Pitt Still in Love with Aniston
By WENN | Thursday, May 12, 2005
HOLLYWOOD - Brad Pitt is still in love with estranged wife Jennifer Aniston because he
respects the way she’s dealing with their divorce.
The movie star opened his breaking heart to men’s magazine GQ just days after
Aniston filed for divorce in March.
In the interview, Pitt says of the break-up, “It’s so complex and
multifaceted. We’ve done it our way and I love her for that. We’ve kept the love we havefor each other.”
The movie hunk refused to confirm or deny a romance with Mr. & Mrs. Smith
co-star Angelina Jolie, but he was optimistic about his divorce and
philosophical about the break-up of his marriage.
He adds, “The thing that I don’t understand is looking at this as a failure.
It’s talked about like it failed, I guess because it wasn’t flawless.
“I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful, actually. The idea
that marriage has to be for all time, that I don’t understand.”
The actor also admits he wanted to “punch” out the “lights” of journalists
who wrote “cruel” things about the split couple just to “get a rise out of her
(Aniston)”.

Thanks for all the threads Just Jared. I have a lot of catching up to do. It is nice to see the gang of Ocean 13 at cannes. Don Cheadle is one of my all time favorite actor. His daughters are beautiful. BP and GC look good. Thanks for all links, pictures and videos. It is a good and moving time for BP and AJ with the sucess of “A Mighty Heart” at Cannes. Mrs. Pearl and her son will have a touching memorial about Daniel Pearl in the film. Best wishes to BAMPZS. George Clooney is the original playa. Play on George.

Angie’s devotion to Cambodian Helth Center

In June of 2006, this six-year old child was near death due to TB and AIDS.It has been more than 12 years since the Cambodian Health Committee (CHC) began its work in the tuberculosis (TB) wards of three district hospitals in what was in 1994 a poorly accessible and impoverished area of Cambodia bordering Vietnam, Svay Rieng Province. Since that time, more than 10,000 people with TB in Svay Rieng and in another poor and war-impacted province, Kompot have been cured due to the CHC’s efforts and thousands of villagers have been educated about TB and AIDS and participated in microcredit programs to increase their income. Policies of the Cambodian National TB program have been modeled on CHC approaches. Building upon the success of the TB program, CHC now cares for over 2,000 people in provincial AIDS treatment programs in Svay Rieng and Kompot in collaboration with the Cambodian National AIDS Program.

After four months of therapy, he continued to gain strength, is learning to read like other six-year olds, and is attending the MCCC on a daily basis.CHC works to decrease the human suffering caused by TB, AIDS, and poverty with the conviction that all people can be cured of TB, be treated for AIDS, and can lead healthy lives. Through direct care, the development of novel approaches to TB and AIDS care in rural and urban settings that target the poorest in the society, and through advocacy to ensure that all people who need drugs for TB and AIDS have access, the CHC is fighting these two infectious diseases that are are among the most deadly in the world. Over 8 million people develop TB every year and 2 million people die, many also stricken with AIDS, which has destroyed their immune systems and made them more susceptible to TB. It is in fact estimated by the World Health Organization that TB is the largest cause of death in the setting of AIDS and has been the cause of up to half of all the estimated 30 million deaths caused by AIDS to date.

Marie-Pierre Fernandez, director of the MCCC, Angelina Jolie, and co-founder of the CHC Anne Goldfeld with a child who currently attends the Maddox Chivan Children’s Center during a visit by Jolie and Brad Pitt in November of 2006.The impact of CHC can be seen in the pictures on this page. At just six years of age, the boy in the top picture had already lost his mother due to AIDS. He was brought to the Maddox Chivan Children’s Center (MCCC), which CHC opened in February 2006. CHC staff found that he had a temperature of 104° F, TB, and end-stage AIDS. After treatment with TB and AIDS medicines, he became a regular attendee at the MCCC and has reclaimed his childhood. He joins 200 other children who have family members who are suffering from AIDS or who are themselves infected with the virus that causes AIDS.

We thank you for taking the time to learn more about the problems of TB and AIDS in Cambodia and hope that you will be interested in joining our efforts to provide access to treatment of these terrible but treatable diseases and to provide those afflicted with opportunities to build new lives.

In the presence of Brad & Angie
by Lainey on Tue 22 May 2007 08:28 AM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos
As a reporter, being on the road, interviewing celebrities often every day, rarely do you encounter the true stars-the ones who walk around with a spotlight and actually live up to that expectation. Inevitably they are for the most part just people like us, only with extraordinary jobs.
Brad Pitt however is a rare beast. Brad Pitt is a mega mega star. And in person, he does not come up short. However, Brad Pitt in combination with Angelina Jolie???
Well now that’s just a regular, garden variety supernova.
I was huddled with what seemed like the entire press corps yesterday during the press conference for A Mighty Heart. And even a jaded press corps, not a crowd of hysterical fans, even a jaded press corps will get jacked up for Brad and Angelina.
I have to tell you — they walked out and the earth moved. What I mean is that the moment they were in view, the moment these two ridiculously beautiful creatures blessed us with their presence, every journalist surged. Some actually squealed. I think I let out a little peep too. But don’t tell.
Still, let’s not forget why they were there. The movie is called A Mighty Heart. Angelina plays Mariane Pearl, widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl who was killed in Pakistan in 2002 when Mariane was 6 months pregnant.
This is a woman who has survived and who continues to survive unspeakable tragedy. And instead of railing at the world and begrudging humanity for its cruelty, she has instead chosen to live with dignity and share her experience in the hopes that no one will have to suffer how she suffered.
The film has been very well received and as such has elevated Brad Pitt and Angelina to even higher iconic status.
And finally, because I am first and foremost and always a gossip lover, they are still totally in love. Totally touchy feely, totally hot for each other. And I totally can’t get enough.
Yours in gossip,
Lainey

Angelina Jolie, Pitt Help Namibian Ranch Become Wildlife Reserve

A UN Goodwill Ambassador’s work is apparently never done, as word that Angelina Jolie and honey Brad Pitt visited a special Namibian ranch in an effort to bolster their efforts to become a full-fledged wildlife reserve.

The Insider reports that shortly before their daughter Shilow Nouvel was born, the duo visited the Harnas Ranch taking their adopted children Zahara and Maddox along.

The Harnas Ranch was once a cattle farm, but is now a ranch dedicated to saving endangered wild animals in Namibia, Africa. Now the Harnas Wildlife Foundation, they hope to turn the ranch into a nature reserve where orphaned animals can be released.

Jolie reportedly learned of Harnas back in 2003, and The Insider has a black and white photo in which she posed with an orphaned cheetah during her first visit to the ranch.

So far, the actress has donated $250,000 to their organization.

Tom Ford Cannes Do
Brad Pitt dons designer’s new line for festival

Tuesday, May 22, 2007

(CANNES) Brad Pitt, famous as he is, seems consistently overshadowed by his loves, be they Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie—both of whom garner the lion’s share of paparazzi attention wherever they go.

Tom Ford is about to change all that.

While the relationship isn’t official like the one Reese Witherspoon enjoys with Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci, Ford, who recently launched a namesake men’s line and a Madison Avenue flagship to house it all, said he recently completed fittings with the actor in Los Angeles for his several public appearances at the Cannes Film Festival this week, which include the world premieres of A Mighty Heart and Ocean’s Thirteen. “Brad always looked too scruffy,” Ford said. “I wanted him to look chic, like a true movie star. Plus, he’s not a bad man to clean up.”

On Monday night, while Pitt’s paramour donned a vintage Pierre Balmain Haute Couture Chantilly lace cocktail dress she acquired at Decades, the actor appeared a new man clad in Ford’s made-to-measure black wool peak lapel three-piece tuxedo, which he wore with a white piquet plastron shirt, black velvet bow tie, and black patent leather shoes. The icing on the cake came in form of diamond studs and cufflinks, all from Ford’s collection, natch. This followed a press conference earlier in the day, where he wore a slightly more casual, albeit stunning, Tom Ford made-to-measure grey suit, shirt, shoes and cufflinks. “I never wear a tie during the day; it gives me headaches,” Ford said. Looks like Pitt has found himself a new role model.

para Spain: yo tengo 23 anos, y no soy ni mexicana ni argentina, sino venezolana, alguna vez has venido. si no haz venido te invito a que lo hagas, es uno de los paises más hermosos del mundo, la gente es fabulosa, y a pesar de que un loco es el presidente, no todo es tan malo como aparece en las noticias a nivel mundial.

I agree only/me if my finance tells me that marriage doesn’t have to be for all time, then you have to go in that marriage with the reality that’s its not going to last and don’t be shocked when it does or not marry the guy to begin with, because lets face it when brad made that quote this was not a fairy tale marriage,this was an eventual out-it doesn’t sound romantic to me but a business arrangement,i’m not saying he didn’t love her but by him saying that she wasn’t the love of his life.

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I think I am really starting to like Lainey. Notice I only like, not love I love JJ though

Botswana’s Bushmen Ask Angelina Jolie For Help, June 2, 2006

Botswana’s Kalahari Bushmen are seeking the support of Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie in their fight to reclaim their ancestral lands, a London-based organisation supporting them said on Thursday.

Jolie — a United Nations Children’s Fund ambassador — is currently in neighbouring Namibia, having recently given birth to a daughter, Shiloh, her first child with fellow actor Brad Pitt.

“We have heard that you are very interested in human rights,” reads the open letter to Jolie from Bushman organisation First People of the Kalahari and released by Survival International. “The government is trying to destroy us and we are asking for your help in our battle to save our people.”

Survival International, which helps tribal people “defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures”, has waged a 30-year campaign in support of the San Bushmen.

It maintains they were driven out of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve — one of the world’s largest sanctuaries — to make way for diamond mining, a claim the government has denied.

The government in the capital, Gaborone, has maintained that it resettled the Bushmen in villages where it could provide them with water and social amenities.

Writing before the birth, the Bushmen extended their “blessing and good luck” to Jolie on her pregnancy.

They added: “Those who remain inside the game reserve are not allowed to hunt and gather and have no access to water.

“The health situation is bad in the resettlement camps. Young people are getting HIV and are drinking. This is not the way of our people. The death rate is now high.”

About 240 San Bushmen have taken the Botswana government to court to secure the legal right to return to the reserve they have called home for the past 20 000 years.

Once numbering millions, roughly 100 000 San are left in Southern Africa, with almost half of those — 48 000 — in Botswana. Others are spread across Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. — Sapa-AFP

Thank you for bringing this over. I’m loving Lainey of late. I’ll probably go back to being wary of her soon enough though.
