Brad is Back to Working Man Status

In the VF interview.. I also thought she was refering to the fact that he hit the ground running. they decided to call it off together.. she was a little broken up over it and he went right into the M&MS publicity tour and suddenly he is free to do what he wants and there Angie and Mad are.. and he took the opportunity to start a relationship. I think she was hurt that he didn’t mourn the end of their relationship longer. It looked bad.. it implied something more was going on there even if it was untrue. Plus the W photo spread which was a great concept and executed perfectly but was timed horribly with the break up and the rumors.

Then she moved on with Vince..but the media and the public already had grabbed on to their favorite dead horse and they are still whipping it.

And it will not matter how many times she denys that anything happened or her friends verify it.. people are just too excited to blame angelina and cry foul for all the people who grew up loving Rachel Green and thinking Brad and Jen were the golden child.. the hate sells magazines..

Even if and/or when they break up.. the media hounds will still be beating this “love triangle”.

This morning someone posted an article from the washington post about US Weekly and their new mission of truth, great article. I love that us weekly is doing that because it just show how lame all tabloids are (of course us included) since they started doing so, janice min has become a celebrity in her own, doing interview left and right and trying to explain how the “vince proposes” cover was true. Tabloids are grasping for anything right now and the fact that their whole inner battle has became so PUBLIC only give us the public, a better view on how these lame publications lie to make a dollar.

Is there an easy way to “refresh” on here? everytime I try to see new comments it reverts on me, and some are missing.

Thanks!

Here you go Neela!

CANNES, France, May 22 We’re invited to what the publicists describe as “an intimate press conference” with Angelina Jolie. They don’t have to ask twice. Jolie walks into the seaside bungalow at the Hotel du Cap looking very movie star, very glamorous, very “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” thin as a razor, a pair of golden aviator sunglasses perched on her head and bronze Christian Louboutin heels. Dressed to Cannes.

One of the dozen reporters begins by asking who she is wearing, then jokes that they never ask the guys that.

“Except for Brad,” Jolie says, laughing, flashing the big teeth, and thereby signaling that she is not unhappy to be here. That this could be okay. That we are not here with the icy distant planet Jolie, that actress who recently has appeared through the lens to be inscrutable, so wrapped in wrapping that she is unwrappable, just physically recoiling from the media’s need to feed on any bit of exposed flesh, the relationship with Brad Pitt, the serial international adoptions, the baby-birthing in Africa, the globe-trotting Hollywood do-gooderisms, etc., etc.

Jolie is at the Cannes Film Festival to promote “A Mighty Heart,” a small-budget project produced by Pitt (also here, for “Ocean’s Thirteen”) about the life and death of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter. The movie (a love story, a thriller, a police procedural) is told from the harrowing perspective of his wife, Mariane Pearl, whom Jolie portrays in the weeks between his disappearance in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2002 and his terrible end by beheading, which was captured on video. The film has been warmly received by the critics at Cannes, and they have praised Jolie and British director Michael Winterbottom for their restraint, for not turning the movie into a movie about Angelina Jolie. (Nor is the beheading shown; it is witnessed through the reactions of actors seeing the tape. Nor is Jolie’s French accent a distraction.)

And her celebrity, it helps? “I would love to think it’s a help, but sometimes it can be a distraction. With a subject matter and a character like Mariane, it has to be handled so carefully,” Jolie says. “Because sometimes I’m so public in so many other ways, it could have hurt. I’m very conscious of that, more than feeling confident it would help. But now the film is made and we’re very proud of it. I’m glad to do everything I can to bring attention to it.”

Jolie recalls her three visits to Pakistan on humanitarian and refugee missions for the United Nations. The film depicts a complex Pakistan, beset by layers of intrigue, by anti-American jihadists, terrorists and their sympathizers, by corrupt officials, by double-dealers, but also people truly trying to help, including a Pakistani anti-terrorism captain who first appears to be a bad guy, then a good guy, who also tortures suspects to find Pearl.

“We’ll see if I get my next visa to Pakistan,” says Jolie, who continues: “It’s a very balanced film,” and “I have a love for that part of the world and I’m very sad how much every day it is breaking apart.”

The film contains scenes of the actor playing Daniel Pearl, Dan Futterman (who was nominated for an Oscar for his “Capote” screenplay), that were shot in Karachi, portrayed as a chaotic megacity of great poverty and brutality, yet with moments of humanity and grace. Jolie did not work in Pakistan for the film (it was too dangerous, Winterbottom says), but shot her scenes in India, which serves as a stand-in for the site of the house-headquarters where Mariane Pearl and her colleagues gathered to await news of the reporter’s fate. Pitt joined Jolie in India. “He’s a really good producer,” she says, “and he also spent most of the time at the hotel with our three kids, being an even better father.”

What does Jolie hope for the film? “I think there is a bigger message. I think we’re at a time in our lives where there is so much fear and there is so much anger and it’s hard for people to calm down enough to have a dialogue about finding solutions, and I think she, Mariane, is a great example of that because she, under the most extraordinary circumstances, remained very focused on having sympathy for the other side, even after what they did to her husband.” Jolie continues, “She said a few days after her husband was killed that she loved Pakistan.”

Jolie met with Mariane Pearl many times and says they have become friends.

“This story and this time is something everybody remembers, even studio heads; they actually care about it. They care about Danny Pearl and they care about Mariane,” Jolie says. “And even when we came to publicity, nobody asked for anything silly and nobody pushed.”

And that is the atmosphere here at the Hotel du Cap for the minutes we spend with Jolie. Nobody asks about Brangelina. We ask if the Pakistani captain who ferreted out Pearl’s killers had seen the film? “He saw it last night,” Winterbottom says, “and said it was like reliving it.” Jolie wonders whether we should put that in the newspaper and Winterbottom says it is fine. We like that Jolie is concerned about his safety.

She says she will finish up a film now shooting in Prague (the thriller “Wanted,” with Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy), and that soon she and Pitt plan to take a year off. She will keep flying planes. She just got instrument-rated and Pitt now has a pilot’s license. She says she takes precautions in her travels but will continue to see and experience the world. She might even learn how to cook. “I’ll say to Brad I’d like to make us some eggs,” Jolie says, “and he says don’t.”

Thanks, L in Philly! ;)

Anytime! :)

I posted this on the other thread but what I would like to know is howpeople will take pieces of videos and come to the conclusion that he is dissing her. Do you actually think that she would stand there and take that **** from any man? NOT ! Not even Mr. Pitt. He does have a bit of an ego but there are other things about him that are fantastic. I’m quite sure Angie can be that way sometimes. Angie was being very agressive for some reason. She was trying to prove a point. But he was also groping and kissing her in the theatre and looking for her and all over her too. He was just a bit smoother with his. He knew when the camera was on them and she just flat out didn’t care. That is just her. She has explained the differences in them before and you haters are not that dumb.YOu look for anything, and little move to say he doesn’t want her or she doesn’t want him. Now it’s he wasn’t there for a B’day. My first ? will be HOW DO YOU KNOW??? Give it a break. SHe’s a **** because they were making out in a limo. He was the one who jumped her. What does that make him? I’ve read several reports stating how they were out and about in Cannes a dinner w/ MP and a party w/GC making out like a couple of teenagers. He was more for it because there were no cameras. My only fault with Brad is that he likes to play games with the media and tries to play this role in front of cameras. That will not cut it for me or Angie long Buddy. That’s just being fake in my opinion. I know he doesn’t want to swap spit on the red carpet and neither does she, but people tend to get bit by their own games with the press.

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

Wobbler30, I know you’re a longtime fan of BAMPZS so that’s why I’m asking if you could explain what you meant about Brad up above. I kind of get the same feeling as you but I can’t put it into words. I’m mostly a Angelina fan and started liking Brad after he was with Angelina. There is something about Brad that feels like he is holding back. Is that what you mean also?

From PH/I know I went to the dark side/he has a pix of Brad in Montreal and Angelina in Prague with Pax and Z-BRAD FLEW INTO MONTREAL YESTERDAY-MONDAY

A friend of mine frisked him in the airport yesterday and was all ***** and giggles about it.

Bummer that she and the kids couldn’t make it as it would have been a good way for Ange to reconnect with her French Canadian/Iroquois heritage.

To the rest of you out there, Tabernacle, we do it better in Mon

A. in Montreal

So I guess this means Angie won’t be teaming up with Clint Eastwood in The Changeling?? :(

Actually Wobber is an Angelina fan. She has always question Brad feelings. Her semi negative post about Brad does not surprise.
