The Lucky Stars of Ocean’s 13

The Lucky Stars of Ocean’s 13

Time Magazine sat down with some of the stars of Ocean’s 13Brad 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.

Page 62 and 63 of US Weekly
They expose all the Life and Style lies about Brad and Angie breaking up. They showed the front cover of over 10 L&S, write a synopsis of the story and have a verdict. For instance

L&S - Brad is still in love with Jen. He plans on going back to her.
Verdict - No reunion

L&S - Brad is spending more time at work, Jen sees this as a sign of problems between Angie and Brad. They are on the verge of a break up.
Verdict - No break up

L&S - Brad is talking to Jen, Angies thinks he’s about to break up with her.
Verdict - they are still going strong.
“““““““““““
It’s a trash eat trash world.

Bahahahaha!! I’m lovin’ this!! They are cannibalizing each other!! Except I wish they had been even more definitive on some of those and said, ‘Reunion? With maniston?? Bahahahahaha!! Brad would, at this point, take Robin Givens, Paltrow, and Juliette Lewis back before he’s darken Maniston’s door again…hell he’d hang himself by his own shoelaces before he’d reunite with maniston…and everyone knows it, but these tabloids who are going after the faniston mini-vans.

Jen is better than ever. @ 05/31/2007 at 5:32 pm

The former Friends star, 38, spent Memorial Day weekend getting cozy with a handsome mystery man with dirty-blond hair.

Although his identity remains in question, one thing’s for sure: During a romantic dinner at Santa Monica’s One Pico restaurant in the Shutters Hotel on Saturday, he had the actress’s undivided attention.

At 8 p.m. the pair slipped into the beachfront eatery with Aniston’s man gently rubbing her back as they waited for a table.

For the next three hours the duo talked by candlelight over a bottle of San Pellegrino, leaning in close and, at one point, even holding hands across the table. (Her rep had no comment on the dinner date.)

Still, it’s not as if Aniston needs a man to be happy. She seemed content to fly solo the next day at a local beach bash, palling around with neighbors Courteney Cox, David Arquette and their daughter Coco. Later, back at the Cox-Arquette abode, Aniston mingled with about a dozen guests while her pooch Dolly barked at the holiday commotion.

“[Jennifer] is doing so good,” longtime friend Kathy Najimy recently told PEOPLE. “She’s fantastic. Couldn’t be better.”

Why is Brad constantly avoiding Jolie? She’s very grabby but he only RECOILS. It’s priceless. Gotta feel for the guy…

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.

People magazine kissing aniston ass is blah.

# 180 | Jen is better than ever.

Great! Now her fans can leave the JP threads…and we can stop talking about her.

I can’t wait!

I hope ther reason People don’t have Brad and Angie in this weeks publication is because they have something special for us fans next week.

Thanks for the new thread Just Jared. Ellen B. must have gotten a kick out of being the only female in the cast. George certainly looks like a happy camper. Matt Damon is a good actor and has a wicked sense of humor. Papa pit is looking mighty fine and is a good actor also. Thanks for the interview. It was a funny read. I see the tabloids war is in high gear. There is no honor among theives especially dirty tabloids that steal from legitimate sources and call it exclusive. It is funny how some celebs run to tab after tab to refute rumors, leak old nude shots to hide recent plastic surgery, or go on tv to refute engagement/breakup rumors. On the other hand, BP and AJ sit back, live their lives and let the tabloids go at each other. Gotta love it!!!. Eventually the truth will prevail. AJ does not have to prove anything to tabloids, revenge seeking females or troublemakers. It is what it is. Best wishes to BAMPZS. Peace to all.

Paid escort…? Also referred to as a “walker”, to be seen with a woman who does not want to be thought of as manless….strictly business, usually.

AddictedtoBAMPZs @ 05/31/2007 at 5:49 pm

Someone predicted this exact scenario would occur after the spectacular week Brad and Angelina enjoyed in Cannes..

PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE THAT X HAS GOT A MAN,HER FANS MIGHT MOVE ON

Oops, I meant Papa Pitt.
(Interesting article about he paps in Prague)

Postcard from Prague
Stalking Brangelina
Wednesday, May. 30, 2007 By KATERINA ZACHOVALOVA Paparazzi in Prague
The day after the young Czech paparazzo Dalibor Puchta was memorably arrested after trying to photograph Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie from a garage near the sleek villa the couple had rented in Prague, neighbors are out indulging their evening routines.

Whether annoying Hollywood’s glamour couple or stalking a traumatized Czech TV star, it’s all in a (not exceptionally well-paid) day’s work for the paparazzi of Prague

“We have never seen so many dogwalkers around here,” quipped store manager Sabina Dankova, 35, sipping coffee and dragging on a cigarette outside her house. Proud of having Hollywood’s most glamorous couple as temporary neighbors while Jolie was in town to film her next action flick, Dankova sounded a solemn note: “I hope [the paparazzi] do not bug them too much, so they do not move.”

Contrary to her wishes, the Czech tabloids happily reported that Jolie flipped out after Czech shutterbugs found ways to photograph the family in the privacy of their temporary home. Such images would cause problems for any American gossip sheet silly enough to run them, but in the Czech Republic they are perfectly legal.

The Prague paparazzi frenzy is driven by cutthroat competition. Seventeen years after the fall of communism, Czechs no longer fear for the fate of their democracy and many have long since tired of reading about stale politics. So, the mainstream newspapers have gone soft, and the yellow press has flourished. “We have three tabloid dailies and they are fighting for survival,” says Ondrej Hoeppner, a former editor of the fourth gossip sheet that had already succumbed.

The pressure is most acute on the photographers. The rule, says Puchta, is that you can’t bring back to the office any less than what your paper’s competition has. But the media market is so small in this country of 10 million that it often makes sense for the competing paparazzi to team up. Especially when the subject is working very hard to remain elusive. That’s what’s brought the paparazzi pack out here tonight in hooded sweatshirts and discreet earpieces as they maintain radio contact with one another in search of gaps in the protective shield provided by Brangelina bodyguards.

“It’s impossible to stop it,” Hoeppner gripes of the impromptu cartel deals. Even for an exclusive photo, a Czech tabloid would pay a fraction of what its U.S. equivalents might. Most Czech celebrity shutterbugs are simply well-paid salarymen. “Better the money, bigger the threat your editor will scold you, ‘How come you don’t have that?’ ” Hoeppner says.

He may not have earned loads of cash, but his arrest has certainly earned Puchta some respect. “I am popular now. The bodyguards at Bailando step back in awe,” he quips in reference to a celebrity reality-television contest.

The brown-eyed, baby-faced 24-year-old stumbled into the life of “a society photographer” after dropping out of medical school “and some four other universities.”

But he has little time for talking. “Our editor wants more [stalking],” he explains with the hint of a scoff. “Apparently we don’t have enough for the front page.”

Having returned with her kids from Cannes, Jolie may actually get a break from the unruly local paparazzi, whose attention has now turned to homegrown stories. First, there’s the story of an eight-year-old boy allegedly locked up naked and tied by his own mother. “Two beauties from Hollywood can’t match something this heavy,” Hoeppner remarks matter-of-factly.

Puchta, meanwhile, is out hunting for a 45-year-old local television star returning home alone — “visibly crushed,” the tabloids tell us the next morning — from a hospital after giving birth to her gravely ill seventh child.

Given the circumstances, it seems almost foolish to ask if there’s a line he would never cross. “I find myself constantly pushing that line. I keep telling myself it’s just a game,” Puchta says with a sigh, his voice fading out. A few months earlier, he had the distinction of being the first in the paparazzi pack to snap a young widow after her aging husband, a famous pop composer, had blown his brains out. That “coup” did not make him feel especially proud. “A trained monkey can do it,” says the tabloid lensman. “This is not photography. It’s waiting around in a car. It starts getting on my nerves…” Then, he quickly corrects himself: “Don’t jot that down. You have to write I am a motivated, successful, young paparazzo who doesn’t mind getting busted.”

Who cares what stupid Aniston is doing? Mystery man … and that is so important, probably she will go to Oprah because this is something ”new” in her life … Why are we still talk about her? WHY??? I’m not her fan, and I’m sure that here are also lots of people who don’t care about Aniston …
But I have to admit this ” Still, it’s not as if Aniston needs a man to be happy” - who believes in that?!?
I’m from Croatia (sorry for all spelling mistakes), and here Friends were not wery popular, I don’t know, my friends also didn’t like that character of Aniston, I don’t remember her name, with R … , in croatian: FUJ!
I hope that by the end of this year we will finally stop talking about Aniston!

Go Angie and Brad!!

PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE THAT X HAS GOT A MAN,HER FANS MIGHT MOVE ON
———————————————–

I so agree with you! Man or woman, don’t care, only thing that is important is that we don’t need to read stupid comments from X fans!

TINKA ITS THE ANNISTONUTS WHO ARE POSTING THEIR IDOLS NEWS.

Who cares if an ugly woman acquires a man?

Please let this be true, but she lies all the time and tries so hard to stay in the lime light, he could be a paid escort.

If this is true, this would be MY Christmas present and probably Brad and Angies as well if this b i t c h finally finds someone and moves on.

Angie’s birthday is coming up soon!!! Happy early birthday to you Angie! I can just picture Brad helping the kids color a homemade birthday card for their mom…CUTENESS!

How pathetic @ 05/31/2007 at 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.
