter obviously never read Brad’s interview where he said the photos are set in 1963, the year he was born!). Brad not only conceived the concept, but he co-owns the syndication rights “which could eventually earn millions”. (Sidebar: Janice, Janice, Janice…splitting hairs again. By the time we get to the end of this article not even Pantene is going to be able to repair all your split ends. Brad did not mention the W shoot because they DID NOT do the photoshoot as a pictorial essay on their relationship. It was A MOVIE PROMOTIONAL TIE-IN!!!)

Back to picking on Angie - US says that in 2002, after shedding BBT, Angie coordinated her own razzi photoshoot with Maddox. The photographer says, “She even asked me for prints afterward!” (Sidebar: Now we’ve moved from splitting hairs to half-truths. Angie asked the razzo to take the photos of Maddox because she was being dogged by the cretins for photos anyway, so why not just do it and get it over with? It’s no worse than Sarah Jessica Parker posing with her baby on the front steps of the hospital the day she took her baby home. The razzi get their photos, they become worthless because there are so many of the same photo…and the razzi go away. The only difference is that ONE GUY made a nice tidy sum off the photos of Maddox. He wasn’t complaining then and if he’s complaining now it’s only because he can’t get any big-money photos of Angie’s CHILDREN. Now how said is that? Grown men and women stalking children. Now who’s using Angie’s “family”? Talk about hypocrisy.)

US goes onto say that more recently, while in India in Oct, her personal bodyguard, Mickey Brett (Hey Gitane…your man is famous!), was accused of making racial threats and was later caught grabbing the neck of a British photographer and threatening. Brad then bailed him out of jail and defended him, “We would not work with those kinds of people.” US says, “The day after the incident in India, Jolie & Pitt were conveniently snapped on a serene boat rid with their kids.” (Sidebar: LIE #7 - if you can’t get the sequence of events right, then how can you trust the details? Mickey grabbed the reporter’s neck FIRST…then WEEKS LATER the racial slurs incident happened. Janice…Lexis/Nexis has a fantastic database where you can search through old news articles. And I do mean NEWS sources - legitimate newspapers and magazines, not your usual British tabloid sources of the Sun, News of the World, and Daily Mail. I mean Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post…hell, even the USA Today if you get desperate enough. Do some research and get the sequence of events correct BEFORE you try to tackle the details. As for the boat ride…so what? Were they supposed to stay indoors and hide for the remainder of their trip? What’s convenient is that you didn’t object to that little outing when you printed the photos of it, but now that you’re on the warpath it’s suddenly a problem. Turns our hypocrisy is a two-way street with lots of people running yellow lights. Sooner or later theirs going to be a big-ass accident.)

Moving into “piling it on” territory - US is STILL irked about Namibia. While in Namibia Mickey also threatened photographers and “hired a thug to stalk and intimidate an US reporter.” (Sidebar: ROTFLMAO. Damn, Janice, you still b#tching about that? I notice that you didn’t mention that your reporter was in the country illegally. I wonder why not? I guess that little nugget escaped your mind at press time, huh?)

* SHE CAN’T STAY STILL: This is best summed up by saying that US is still ticked off about the NOLA when Angie supposedly told them they were relocating to NOLA. The idiots at US assumed it was forever and ever, amen.

In January, after traveling for much of the previous 2 years, Angie told US that they were buying a house in NOLA, where Brad was filming CCOBB, and would raise their family there and NO recovered from Hurricane Katrina. BUT…not 2 months later they “left their $3.5MIL house” and returned to LA, where Brad is still filming CCOBB. The cads. And since they returned to LA, on Mar 21 Angie has since gone off to Vietnam to adopt another child. According to US all the comings and goings is tough on 4 kids. They trot out their SHRINXPERT who says, “Children thrive on predictability, continuity, security and rhythm in daily life. I would imagine that might not be the number 1 feature in a household with two movie stars.” (Sidebar: Duh! It’s not like Angie is moving these kids around so she can dodge bill collectors or pick up welfare in 2 different states! They moved because Brad is working!)

Another SHRINXPERT says, “Children have difficulties when there’s moving around too much, but we want to see children have as much time as possible with their parents. It’s quality over quantity.” (sidebar: Uh…did that last part not make sense or is it me? Basically, what this guy is saying is…it’s not ideal to move the kids around so much, but as long as their with their parents…no harm, no foul. In other words, Janice…STFU already.)

* SHE MAY BE CONFUSING PAX: According to US Angie says she’s making an effort to make Pax feel comfortable - she “let” him bring some toys from the orphanage with him when they left and she’s ordering his favorite foods. BUT…she quickly changed his name after the adoption and US’s SHRINXPERT says…that ain’t good, “There are people that feel it’s cruel to change a pet’s name when you get a pet. Generally speaking, a name is sometimes the only thing that the child has that’s only theirs.” (Sidebar: Not this sh#t again. Janice…you don’t know what name they’re using within the privacy of their own home and you never will. People change kids’ names all the time when they adopt, but I didn’t see you chastising down Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan, Mia Farrow, Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, etc., for re-naming the children THEY adopted. Why is Angelina subjected to one set of rules and everyone else gets to slide by? When you call the rest of these people on the same behavior, THEN you can get on Angie’s case about it. Once again…hypocrisy rules at US LIES WEAKLY.)

* SHE’S SWAPPING ONE FIX WITH ANOTHER: Yes, that’s right folks, US is equating adopting orphans with dabbling in heroin. According to US, since adopting Mad in 2000 Angie has frequently claimed to have “kicked her youthful pastimes, which included collecting knives and taking opiates.” BUT…US’s SHRINXPERT says, “Addictive tendencies don’t just go away.” and adopting 3 kids in 5 years could be a sign of “a form of domestic addiction”. (Sidebar: “Domestic addiction”…are you fcuking kidding me? Angie has adopted 3 kids in 5 years. MY MOTHER HAD 4 KIDS IN 5 YEARS! Are you saying my mother was suffering from “domestic addiction”? And what about all the other women - and men - who do the same? Does everyone who has multiple children in a short time span suffer from an overly developed sense of nesting or are they just horny fcukers who can’t remember the birth control? Come on Janice…”enquiring minds want to know”!)

Another source says “Angie is obsessed with poverty and all the world’s problems. She’s constantly encouraging friends to adopt and offers help when needed.” (Sidebar: Gasp! The fiend! She wants to make the world a better place! How dare she!) Yet…US’s SHRINXPERT says, “There are very simple acts of kindness that (former users) will do that supports their recovery. With the stimulation of saving the world, they fuel their disease.” (Sidebar: Uh-oh…if Angie’s sick, ya’ll know what this means, don’t you? Somebody better call Bono, Bill & Melinda Gates, Bob Geldof, Warren Buffet, etc., and let those sick mofos know US said they need help for their addiction to helping the less fortunate. By God…don’t they know they’re supposed to be selfish b@stards who spend all their time worrying about what US LIES WEAKLY is going to say about them? Maybe there’s a support group for humanitarians and if not, they can start their own and start a new trend!)

As sick as Angelina is, according to US, on March 25, her brother James told the London Daily Mail that protecting kids is simply Angelina’s nature. “One of the reasons Angelina cares so much for other people is our father’s treatment of our mother. Now Angelina and I are protective of women and, of course, children.” (Sidebar: This is what’s known as throwing someone a bone. It’s US’s way of saying, “Gee, Ange, we know you’re sincere in your humanitarian work and everyone will jump up our asses if we’re nasty about it…but…we still don’t like you and Brad…so there! (Now picture Janice sticking out her tongue and blowing raspberries.))

* SHE’S THE BOSS: According to US’s sources Brad and Angie are at odds about expanding their family so quickly after Shiloh’s birth. US’s source says, “They had a huge fight just before she left for Vietnam. He wanted her to slow it down, spend more time with Shiloh and have more biological children.” But, in public statements Angelina has expressed the exact opposite. She told the British Elle mag, “I feel much more for Madd and Zee because they’re survivors, they came through so much. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to feel for her….A newborn really is this…Yes, a blob!” (Sidebar: Lie #8 is a lie of omission. Angie was publicly vocal about expanding quickly…but so was Brad…multiple times. Most notably when he told a group of foreign press members at the Babel press junket that he wanted to add 3 kids a year - next year they’d have six, then 9, he wants a soccer team. He also told Ryan Gaycrest they were thinking soccer team. Was he joking or was he serious? It doesn’t matter. If Janice is going to split hairs and tell half-truths then so I am I. He said it publicly and that’s all that counts. Furthermore…what does Angie’s Elle quote have to do with the point their supposedly trying to make? Plus, they need to get a Funk & Wagnall’s and check out the various meanings of “feel”. Angie meant “feel” as in “sympathize/empathize” not “feel” in an emotional sense.)

US goes on to say that since Angie returned home on March 21 they are once again “a solid unit” and that “Brad sees her point now. He loves Pax and realized it isn’t fair to their new son to keep the argument going.” Another source says, “Angelina & Brad are over the moon about him, and everyone is getting along really well.” Yet another source says that on March 24 on the CCOBB set, where Shiloh (who DID NOT go to Vietnam!) has been a regular visitor, Brad was laughing and joking with the crew and brought them lunch from In-and-Out burgers. The source says, “He’s nice and polite.” (Sidebar: Let’s see…they’ve gone from “hard-hitting expose” to “touchy-feely lovefest”. Wait a sec…I smell something…What’s is that smell? Anybody else smell that? Is it napalm in the morning or just the stench of Janice’s hypocritical ass?)

Hmm…what, you might ask, is up next for the J-Ps? Well, doggonit, don’t you know they plan on adding to that family that US says they’re expanding too quickly? Yep, that’s right. According to a source “close to the couple”, “They will be adopting two more and they also want to have another biological child.” Well, heck, Brad even told Gaycrest, “We’re thinking soccer team…start our own country, enter the World Cup and dominate it!” (Sidebar: Sheesh…Janice, Janice, Janice…you’ve contradicted yourself in the same article, babe, hell…probably on the same page of the article. Right here you’ve admitted that Brad has said publicly that they want a lot of kids fairly quickly. Now you’re going to have to print a retraction in the next issue…but…I won’t hold my breath waitin’ on it.)

BUT, US says, in the end, “It’s no question who will be the captain.” (Sidebar: The captain is gonna be Brad because Angie says she doesn’t like soccer! I can be as deliberately obtuse as you, Janice.)

* US POLL - asked 5836 readers - Are the couple expanding their brood to fast? Yes=65%, No=35% (Sidebar: Did you hear that Brad & Ange? The readers of US demand that you stop adopting those poor, needy, ETHNIC 3rd World orphans…and have another white bio baby instead.)

* US POLL - asked 4,796 readers (I guess they other 1,040 were screening calls…they probably looked at the caller ID and said, “Oh…fcuk me…it’s that damned Janice Min again!”) - Was it in poor taste to sell pictures of Pax so soon after his adoption? Yes=61%, No=39% (Sidebar: Early on in this article there is a picture of Angie holding Pax as they boarded the plane to leave VN. At the bottom of a picture is a small picture of the HELLO mag. The purpose of this is twofold - First, seemingly they’re just showing the magazine that they’re accusing Angie of pimping Pax to. In reality what they’re doing is saying to Angie, “You may not sell us the photos directly…but we’re still going to find a way to print them.” Secondly, it’s their way of telling People, we will deride you and ridicule you for being the J-Ps butt-monkey, but we’ll never advertise your mag in ours. In other words…Janice is holding a grudge against People because they get the photos without having to bid for them and even if US bid a gazillion dollars…they know Brad and Angie have stipulated which magazines the photos WON’T be sold to for any price. That’s why the photos for BAMZS in NO from last September were never printed in the States. People passed on them…and Brad & Angie wouldn’t agree to let any of the other rags buy them. What Janice calls hypocrisy…I call POWER.)

* Sidebar: Angelina’s Wild Past. Janice Min wasted a full page on a photo of Angie kissing her bro on the lips at the 2000 GGs. Off to one side she has a list of Angie’s Hall Of Shame Past -

- Death Obsession - So she wanted to be a mortician? Big fcuking woo.

- Cutting - mixed cutting with sex during her first sexual relationship. (Sidebar: Oh for fcuks sake! The girl was 14 you idiots! 14. As Angie said, and I paraphrase), “You’re young, your drunk, you’re playing with knives…sh#t happens.”

- Bisexuality - Yes, we all know about Jenny Sh#tzu. Now go find us another woman that Angie admits to having sex with. She was 21…people experiment with their sexuality all the time. Except Janice…she’s a hermaphrodite…but she’s such a b#tch she tells herself she has a headache.

- Kissing her brother at 2000GG - Oooooh…now there’s the crime of the last century! So she kissed her bro on the lips. BFD. It was closed mouth and no tongue action. They grew up doing that and people in other countries do the same and it’s not big deal. But in the sick, twisted minds of America it must mean they’re having an incestuous relationship. Frankly…if they were? Who the hell could blame him? Look at the woman, for God’s sake! If she could turn a straight woman lezbo…why wouldn’t her own brother get some nutty ideas? I’m just saying…

* Sidebar: How Mad Feels About His Brother - According to US, adopting Maddox in 2002 Angie has been candid about her desire to adopt siblings for him, but she also noticed that he was, “envious when she paid attention to others”. Now that he’s gotten 3 sibs in the last 2 years their source says, “Maddox is getting over his initial jealousy little by little and he and Pax seem to be coming good friends. Now Maddox has a playmate and they are already learning to love playing together.” (Sidebar: Sooooo….basically they had a 1/4 page to fill…and this is what they came up with. Lame, Janice…lame.)

* Sidebar: Pax’s Biological Mom - You know the drill by now…same lies everyone else had, courtesy of the News Of The World - mother was a heroin addict, he was underweight when he was born, mother may want him back, yada yada yada. (Sidebar: Another 1/4 page to fill…She really could’ve done this story in 2 pages if she’d chucked all the **** the rest of the rags also covered. The worse part is that they knew that since it was NOTW there was a 99.99% chance that it was a fake story!)

* This item isn’t a sidebar, but I want to put it in while I’m thinking about it - towards the back of this issue there’s a story on all the babies turning 1 in the next few months - Suri, Grier Henchy, Kingston, Shiloh, and a few others. In the notes under Kingston, US uses Gwen Stefani’s quote from the British Elle mag where she talked about Kingston and Shiloh having a play date and being “like two little blobs”. Janice Min DID NOT take Gwen to task for referring to her baby as a “blob”. Not this time…and not the FIRST time they reported the quote. Yet, earlier in this same issue she’s jumped on Angie for having used the same word. Hypocrite much?

* Sidebar: Will Brad & Angelina’s Relationship Last? - Us says that when Brad fell in love with Angie “she was a sexy, single mom of one and he was craving a family.” But…3 years later maybe Angie has become too focused on “expanding their brood”. Their SHRINXPERT says, “They’re still a couple in addition to being parents. If she’s unwilling to work at that, if she continually gets on a plane and goes somewhere and lives this flitty life that she had prior to her relationship with Brad, I think that could be the undoing of their relationship.” (Sidebar: “Flitty life” that she had before Brad? WTF? This dipsh#t called her humanitarian work “flitty”? Angie wasn’t spending her time shopping on Rodeo drive on Monday, then bopping to Paris on Tuesday to check out the couture shops. Then buzzing over to NYC to take in a show and then back to LA for dinner at Il Sole and her weekly mani-pedi on Saturday afternoon! She was WO

Has anyone seen this interview with Angelina before? And to think how he acted at the GG’s.

Good evening all. :) Welcome back curly. :)
Pax has really come alive today, not being as shy and timid. He didn’t have grass at his old house so he has been running back and forth on it and rubbing himself all over it. :) I took him to farmer’s market to show off and we got kicked out, the one place you can’t take a dog in CA, whatever.
I hope everyone is having a good night.:) :) :)

susie- hello, hope you are having a good night as well

Hey DC, Susie, and Guli.

Happy Easter and I hope it will be a safe one.

btw Susie loved the pics of Pax.

Hi Sheri and Guli,

Sarajevo was interesting, suffice to say there are still mortar and bullet holes on the walls. The war is over trust is a major issue; as one of the youngsters I talked to, put it “of course they are my friends but i never visit their neighborhood, you never know who is who.”

I will stay in Istanbul for two weeks, then come back here to change the luggage for another trip to Bosnia. There is a small chance that I may include Crotia to the itinerary, but nothing is certain.

Wine lovers!? Try wine from Crotia, crisp chardonnay, it is “seriously” good.

malibumom and Lady G, ITAWU. I met so many nice people here, Jared earns his livelihood to the last penny.

now have mercy on me, I need to finish my work, have fun tonight!

I've read it all @ 04/06/2007 at 8:26 pm

Have Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tied the knot? If so it may well have been a Buddhist ceremony.

So what does it involve?

Well Buddhism is classed as being a faith and not a religion and therefore the concept of marriage is not considered relevant to the Buddhist faith.

As far as marriage is concerned, there are no directions given for a Buddhist. With marriage being a secular affair, its success depends on both partners creating a harmonious and progressive unit together. As long as your commitment to family life as a Buddhist is serious you are considered married, even without a formal registration.

guli- and yes you are bad (I’m porbably worst :lol:), but I like it so keep it up

DC- I agree, I love candy but I was really sneaking alot of it. :lol:

I so want to do a jj-bampzs “convention”. It would be so fun to meet everyone since I already have told my life story to most of you. :lol: Seriously, Las Vegas in the fall would be great!!!!! :lol:

susie my moms dog kept trying to be the Alpha dog and totally ran her ragged. My oldest sister had to teach mom to be the one in charge!

I’ve heard the same about Croatia, for some reason I think they did something on it on one of the Entertainment shows. Are the 4 of you doing eggs tomarrow night?

malibumom @ 04/06/2007 at 8:34 pm

#230 Sandisk-It all depends on where and for how much! It is certainly a buyer’s market-but if your buy is not to hold then you may want to re-think it-esp if it’s not in a hot spot-Location location location is still true-Remember I write the paper-I don’t leave the keyboxes-I think JH would have made a better choice if he would have gone to a place that he likes to visit let’s say for ex Nashville, TN. Instead of buying on in Cali for 3Mil he could have built a subdivision of upscale homes in the suburbs, like Brentwood and rented them out to Corporate Execs, Country Music stars and regulars who can afford it-Since they would all be f/c the money would flow like milk and honey!

susie you and I will walk in everyone will be “oh that has to be them!” I think we’d have a blast! Anybody else up for Vegas!?

I like Oprah. I don’t like Oprah. It all depends on what she is doing or saying. But I guess basically she does more good than bad, except with her swooning all over x. But she is paying for that fool hearty mistake. But today she simply made a comment about the tabs reporting on AJ/BP’s baby. And then asked do you know them? It was harmless. Not negative, or positive. I just was. Peace.

hi sheri susie and all great bampzs fans

Sheri- I am much bigger than Pax so I’m not having alpha problems yet. Also my parent’s dog terrifies him! :lol: He is really alive right now, ripping things apart and being silly, jeesh he was so shy the first day and 1/2. Bad thing, got some bad gas from him a minute ago. Ewwww :lol:

Oh yeah-Although the subprime market has slid into the depths of hell-there is still money to be made-for ex in the scenario above, the investor is still making him money because money on f/c properties flows no matter if it’s a buyers or sellers market-

I love this pic. It makes me laugh everytime I see it.

Read the public record. Interesting how many properties Brad Pitt has. It looks like he must be sitting on some serious profit if he sells any of his Los Feliz or Santa Barbara properties.

I wonder if the Jolie Pitts aren’t in Santa Barbara at the moment. It seems the property sits on 11.5 ha of land, that’s a lot of privacy for the family - without even having to go down to the beach.

Are there laws in America whereby you CANNOT use powerful telephoto lens to take pictures of someone on their own property or on private property??

MMom, are you in real estate??

malibumom @ 04/06/2007 at 8:55 pm

Gotta go now but PT I need some advice. I was walking around the attic I couldn’t help but focus on all of those vinyl 33’s and LP’s from Rufus Thomas, Confunkshun, AlGreen, Blood Sweat & Tears and even Aretha’s Spanish Harlem! Then over in the corner were crates of, yep you got it, the Jackson Family! Including Albums by LaToya and Rebbie (I gave all of Janet’s stuff away to some internet fan)-I remember I started collecting this stuff when I was like 10 years old. I probably have more pics of Michael than Michael does-Anyway You think I can get enough to buy a subway sandwhich or what? Oh yeah I went to block buster and I saw tons of copies of The Break up in the buy 5 get one free bin-

Mmom, what’s f/c??

malibumom @ 04/06/2007 at 8:59 pm

Yep-I eat -drink-teach-read-and sleep it-I’m on the lending and investing side-I spent 4 years getting Biol and Chem degrees and 12 yrs in research and I never had the passion for that like I do lending, but I will walk away from the real estate world as soon as one of my scripts sell (and believe me one of them will) because the thing that is most gratifying to me is to take care of what’s mine. That’s house perfectly in order and dinner on the table promptly everyday-Now that is my real passion

Lady G— I know that pic is another great one, thanks. It cracks me up, the guy is shaking Brad’s hand but staring at Angie. The look on Brad’s face is priceless, it’s like “back off , she’s mine” or WTF :lol:

Oh yeah-Although the subprime market has slid into the depths of hell-there is still money to be made-for ex in the scenario above, the investor is still making him money because money on f/c properties flows no matter if it’s a buyers or sellers market-

_____________________

what is f/c?

subprime market is for those with credit problems. am i right?

In LA, for those houses selling at 700K to 800K, is it time to get in? i mean purchase to live? or should we wait for it to fall more?

what about rental?

Larry King is doing a segment on the ruthless paps. They are saying x17 hires former gang members b/c they can be the most ruthless.

thanks guli i enjoyed watching it.

Hey Tabitha - thanks for that quote from Elizabeth Mitchell, we will add her to ‘the list!’ :) I especially like the part when she says that Angelina “inspires trust.” Brad of course, has found that out. :)

Andrómeda @ 04/06/2007 at 9:20 pm

Good night!!!
Guli:You are going to be missed here. Thanks for the video.
Susie: Pax is so cute. Love the pics. I want to have a dog!!. Are your boys playing with him all the time?

ok, on Larry King right now west and east coast with Jimmy Kimmell guest anchoring, they just showed bampzs and the how the paps are so obtrusive. One PR guest said AJ used to tip off the paps when she was divorcing BBT so she could show a certain side of herself. Don’t know about that. Then Mark Geragos of Scott Peterson fame said that even if she used to , used to being the key words here, they are now being dangerous and obtrusive and leaving no privacy.

susie that must be true because some of the paps are heartless,all they want is the shoot even if someone can get hurt or killed

Why is f/c properties flows no matter if it’s a buyers or sellers market?

why is free and clear a factor in either a buyer/seller market?

maybe I should trespass and then I can sue brad’s production company also, like this a**hole.

Andromeda— heck I’ll miss all of you guys too, just keep on enjoying the wonderful BAMPZS family and keep the haters at JJ’s JP threads squashed :lol:

Hiya Ida–it is a cute video isn’t it?

lurking on a friday @ 04/06/2007 at 9:29 pm

As soon as I saw the Radar online guy I knew not to believe a word he says. These guys have no scruples. They said that their is no end to what they’d do to get a picture. That a moral line does not exist. Soul-less is what they are.

Susie thanks for the heads up! She has said that she found purpose when Maddox came into her life. IF she did alert the paps I think it was to say see I’ve grown! The sound bites of her marriage to BBT are a thing of the past. I’m a mom. She has always been very public with her life. Isn’t that also when JV decided to say those awful things about her? So it is possible.

The paps now have NO respect! They do whatever it takes to get “the” shot! Thats why I love Z so much! She just gives them the princess glare!

Andromeda how are you? Long time no chat!

they just showed another AJ clip and you could see my husband Mickey :lol: :lol:

i am watching the larry king live too.what that man said sounds like a lie.they just want to mention the jolie pitts.one of those useless paps said somethin about having a problem with plan B.

Malibumom-

from what i understand, the problem in the subprime market actually makes the housing market worse.

i mean it doesnt help the housing market.

Sorry BAMPZS dont have cable, no self control! Didn’t realize it was Radar.com, lies.

ICAM lurker opinion.

How many times have we caught them in a lie on the cesspool of a blog.

sorry if you already read it

Sky News has reported that a hotel chain did a survey and found that 20 percent of men cuddled with a teddy bear at night when travelling alone, compared to only 15 percent of women who did the same. Also, when asked which person they would prefer to cuddle with, the majority of women said Johnny Depp while the majority of men chose Angelina Jolie. Awww.

from pittwatch

Since the entertainment industry depends on the pictures for their existence, they will be hypocritical to be condemning the paps. I am happy the Jolie-Pitts have found a way around keeping their privacy.

guli when are you already in istanbul?

Jimmy Kimmel just reamed the woman from Gawker. She came off looking like a dumbass. lol

LOVELY— what a wonderful picture. Many thanks!!! This is a keeper ;-)

Malibumom, well my husband is a realtor and a broker so we have something else in common in addition to being BAMPZS fans :-)

malibumom- they call where BP’s santa barbara house is in Goleta’s city range?? I thought it was in SB county space and out of Goleta’s city limits? Seems like it at least.

Mmom, thanks for the information. Looks like Sandisk and I are looking at the US real estate market with some interest. So far, the fall out from the subprime market has been limited. The Dow and the Nasdaq are still humming.

One question I have is - do Americans really save as little as the statistics show? Many reports states this as a fact. But everynow and again, I read a report which states that American’s aren’t as spendthrift as you would imagine because of the way the savings is defined. However, I haven’t read an official report yet which explains how “savings” is truly defined. One of the reasons why I ask is that if investments in property and stocks are NOT considered savings, then the statistics about American savings rates are seriously skewed as I certainly regard those as part of my family’s nest egg.

lurker opinion @ 04/06/2007 at 9:48 pm

OT
Kimmell did not like that silly woman from Gawker. I actually glad he did this show rather than Larry King. Larry would have been too nice but Kimmell showed real contempt toward to paps and that website owner.

Hi andromeda, susie, ida, truth, Lady G!
Who else is here?
Are we having a party?

No sightings, and the rumors are getting crazy. A Dutch blog is reporting an alleged sighting of Brad reading a paper at a big architects firm in Rotterdam. Not true, but I would love to see him reading a paper about interior design. Truth be told, I’d love to see him reading the newspaper or the ingredients on the cereal box.

this one is for Cliniqua, he has his protective hold again, love it.

**********************************

What’s not true. What do you think premieres, parties, charity events, award shows and other red carpet events are for? For photo opportunities and all actors & entertainers participate in that. What is the problem is when these people are just going about their business and having a mad man running after them to take a picture. WTF? That’s what everyone is yelling about. I just got on and realized that Jimmy Kimmel was on CNN hosting. He’s not bad. I usually don’t like him. LOL!!!!

All celebs find a way to disappear. Where is George Clooney now? where is Oprah Winfrey now? Where is Mel Gibson now? Where is Eddie Murphy now? Unless you are doing something specific that requires you to be in the public eye, you have no reason to be photographed. What for?

[Fug Face [x]] @ 04/06/2007 at 9:50 pm

Fug thinks this guy should get his own CNN show.

Sheri, I see congratulations are in order but I’m not sure why. Sorry, must have missed a post or two or many:) Are you getting married or having a baby or a new job??

Truth the paps cross the line. Nobody has the right to stalk and hunt people!

Good night ida!
Hey Sheri - I didn’t see you, so how’s our blushing bride-to-be?

Investment in property and stocks are considered savings.

When people said American arent savings as much, I believe it’s all relative. May be compare to other nations, like Japan or China, Americans may not be saving as much.

May be part of the reasons is that many Americans are relying on the pensions for their retirement. Now, the idea of pensions are a thing of the past. I’m sure the future young Americans will be saving more.

Good Night, Ida!

Lylian-

Which area are you looking at?

Hi stranger, how are you? :lol:

Sheri- good night, see you tomarrow. :lol:

Cliniqua- yep, I have a thing for a take charge man too :) I looove how he is in charge and protective. Very Sexy..

Back for a sec-Sandisk-This is the issue with Free and Clear-If you owe nothing you make money no matter what. But if the property is mortgaged, it’s better for the investor if it’s a Seller’s market because that means that it’s hard to for buyer’s to find a home-whereas, if it’s a buyer’s market, then there are thousands of choices out there and you may as well keep it. In my professional opinion, the problem with the subprime market falls on the shoulders of many. There is a distinct difference between those who made money flipping in the market and those who took out loans that they could not afford. Although we can’t generalize-there are Loan officers who gave ppl subprime loans when they could have sent them to Fannie and there are subprime companies that created programs that were too risky. But no matter what, no one forced anyone to buy something they couldn’t afford. I resent the media reporting the high foreclosure rates and equating that with ppl not knowing any better. Believe me, those ppl were glad to sign the bottom line. The issue is if you have a lifetime history of being irresponsible and your credit score just happens to be a 580 (which used to qualify you for 100%) it doesn’t matter what type of loan you received, the odds are, you were not going to be responsible for the next 30 years and pay that mortgage. It’s the same in the World of welfare-you can throw all the money and programs you want to at ppl, but until you require them to learn and limit the amount of help you give them, you will still get the level of irresponsibility and ignorance that we have.
With regard to savings, I think when you look at stats you have to identify the definition of americans. We have americans who have been in the work force for 10 or more years, americans who have never worked, americans who work and do not make enough to save traditionally and americans who only save traditionally-I think most ppl do not save in regular savings accounts. It wouldn’t make sense to because the return is too low. So I really dont think there is a way to judge. I honestly don’t know 5 ppl who do not have some sort of savings whether in realestate or Roths or Mutual Funds or 401ks. It think it’s necessary to distinguish between long term and short term savings-

Oh yeah-the city for that house is Goleta. It’s like the one on Briarcliff, and the two across the street, the exact addresses are in Los, Feliz but ppl refer to it as Los Angeles. . .

I love to pick your brain since you’re an expert in this area. My understanding of f/c is that, in a falling market, holding the property f/c is least risky because you’re not forced to sell. You can afford to hold on. But in a rising market, holding the property f/c means NOT applying the concept of leveraging. I’ve always believe leveraging is what makes real esatate so attractive.
