OlderThe 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.

Let me find out Ocean and the gang stole ugly-ass Ellen’s butt in the movie. Damn that prankster Clooney, give back her ass George!
Thanks JJ. This interview is so funny and it shows how humble Brad is despite all the media and public attention he gets. I remember a scene from Ocean’s Twelve premier in Japan when they are arriving at the airport. When Matt came out of the door, he told the interviewer, “watch all the girls scream when Brad comes out.” They are so funny!
Isn’t Star the worst though when it comes to the Jolie-Pitt bashing?
Thanks JJ. This interview shows how humble BP is despite all the media attention. I remembered their arrival in Tokyo airport for Oceans 12 shown on TV. When Matt came out of the door, he told the interviewer, “Watch out for the girls scream when Brad comes out.” They are so funny.

MMMMMM, why are you here. if you hate angie and brad so much you shouldn’t be here. if I don’t like someone, i don’t even bother to waste my time talking about them. obviously you like them you just don’t want to admit it. you probably like brad & angie 5% and hate them 95% which is fine with me. just come out and admit it you stupid A hole.

When did I say I hated anyone? Good for and the things you do .. Funny tho if I am an “A hole” I would assume from your foul tone towards me that you dont like me? So, what are you doing wasting your time talking about me? LOL
Mmmmm has made it a mission in her life to annoy us, even if it means she will have to be on JustJared 24/7/365. Just ignore her; I have learned to scroll past her name as soon as I see it.

Why is he hiding her?
o13 ,huh?
#37, scrolling along…Yup, same here.
In one quote from George on the first page of the interview the writer has Angelina’s name in brackets. This usually means they are substituting the actual name for some other the readers may not recognize. I am SO curious to know what George called her! I am guessing he knows her so well by now he has a pet name for her…
they should mention there wives dont ya think?hello.
matt desrves attention too.hes a celebrity.pitt an clooney,blah
matt desrves attention too.hes a celebrity.pitt an clooney,blah
Did you know each other at that point?
CLOONEY: I knew him afterward.
DAMON: “Hey, that’s the f___ing guy that took my job!”
CLOONEY: My friends said, “You want to see Thelma & Louise?” And I’m like, “F___ Thelma & Louise!” But it was fairly obvious when you saw the movie why I didn’t get it, ’cause Brad just knocked it out of the park.
PITT: Aw, they were just grooming you for Batman.
~Hilarious~

US Magazine’s Twisted Double Life!
The cover story of the June 11 issue of US Weekly — “Inside Shiloh’s World: The secret home life of a daddy’s girl and the surprising truth about Mom” — breathlessly promises an exclusive inside peek at the day-to-day family life of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their children, with emphasis on daughter Shiloh, who recently celebrated her first birthday.
Star decided to investigate — and discovered that US Weekly’s revelations about Jolie-Pitt’s “secret home life” aren’t so secret after all. In fact, most of the article has been recycled from TV interviews and other magazines, including Reader’s Digest, U.K.’s Elle and Glamour!
++++++++++++
ROTFLMFAO! It’s nice to see the Star firing back at Janice Min. Min has started a Black Widow Feeding Frenzy at the tabloids. Here’s hoping all choke to death on their own rancid meat.
