The Lucky Stars of Ocean’s 13
Time Magazine sat down with some of the stars of Ocean’s 13 — Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Ellen Barkin — on the terrace at the Hotel du Cap in Cannes, France.
Here’s are some funny excerpts:
On the subject of charisma, you’ve each been called the last great movie star at one point or another. Are we really running out of movie stars, and is that, like, a problem?
CLOONEY: The last real movie stars were probably Redford and Newman. And things were different then. There wasn’t this amazing amount of magazines and information about them.
DAMON: We didn’t know anything about them.
CLOONEY: There was mystique. They’re 60 feet high, and you paid your buck and a half to go see them. But that’s gone. People know everything about everybody now.
PITT: Jaws came along and proved you could make huge money with blockbusters, and it set this thing in motion that has lowered the subject matter. People like George have been getting good stuff out there, but it’s an industry that pushes people out on the big stage too fast, before they’re ready, and it eats them up as well. It’s a different kind of arena now.
BARKIN: Think about it. Do we know anything about Robert Redford’s children? Does he even have any?
DAMON: I worked with him, and I don’t know.
PITT: I have four, if you haven’t heard.
As we’re talking, there are paparazzi in boats out in the harbor taking pictures. Having just been through the celebrity muck of Cannes, who gets it the worst?
CLOONEY: There’s no question, it’s Brad.
PITT: Well, exponentially, with us together …
CLOONEY: But even before he was with [Angelina Jolie], we used to chum the water with him.
PITT: This is not a joke. They used to send me out to take the hits.
CLOONEY: We were at the airport in Italy. So I walk off the plane, and it’s “Hey, Giorgio!” And I go, “Look! Brad Pitt!” and they’re gone.
DAMON: You described it once as “People were stepping on our faces trying to get to Brad.”
PITT: Ah, well, I don’t take it as a compliment.

Please I don’t want to offend anyone that have been posting for the last hour or so. But just out of curiousity how old are you all?
I came to JJ’s over two years ago and what we talked about was more than, where is Brad’s tatoo on Angie.
Oh well, times change I guess. As long as you all are having fun that is all what counts.
Yes, the average age of posters @ JJ has considerably gotten younger.
I suspect clearview is from FF and I have a sneaky feeling its twokids2 or one of her FF buddies.
Report Abuse # 335 | Weakcrest is fowl
Well there is a Clearview that has been a fan of Brad and Angelina for quite some time. Sadly on JJ your name can be stolen so I can’t be positive who is posting here.
OT did anyone watch Starter Wife of USA channel. I thought is was quite boring.

Jo que super noticia¡¡la cara de caballo tiene una cita,un hombre,un perro o lo que sea..
Pues con el pastón que tiene,ya podria producirse una peli,para ver si es noticia por su trabajo algún dia…no quieren trabajar con ella?no me extraña,sus compañeros masculinos en las pocas peliculas que ha hecho nunca han estado peor..y esque el talento llama al talento,ni cuando es tan mala actuando,hace malo al otro..Pero ella superfeliz con esa piel de naranja que delata sus 38 tacos,esos pechos falsos,esa cara tan largaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa¡¡no sigo que tengo pa dos o tres semanas..Bueno la foto de ayer de ANGIE con sus niños no es la mejor que le han sacado¡¡parecia hasta que tenia barriguita..Echo de menos su escultural cuerpo de Lara,guauuuuuuuuuuu,yo desee ser ella cuando la vi en esa peli.Pero si ella es feliz siendo madre,pues muy bien.Me sorprenderia si veo a Angie en la premier de los oceanos,al fin y a cabo tiene que rodar todavia en Praga,y a lo mejor también piensa que los gilipollas de los tabloides tienen que seguir comiendo y si decide no ir,ya tienen material hasta las navidades de este año…Por mi que no vaya,lo deseo de verdad y que se jodan todos los parásitos que viven a costa de su imagen y apariciones públicas.Eso si en la premier de un corazón poderoso,que vaya imponente(cosa no demasiado dificil)Y de paso que lleve a Shiloh a ver si a los haters sin cerebro les da definitivamente el jamacuco…no creo que la peli triunfe en USA,es más fracasará…pero en Europa triunfará,que pa eso queridos americanos tenemos más cultura cinematográfica.A vosotros os dejamos el hombre y sus aventuras sin sentido y pateticas para una señora tan vieja
Viva Angie coño¡¡la semana que viene me libero,es decir LO VOY A CONSEGUIR..
ALE SI ALGUIEN ME ENTIENDE,SE GANA UN PERRITO PILOTO
ANGIE FOREVER¡¡¡¡
BYE O ADIOS,O HASTA LUEGO..BESITOS,O BESAZOS AHAHAH DESVARIO YA

It will be the best selling marie Claire EVER. Guaranteed.

I don’t think so, her Vogue issue was her first interview about Brad and the kids and didn’t sell very well, it did ok. MC will do ok sales but I’m sure it won’t be the best selling issue at all.
************************
How can you say it did not sell well, im sure youa re only assuming since you are hater!!!You dont even have a link that its been published how many were sold.
Angie doesnt have a publicist who will report on how much her mag cover sells unlike maniston’s PR who report and fabricate stories for her all the time since she is becoming irrelevant already.

*snark* I’m sorry, but WHY would the world be interested if the ex had a date? lmao I have to go with Lainey on this one. Brad in the news for producing/acting, and all it can come up with is this
=======
Me too. she was not spotted for several weeks then suddenly pop out at Malibu with her sorority gang??? when Brad and Angie were making waves at Cannes festival. I agree with the opinions of Lainey. Huvaniston conspiracy.
not sorry don’t pay any attention to this troll, i’ve noticed that he/she basically comes here and adamantly says things like brad’s in montreal, angie won’t be doing the changeling but he/she offers no proof just adamantly states things as a fact with no links-its funny because in its head he/she probably believes it-lol
on a more positive not june 4 th angies birthday-i curious what pappa pitt will be doing for her this weekend and for her b-day

# 196 | How pathetic @ 05.31.2007 6:17 pm
The media and Jennifer Aniston friends and her fans are still treating her like a victim. After two years. Pathetic
“[Jennifer] is doing so good,” longtime friend Kathy Najimy recently told PEOPLE. “She’s fantastic. Couldn’t be better.”
Najimy is speaking about Jennifer as if someone close to her died. It’s actually quite pathetic.
Do you read Reese’s friends talking about her being better than ever. NO because Reese is a strong independent talented woman and all that BS is not needed.
If Jennifer were a strong person this would not still be happening. Trust her having a boyfriend will not change anything. She will always allow others to treat her as a victim.

I doubt the story is true – this time I do believe is her PR at work bringing People a spoon fed story. Who would say this: “Still, it’s not as if Aniston needs a man to be happy.” That is so pathetic in my opinion. Cause we all know she does and it’s obvious. Poor girl, she needs to invest her millions in some serious therapy. Besides where are the pics? In my opinion, this story is unbelievable and pathetic.
_______________________
The little People square on the cover, was a big purchase for Huvane. He had to beg and plead and plead and beg. People usually doesn’t dabble in nothing stories, and obvious PR stunts - so he really pulled out all the big guns…that little NON-story, really had all the elements; the friend ‘insisting’ Jen is doing great, like she just came through a couple rounds of chemo, the nothing ‘date’ with some anonymous dude who (gasp! shock!) held her hand briefly at one point and rubbed her back at another (oooooh, can you feel the heat?!), and the final cryptic “Still, it’s not as if Aniston needs a man to be happy.”
I’m thinking that HAD to be an inside joke from a disgruntled People staff writer who couldn’t believe he was being saddled with a Maniston plant, and knows she’s as phony as the day is long…because that comment almost feels like it’s missing something, the way it’s worded….“Still, it’s not as if Aniston needs a man to be happy, she just needs other people to THINK SHE HAS A MAN, TO BE HAPPY.”
LMAO, what a phoney baloney b*tch - Huvane is still raking it in I see, I wonder if he’s made a nice sized dent in the 110 million yet.
Come on Huvy, sap her, drain her!!
Oh the reason for it all?
Oprah’s reality show debut which she will be on with Jaime Oliver (the brit chef who’s now in the states to hype himself )- she didn’t want to appear in public on O’s new show, and be quesioned about her life without appearing to have ’somebody’ on the backburner that she was dating (remember this IS the woman, who said after the split, in one of her pity party recovery magazine spreads, rather stupidly, ‘I’m a partner person, I’m better in a team,’ or words to that effect.) People know this about her, which is why I think People was having a bit of fun with that comment. The People item gives her something to mention on Oprah - whether it’s that she’s ‘got a man’ or that she ‘doesn’t need a man.’
#320|A Fan…
Thanx 4 posting that video! It brings back memories.
I saw it some time ago & it sure is great - Not 2 mention eye-opening. So many celebrities walking the red carpet, waving to fans, and stopping to get their pictures taken. Yet the real action didn’t start until Brad showed up… From quiet, controlled talking of fans 2 fever-pitched, hysterical screaming starts. If it were me, I’d get back in the car and take off… but Brad didn’t. Instead of following the security detail up the red carpet, he diverts and goes to the fans. I laughed when they ended up following HIM!
So many things to do at the same time while: signing autographs, talking 2 them, waving, leaning over 2 let his picture be taken… all while successfully avoiding the beefy guys trying to hustle him up the red carpet. LOL It reminds me of many similar instances…
Also, I HOPE SOMEBODY HERE CAN HELP ME [& that this thread stays open until I get the following cleared up…
I remember 1 from years ago that got him bawled out by London police during the premiere of… “Seven” or “Devil’s Own”…? I think it was the latter, I’m not sure. Or it could have been a fan getting hurt before he arrived…
Watching the live feed on ET where he went over 2 the crowd & was roughly pulled away by a cop, heated words were exchanged, and then another cop came over to stop Brad from going back 2 the crowd, and they hustled him up the red carpet. I thought to myself: that’s weird, to say the least.
The next day I read in the paper that something had happened before he arrived - death threats from Irish Terrorists or a fan got hurt before he got there & they were trying 2 protect nopt only him, but the fans as well…
Please, someone tell me I didn’t imagine it… Does ANYONE else remember it? If so, is there a video of it somewhere on the ‘net?
Oh well, I’m going 2 bed. G’night all.
It will be the best selling marie Claire EVER. Guaranteed.

Exactly. Some idiots at FF said a while back that the Vogue didn’t sale any copies because they went into a Wal-Mart and saw the copies there. Then they think that’s evidence enough that the magazine didn’t sell. The only way we really know is if something is released (like they did with the Shiloh People mag issue) or like you said, a publicist sends out reports of how much the mag sells. Angelina is above that **** that Aniston pulls.
does anyone know when the AMH premiere in NYC will be-hopefully jared will be there to.
You know what? For Peecrust to have announced that on his show, I have a feeling he’s going to make the mistake of thinking he’s actually as big as his ego, and go on a mission yet again to try and tangle with Brad and Angie. WRONG movie. More than half of HW will kick his aSS. LOL
Dear Ted:
You gave Angelina Jolie a “Hottie” rating on your Do Me Meter, and I have to agree. She looked absurdly gorgeous in her Cannes photos. But did you get a chance to see how skinny her arms and legs reveal her to be? With all the talk about Kate Bosworth and Nicole Richie and their Ginsu-sharp clavicles, why is there no mention of Jolie or Jessica Alba for that matter?

Dear Caloric Queen:
There has been some chitchat ’bout Angie’s plummeting pounds in the goss rags, but I guess till she accidentally drops a kid on the safari caravan she’s off the hook.
===============================================
please i don’t understand what Ted casablanca mean englsh is my second language. thanks in advance
