George Almost Busts Brad’s Balls

First…they look good..

Oh how true, how true.

They really seem to have a good time.

I´ve got nothing else to say—the alcohol is waiting!

Love it. Thanks

I think we should let the haters hate them, because it only makes their love so much stronger. Remember the saying, when you point 1 finger at someone, 3 more is pointing at you.

Their humor’s enjoyable.

Just wait!! The haters will be here in no time posting how Brad and Angie’s fans have no life and whatever, when in fact the haters are here as much as Brad and Angie’s fans!!

But at least Brad and Angie’s fans don’t post under different names like the poster “Mmmmm” who was agreeing with itself in the last thread!!

You guys should just take your own advice and shut up about the haters, you say it everyday, over and over again. Learn to just skip it and move on. Do not say a word. Please grow up Bampzsers’. Also you should quit going to Aniston site under fake names and degrade her. Please do not deny the truth. Everyone here must be 13 or 14 at least.

***** this is what you posted on another thread. follow what you preach. yet, you’re on here pestering others as well. what makes you any different from the bampzsers. talk about hyporcisy. it’s not about age. it’s about the level of mental maturity, not actual age. so, you’re just as immature as the rest.

It strikes me that both of you have managed to keep a certain level of mystery about yourselves despite all the scrutiny. I mean, Brad, you were just down there smoking a cigarette hunched behind a barrier.
PITT: [Picks up tape recorder and speaks directly into it] No, he wasn’t! He wasn’t smoking! Um… Honey! Honey, that was George! [Laughs]

This is funny…

So George Clooney waved to Angelina and Maddox and got no response?? HA!! HA!! HA!! This was so funny!!

======================================================================SO WHAT? I dont hate anyone,including you, WHOEVER YOU ARE.”???????” Dont you have a name??????/

Thanks for the great read, Jared!

Heh, George does seem a bit orange and a tad greasy, but he does have charisma. And Brad Pitt looks good for his age (I’m sure many will beg to differ). But their sense of humor is very charming.

I love when Brad or Angelina talk about each other…it is so cute.

EW: I’m curious what you think of the state of the male movie star in Hollywood right now.
Pitt: I’m actually a woman trapped in a man’s body. We’re going to be doing something about that soon.
EW: Is Angelina aware of this?
Pitt: Yeah, she’s all for it. Kinda into it, actually.

I love this guy lol

Thanks Jared

Thanks JJ for the new thread, I’m going to get the mag. today. They are so funny.

Rolling Stone Review

Pitt and the lads are back in luck in this spiffy Vegas three-peat. Brad Pitt doesn’t really act in Ocean’s Thirteen, he just glides through the third chapter in Steven Soderbergh’s heist-flick annuity on the magic carpet of his own unimpeachable cool. Don’t knock it. Genuine star power is rare — just watch Colin Farrell, Jude Law and Orlando Bloom struggle to attain it. Pitt has it in spades — all aces.
Like Dean Martin did with Rat Pack capo Frank Sinatra in Ocean’s Eleven back in the Pleistocene era (1960), Pitt, 43, damn near holds his own with George Clooney, 46, the current go-to icon for effortless charm. That they both rolled craps in 2004’s Ocean’s Twelve, the self-satisfied ringer in the series, seems to have taught a hard lesson: Do not overplay the arrogance card. While co-stars Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and Al Pacino, as the scrappy villain of the piece, knock themselves out to add juice to the movie, Pitt, following Clooney’s lead, never breaks a sweat. And yet we’re grabbed, drawn in by something beyond looks.

Despite the tabloid scrutiny that follows Pitt and Angelina Jolie on their merry rounds of film and baby making, Pitt has become increasingly comfortable in his own skin. His newfound ease becomes him. As Rusty Ryan, chief wingman for Clooney’s Danny Ocean, Pitt takes the same light-fingered approach to robbing a casino as he does to stealing a scene. “Are you crying?” Rusty asks, catching Danny sniffling at an Oprah giveaway show on the tube. The setup evokes the kind of banter that Frank and Dean thrived on. But Pitt turns Rusty’s amusement into a deeper curiosity. Is he being played, or did he detect a twinge of sincerity in Ocean? Feelings are dangerous in a gambler and a thief. No wonder Rusty’s on the lookout.

Still, it’s feelings that kick-start Ocean’s Thirteen, written with beyond-the-call-of-duty panache by Brian Koppelman and David Levien, renowned in my house for the poker cult classic that is Rounders. The only person who can get Ocean tearier than Oprah is his pal Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould in top form), who has just been royally screwed out of his stake in the Strip’s newest hotel-casino, the Bank. In a burst of Trump-like hubris, Pacino’s Willy Bank has named the place after himself. To revenge Reuben, the boys — including the priceless Carl Reiner as Saul Bloom — decide to take down Willy and his Bank.

The movie is all heist, which Soderbergh carries off in high style. Is the Oscar-winning director of Traffic slumming with this piffle? You bet. But this time he doesn’t let it show. His only misstep is the subplot involving Damon trying to seduce Willy’s number two (Ellen Barkin). Barkin, reunited with Sea of Love co-star Pacino, is too smart and sexy to be the butt of cheap cougar jokes lobbed by the boys.

Otherwise all is well, especially the sparring between Pitt and Clooney. “Keep the weight off,” Rusty teases Ocean, referring to the pounds Clooney packed on for Syriana. “Settle down, have a couple of kids,” Ocean winks back in a real-life reference no one could miss. It takes skill and experience to erase the line between actor and character without turning off the audience. We know Clooney can do it. But Pitt is the real surprise. Top performances in Fight Club, Seven, 12 Monkeys and last year’s Babel have erased the self-consciousness of his days as a stud muffin. In Ocean’s Thirteen, Pitt is not out to prove himself. He’s a star, baby, and in the highest praise one gambler can pay another in this class act of a caper movie, he’s worthy to shake Sinatra’s hand.

these two Brad & George are funny. what a pair.

Brad Pitt is such a sweet guy. I love it whenever he refers to how happy he is right now in his life. Actually one can see it. He is always smiling these days. I am so happy for him and for his lovely lady. Mad, Pax, Zee and Shi are so blessed to have them. Love this family!

You both seem to project some kind of Zen calm.

CLOONEY: [Feigning hostility] What the f— do you mean by that?!

PITT: Yeah, motherf—er! [Laughter]

~Coolest two guys in Hollywood~

to #32

I’m sure Brad is Not afraid of Angelina, dipshit. He most likely is trying very hard to quit and He slips up once in a while.Doesn’t want her to know.
I’m sure Angelina just is concerned for his health.
That’s what people do when they love each other.
They care.
you might check in to it.

38 nero | 06/07/2007 at 6:11 pm
Is it me or did Brad justs admit he was gay?
—————–
it is you. he did not admit he was gay, he just try to be funny. it is call humor. got it.

G’day from Australia,

You only have to watch one of the `Ocean’ movies to realise how good the chemistry is between Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

By the way, if you want to see the connection between Paris Hilton’s release from jail and the sellout success of the new Australian edition of Monopoly, check out my post `Home Run’ at authorblog.

BTW, I enjoyed the banter in your post about how Brad Pitt says he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body. That’ll get quoted!

Well done, mate

David

Although I could completely not understand sometimes when they joke aroud and because of my English level, their sense of humour is great.

They do enjoy their friendship.

The crowd is building in downtown Chicago for
the much anticipated arrival of the cast of OE 13. Brad will not be here. That may be a good thing because it is already too hot here. (90)

Okay, since I plan to be world-famous, continue to school me.
PITT: Just keep moving. That’s the key.
CLOONEY: You stop, you die. Lobbies of hotels and places like that are the worst. You have to just keep moving to the elevator, because you have to get the elevator door to close. [Mimes pressing a button] C’mon! C’mon!
PITT: And you can hear ‘em comin’.
CLOONEY: It’s like a stampede. [He pounds the table to simulate the footfalls of photographers and fans.] There’s usually a two- or three-second delay before somebody says…
TOGETHER: ”Hey! That looks like…”
CLOONEY: And you go Eeep! And run for the elevator.

—————————————–
lol

There have been gay rumors about Brad for YEARS.
This pretty much confirms it!
He’s bi and about to take the full step into all out gay.
Good for you Brad. Be true to yourself!

some of you are complete idiots and have ZERO sense of HUMOR.
God that must suck to take everything you read literally and not find any humor in anything.

I cant wait to see Oceans 13 on Friday!!!

(plz click my name and check out my site)

:)

I love how loons used to think smoking was the ultimate evil when ”other people” did it, but now Brad talks about it and it’s ”omg it’s so cute the way he talks about sneaking a smoke - squee!!”

Thank you Jared for all the lovely posts and pictures. I am even more anxious to see BOTH of their new movies.

I wish we could get rid of the vermin; but I guess they are just the price we have to pay for being fans of fantastic people. I lurk more, because sometimes they just make the place miserable…but, I’ll always be here in one way or another.

*AG Waving Furiously*
Oh wave for you my Baby, my sweetie, my darling…..GC my Love. You’re somebody yes you are…. yes you are. *Kisse, Kiss*

I just have to laugh at the posters trying to make Brad gay. Ted Casablanca of the Awful Truth came right out and said Brad is just about one of the straightest men in Hollywood. And if Ted doesn’t know, suspect or confirm–hey, then it ain’t happening. Plus, he has been with too many very straight, very opinionated women in his life…they would no more be his beard, than any other mans!

“you’ll be fine” was the funniest one.

oh goodness, it doesn’t take long for them to say something like this…ok, you can have the bottle of “smart” water that I’ve reserved for troll…I think you need it more….

They do love to make Clooney look like a buffoon.
PITT: They might top it with Pitt.
CLOONEY: They might. This one might end two careers in one shot.
PITT: [Laughs] I said to them, ‘’I don’t know how to play this, I mean, he’s such an idiot.’’ And there was a pause and then Joel goes…
TOGETHER: You’ll be fine! [Laughter]

LMAO you gotta love the cohen’s. He’s playing a dumb stoner gym trainer.

OK. No wonder SNL is no good these days. People like this person would not get old school SNL humor. Now everything has to be explained fully.

#34 Passing Through:

Yes, that was funny. I think it’s great that he and Angie can turn the negative things into
humor.

PITT: They might top it with Pitt.

=======================================
so, he’s playing himself?

Okey, now the pathetic haters are saying that Brad is Gay?, You are MISTAKEN; haters…. because the one who is really GAY is Maniston’s FAKE new “boyfriend”!! HA!! HA!! HA!! HA!!

72 lung transplant

You got to love fanistons. They believe anything Jenny says.

Okey, now the haters are TWISTING Brad’s words like they do with Angelina??

WOW!! This shows that the haters have NOTHING better to do than to analyze everything that Brad and Angie say!! And the haters accuse us of not having a life!!

83 what?

you believed Brad when he sad he quit.
Aniston has yet to be busted in a pic smoking since she said she quit. However Brad keeps getting caught..

You’re missing the biggest joke, forget the gay one, the dumb as a rock one is right on!

They do love to make Clooney look like a buffoon.
PITT: They might top it with Pitt.
CLOONEY: They might. This one might end two careers in one shot.
PITT: [Laughs] I said to them, ‘’I don’t know how to play this, I mean, he’s such an idiot.’’ And there was a pause and then Joel goes…
TOGETHER: You’ll be fine! [Laughter]

84 Ted C says | 06/07/2007 at 6:53 pm
Ted C used to hint all the time when Brad and Jen first got married that Jen was bearding for Brad. He also was the first to say the reason he hooked up with Angie was because she was the only woman who would ‘’give it to him’’ the way he secretly wanted.

—————————–

that’s true.
With Angie he can be the woman- just like he said!
And keep the illusion of being straight to keep all his fangirls happy.

explains what that thumb ring Angie had on is for…..not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Poor stupid haters they believe Ted C.!! I mean, talk about being desperate!! But i’m NOT surprise that the haters believe Ted C. if the haters bible is the tabloids!!

How predictable the haters want to make Brad gay. LOL..

I guess they are not teaching reading comprehension, sarcasm and humor in schools anymore….sheesh….grow up..

haters are brain-damaged people unable to comprehend sophisticated social thinking, sarcasm, humor, irony..etc….

I LOVE when women can’t accept the guy who make them wet is GAY

Hey, haters you forgot to mention that Ted C. say recently that Brad was STRAIGHT as a ARROW!! I mean, you believe everything of what Ted C. say, so why you don’t believe when Ted C. say that Brad is straight as a Arrow ?????

Instead of the haters trying to annoy and start crap form a wonderful funny interview. They should go over to perez site and cry ..lmao. The post on the blog has to be one of the most nasty post about their idol I have seen in a long time.

I LOVE when Manistons can’t accept the guy who make them lose their sh*t is not GAY!!

Doesn’t matter if Brad is straight or Bi.
Angelina still love him, his fans still love him.
He is stll the biggest star in Hollywood.
So Haters, keep all your useless craps to yourself.
I’m sure all the haters male or female like to fantasize about him

so they can quote Ted C. and we can’t?…WTH?

33 Rolling stone review

Pitt is the real surprise. Top performances in Fight Club, Seven, 12 Monkeys and last year’s Babel have erased the self-consciousness of his days as a stud muffin. In Ocean’s Thirteen, Pitt is not out to prove himself. He’s a star, baby, and in the highest praise one gambler can pay another in this class act of a caper movie, he’s worthy to shake Sinatra’s hand.

~~~This rolling stone review was great. Hell yes Brad is a star.

Thanks Jared. Great Interview. I bet these guy did this all day long while working.

This message is to the FANS who RESPOND to HATERS.
Haters have been around for over two years and we dealt with them by ignoring them most of the time. Sure we flagged them if it involved racial slurrs or death wishes especially on the kids or fellow posters. We sometimes we got tempted and responded but it was rare. I blame the reason why all new threads go to h e l l mostly on fans who respond to haters.
You know they are baiting you and still respond and defend Brad and Angie. They don’t need to be defended. They showed the world they are in love and a solid happy family. They are even talking about their golden years as the kids grow and leave the nest. Do you honestly believe they need us fans defending them to live their lives. NO. Now i they publish complete BS, sure we can send a message to them to show our displeasure. But please keep things in perspective. We are on a BLOG to have FUN!
This thread is a perfect example. EVERYONE including the HATERS know Brad and George are kidding as usual.
I am sorry if I offended anyone but at least I feel better. Enjoy this glorious families love and accomplishments.

Yeah, Brad is Gay because he was MARRY to a MAN for almost 5 years!! And this Man is Jennifer Aniston!!

Angelina Jolie Joins Council on Foreign Relations
THURSDAY JUNE 07, 2007 07:00 PM EDT

By Mary Green

Angelina Jolie has been showing her glamorous side lately – walking red carpets from Cannes to Hollywood – but Thursday she was honored for her philanthropic work by joining the Council on Foreign Relations, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

The prestigious think tank officially approved Jolie’s membership nomination, adding her to a group whose membership includes presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, ABC’s Diane Sawyer, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and journalist Tom Brokaw.

Earlier this year, Jolie, already a UN Goodwill Ambassador, was nominated and recommended for approval by the CFR membership.

“Angelina Jolie is accomplished in her field and has demonstrated serious interest in issues such as Darfur, international education and refugees,” says Lisa Shields, vice president of communications at CFR. “As such, her profile fits very well with other young professionals we’ve selected as the next generation of foreign policy leaders.”

In the new issue of Esquire, Jolie says she wants to be remembered for her humanitarian work, not her acting. “When I die, do I want to be remembered as an actress? No.” she tells the magazine. “I recently had a column published in a newspaper and at the end it didn’t say I was an actress. It said that I was a UN Goodwill Ambassador – that’s all. And I was really proud.”

For Jolie, her CFR membership is another big step in a path that began in 2001, when she first joined the United Nations refugee agency after visiting Cambodia while filming Tomb Raider, the country where she also adopted her first child, Maddox. Since that time, Jolie has visited refugee camps in over 30 countries, and adopted two other children, Zahara, 2, from Ethiopia and Pax Thien, 3, from Vietnam. She and boyfriend Brad Pitt also have a 1-year-old daughter, Shiloh.

Thanks for the Champagne! MF where are you? we need your Youtube video to celebrate.

As someone who was a fan here during the “year of silence”, nothing has been nicer than these last few weeks with all this wealth of information and pictures. Everyday almost there has been a new interview or a new event to read about. I remember when Brad and Angelina barely looked at each other in pictures, let alone smiled and touched each other. So sorry, no nonfans are going to ruin my fun watching a$$ grabbing and makeout sessions in limos! I can’t believe all the other fans here don’t feel the same way! :)

New thread again! My, you’re really spoiling us JJ. Thanks and keep it up.

Cheers to Angelina. New member of the CFR.

A TOAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHEER!…

such a great news. I have the feeling that Brad didn’t go to chicago because he wanted to celebrate and shared this moment with angie

Mission of CFP

Its mission is promoting understanding of foreign policy and America’s role in the world. Meetings are convened at which government officials, global leaders and prominent members debate major foreign-policy issues. It has “a think tank” that employs prominent scholars in international affairs and it commissions subsequent books and reports. A central aim of the Council, it states, is to “find and nurture the next generation of foreign policy leaders”. It established “Independent Task Forces” in 1995, which encourage policy debate. Comprised of experts with diverse backgrounds and expertise, these task forces seek consensus in making policy recommendations on critical issues; to date, the Council has convened more than fifty times.

The internal “think tank” is the The David Rockefeller Studies Program, which grants fellowships and whose programs are described as being integral to the goal of contributing to the ongoing debate on foreign policy; fellows in this program research and write on the most important challenges facing the United States and the world.

At the outset of the organization, founding member Elihu Root said the group’s mission, epitomized in its journal Foreign Affairs, should be to “guide” American public opinion. In the early 1970s, the CFR changed the mission, saying that it wished instead to “inform” public opinion.

Congrats Angie…that’s my girl…

Smart and Sexy

Congratulations angelina.You are a great human being and you deserve it.

I am so glad that Angie was selected to this. I hope Brad and Angelina will be able to celebrate tonight.

for Angelina: Maria Claire
Esquire
Parade

for Brad : EW and VF

oh Angelah, and also last month Reader Digest.
OK magazine has both on their cover as well.

Mr. and Mrs. Snit
Brad Pitt, whaddya so scared of, boyfriend? I pose this question in response to a recent request straight from Brad himself.
See, I was all set to watch Papa Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon dip their digits in cement at their hand- and footprint ceremony at Grauman’s and cover the star-studded Ocean’s Thirteen premiere Wednesday. I’d set it up with publicists a week before the actual event.
But then, on the very day of the aforementioned to-dos, a last-minute email arrived in my inbox, informing moi that E! Online wasn’t approved to cover either event by Brad. I thought maybe he read my little prediction that Angie was gonna eventually dump his primo butt, and he had gotten his feathered hairdo all ruffled, as a result.

However, it seems Brad didn’t just bitchily blackball the Awful Truth. “All weekly ‘tabloid’ magazines and gossip reporters were kept out,” dishes an in-the-know Biz type.
If everything is all rainbows and butterflies with Angie and the rest of the Jolie-Pitt bunch, as the beyond-gorgeous duo claims is the case, what’s B. so damn worried about? He should take a page out of Angie’s publicist-free book already and stop caring (and trying to control) what gets said. Won’t work, dude. Evah.Other boo-hoo biz: The big-toothed breeders didn’t stay for the screening of the movie or hit the after-party—which Ocean’s costars George, Matt and Ellen Barkin actually did stick around for.

Wonder what they were hurrying home to do? Blackball elsewhere? Or just ball? Darlings, please tell us it’s the latter!

No. Brad and Angie will have fun in the bath thub after they put the kids to bed. Got it now??? LOL!!!

#178, Oh come on you KNOW what I meant :-) But you are in shock of the latest news so you pick on a minor mistake by a fan. Sure, go ahead make fun of me I don’t care. But you are speechless NOW aren’t you and you are not alone. Jen and Huvane are in shock too. Just as they were celebrating that they were able to get a forgotten B lister in the limelight with a fabricated or exagerrated story, here comes the biggest bomb shell. Who is laughing now! The fans of course.

Too funny!!!! Ted C shouldn’t take it so hard. The power of BP. Mess with his woman and you have to deal with him. Who says that BP does not handle his own. Weekly tabs and Ted C be damn. BP has banned weekly tabs, excluding People, from much of his press events. Ted is not a investigative journalism, he should stick with the smut he is use to and leave the big boys along. Too funny indeed.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

I knew something was up. Ted and his ilk think they can do and say anything they want about people and get rewarded for it.

I glad someone finally shove the crap they have been dishing up his and others arses!

And if Ted is so much in the know, why didn’t he know about Angie attending a special screening of AMH in LA? And that Brad wanted to get back their to support her.

Teddy boy magic eight ball is broken and he has nothing!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ANGIE for becoming a member of the Council for Foreign Relations. I am so proud of you, you are amazing woman. WAY TO Go ANGIE

Hiya Estelle, I just missed you, have a good dinner and talk to you later

Simplybrad.com has scans of the OK magazine exclusive Cannes hot bash, “Not on our Watch” fundraiser. Very nice pictures and article. I can tell that they paid a lot of money for the exclusive because it seems that their entire staff is in the photos with the Ocean gang. The gang seem like they had a fun time. Matt D even gave his wife a kiss in one of the pictures. Ah!!! love is in the air.

LOOK! There was a poll you loons forgot to flood!

Access Hollywood poll:

Who’s the sexiest on Ocean’s 11
Damon - 40%
Clooney- 37%
A N D
omg,no

Pitt - 13%

jared has a new thread for angie.

what happened to Angie wrapping Brad up in love to get him to quit smoking?
Come on Angie you can do better than that.

Get real…Getting “wrapped up in Angie’s love” for trying to quit is a reason to continue! HELLO! The more he smokes..the more she wraps. It’s win-win for Brad!

As much as I enjoyed the Peter Travers’ review and his saying how good Brad is in the movie…I refuse to pay money to see Porgie. Everybody’s got a line they won’t cross…mine is the “I Refuse To Pay Money To See Porgie or X” line.

DiPandi showed no respect to Bernie Mac. She only talked to him because George left him up there and she didn’t know what to say, Bernie carried the interview. She didn’t ask about his character, was he sad that this was the last Ocean’s, any new projects, nothing.

I loved that Don seem to think she was a joke. She asked stupid questions, loved when Don took the Mike from her. My favorite part of that interview was when she said something about how handsome they all were and Don said “soak it in ” and he and Matt laughed at her stupid ass. Did you notice Don whispered something about her to Matt on the way up the platform and did it again as they were leaving the platform and they laughed both times. You could tell Don thought she was a complete idiot.

Brad totally blew her off. I loved it. He gave her nothing when she tried to ask about Angie’s birthday.

Congratulations Angie.
Ignore the homophobic idiots.
Any one who reviews this film for something that it isn’t is an idiot. The Ocean films have always been breezy fun. They aren’t supposed to be serious drama. You want that go to see A Mighty Heart instead:) I will of course see both.

Ted is an ass. Maybe Brad just doesn’t feel generous to the network whose employees broke in his house.

181 Ted is pissed at Brad | 06/07/2007 at 8:53 pm

Mr. and Mrs. Snit

However, it seems Brad didn’t just bitchily blackball the Awful Truth. “All weekly ‘tabloid’ magazines and gossip reporters were kept out,” dishes an in-the-know Biz type.

++++++++++++++

ROTFLMAO! Way to go Brad! Does Ted not get it? If the tabs aren’t allowed in…then they can’t give a firsthand account of anything and their stories are chocked even more full of “a friend,” “a pal,” and “an insider” says baloney.

Also, Ted has obviously forgotten about E!’s little intrusion onto Brad’s property while they were in India AND Ryan Gaycrest’s little GG snit fit. Good for Brad that he probably hasn’t forgotten either of those things and and refuses to let E! make any money off his legitimate work when they lie about his private life so damned much. It’s too bad that more celebs who have the power of media approval don’t refuse to allow them in. Maybe then the tabs would get the hint that telling truth in their stories will get them more cooperation for the celebs than all the BS they make up.

204 busybee | 06/07/2007 at 9:10 pm
Brad has been hinting at being bi for along time. Quotes like this, things like the photo spread he insisted on doing in a dress!! Hello?!?
What is the big deal? You fans should be happy he finally found someone who lets him express his whole sexuality. What do you think the comment about Angie being ‘’kinda into it’’ meant? Angie has admitted to being bi that’s why Brad knew she would understand his needs.
I personally think they have an open relationship.
You fangirls shouldn’t like him any less because he’s attracted to men too.

=================
I thought this was pretty well known too.
Why are so many freaking out.

They are so funny! Great interview!

George is hilarious as always~

I’m really loving this. The haters are losing theirs minds. We had really 4 or 5 great weeks with brad and Angie sexy splash in Cannes, they looking more in love then ever on the premiere of oceans13, and we still have one more premiere to go. Angie and Brad giving loving interviews, Angie putting on weight, Angie saying she had a very romantic birtyday, Brad saying they plan to take a vacation for the summer, Brad and Angie taking the next year off, problaly to have another baby. Angie saying thet she and Brad plan to spend theirs latters years together.
It must be a really hard time for the haters, Just imagine, the fools, actually believe the rags 3 months ago when they said that Brad and Angie break up. Now even the tabloids change their tune.

(Flag This)

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love the part where Brad is talking about their upcoming Coen brother’s project and is like,

PITT: [Laughs] I said to them, ”I don’t know how to play this, I mean, he’s such an idiot.” And there was a pause and then Joel goes…
TOGETHER: You’ll be fine! [Laughter]

too funny :D

guys,

here’s my O13 L.A. PREMIERE [only Brad and Angie] footage

181 Ted is pissed at Brad | 06/07/2007 at 8:53 pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hmmm… I wonder what E’s stance on Paris’ early release. After all, except for intellectual midgets/defense attorneys, the vast majority believes that she did not pay for her thoughtless, reckless behavior. I suppose that they will remain silent and condone/promote her bad behavior since Paris is their moneymaker.

Now, I’ve always err on the side of their ignoring the nastiness and innuendo directed toward them; however, if these tabs are going to rely on ’sources’, ‘insiders’, etc., then being within the vicinity of the actual celebrity is unnecessary. Let an ‘insider’ give a blow-by-blow of the proceedings; meanwhile, the rest of us can get some insight from YouTube videos, broadcasts, actual witness accounts, etc.

This could be a lesson for the tabs and for the J-P children. While you can’t control what people say or think about you, you don’t have to allow these people in your house, even if, on a particular day, they decide to behave themselves.

It’s kind of refreshing that Ted didn’t pawn this off on Angelina; tabloids seem to think that she’s the puppetmaster. Whatever the motivation - the trespassing, the abyssmal behavior of the E correspondents at the GG red carpet, the use of questionable quotes, allegedly made by James, the dissection of the ‘blob’ comment, the invasion of their privacy in the wake of Marcheline’s death and Pax’s adoption, the Madonna adoption, and the many big things and little things that the tabs, E included, have done, it couldn’t happen to a lousier lot!

Hey TP - You’d be desperate, too, if you just punk’d People mag into reporting you’re having a hot affair with a paid gay escort/male model/gay porn actor…and then calling US to deny the story. Beeyotch is sweatin’ bullets and now she’s trying to deflect attention from her snafus by saying Brad’s gay. Well, if Brad’s gay, then it would certainly explain how he ended up married to X. A man would have to be off the cooch totally to marry that fugly wench.

It’s kind of refreshing that Ted didn’t pawn this off on Angelina; tabloids seem to think that she’s the puppetmaster.

++++++++++++

Piper, Ted C has always maintained that Brad is very media savvy. For a long time the thought all of the gamemanship in the marriage to X was coming from Brad, but gradually he realized a lot of it was X’s doing. He does know though that Brad has no problem using his power to ban the tabloid media from events he doesn’t want them covering. Frankly Ted should’ve expected it. Angie may not care what the tabs think of her, but it doesn’t mean she has to like the fact that they distort everything she says and does. To my mind Brad has the right idea - if they can’t cover it, then whatever they print has to be second-hand and sooner or later the public will catch onto the fact that nothing is ever a first-hand account of an event. The public’s slow, but they get there eventually.

hey briseis,
tawagan mo nga ako kong me oras ka.
thanks

It is so sad that all you can do is accuse me of being a fan of Aniston. Open your narrow little mind.
I could care less if Aniston is gay or bi. She probably is bi. The majority of Hollywood is and that includes Brad and Angie.
Brad being bi shouldn’t change the way you feel about him. Just accept it and stop trying to twist everything into being about Aniston.

Nice review of O13 in The New York Times:

MOVIE REVIEW | ‘OCEAN’S THIRTEEN’
They Always Come Out Ahead; Bet on It
By MANOHLA DARGIS

Ah, bliss, the gang’s all here, well, the guys anyway, looking fighting trim and Hollywood beautiful, at your disposable pleasure as well as mine. There’s George, of course, as in Mr. Clooney, lovely and lean and a touch more gray, smiling and gliding his way through the shimmer and gleam. Brad, henceforth known as Pitt the Elder, looks a wee tired around the eyes, like a baby-bottle warmer on 3 a.m. call, while Matt Damon looks handsomer, somehow more adult, now that he has a lucrative action franchise to call his own. The third time really is a charm.

“Ocean’s 23,” oops, “Ocean’s Thirteen,” is also a gas; it’s lighter than air, prettier than life, a romp, a goof and an attentively oiled machine. Our master of ceremonies, Steven Soderbergh, having come down the mountain of his own grandiose ambitions (more on that later), is working it hard here and working it very well. The screenplay, from the new team members Brian Koppelman and David Levien, moves fast and makes you laugh, partly because the elaborate plot often makes no seeming sense. But sense can be awfully overrated at times, particularly with an enterprise like this, which pushes at the limits of conventional narrative filmmaking, forcing your attention away from the story’s logical bricks and mortar toward its fields of dancing colors and a style that is its content.

This third time around, Mr. Clooney’s Danny Ocean has returned to Las Vegas to bail out his old buddy and former mentor Reuben (Elliott Gould as the spirit of 1970s cinema idiosyncrasy), who has recently been taken for a pricey ride down chump avenue by a Vegas villain named, nicely, nicely, Runyon-style, Willy Bank. Played by a tamped-down, amused and amusing Al Pacino, Willy Bank is a pint-size Trump in oversize eyeglasses and a burnt-orange tan that makes him look like an Hermès handbag, especially when he’s keeping company with his second-in-command, Abigail Sponder (Ellen Barkin, ropy, ripe and oh-so-ready). Mr. Pacino and Ms. Barkin, who once steamed up the screen together in the 1989 thriller “Sea of Love,” sweeten the pot without making it boil.

But that’s how everything rolls in Mr. Soderbergh’s Vegas: smoothly and sleekly and low to the ground, without obvious effort and, most important, without ugliness. America’s playground has never looked more glamorous and seductive than it does in the first and most recent “Ocean’s”; it’s no wonder the casinos play along with whatever nonsense Mr. Soderbergh puts into gear, whether it’s a blackout (as in the first film) or an absurdly contrived disaster (the third). When Danny Ocean and his Boy Friday, Rusty Ryan (Mr. Pitt), stroll across a casino floor, you never see the cigarette burns on the carpeting or the middle-aged men quietly weeping after the night and their savings are long gone. When they’re in town, the promise of Vegas burns as bright as the city’s gaudy lights.

That promise may be a lie, but because all three “Ocean’s” are also self-consciously about the smoke and mirrors and glamour of movies — their elaborate cons can sound a lot like film-financing schemes — it is the kind of lie that nurtures and sustains. These movies bewitch precisely because they exist outside the prison house of realism that Mr. Soderbergh sometimes seems overly anxious to lock himself — and his audiences — into, as witness his unfortunately punishing last effort, “The Good German.” In the “Ocean’s” trilogy, you enter an enchanted realm where Mr. Clooney and Mr. Pitt are the world’s loveliest, luckiest hucksters and sparring partners, heirs to Paul Newman and Robert Redford in “The Sting,” as well as to Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in “His Girl Friday.”

You also enter a world of visual enchantments. Working under the name Peter Andrews, Mr. Soderbergh again shows what an exceptional cinematographer he can be, whether shooting on celluloid or in video, with a particular sensitivity to the narrative and graphical uses of color. Many of the casino scenes in this “Ocean’s” look as softly burnished as gold ingots, as if they had been dipped in a 24-karat finishing bath. Perhaps in homage to the mid-1960s Jean-Luc Godard or just because the results look so extraordinary, Mr. Soderbergh occasionally saturates the image with an iridescent red that makes everything inside the frame look as if it were gently vibrating. At other times, he floods the image with a piercing blue that summons up twilight on the Côte d’Azur.

We are a long way from sundown on the Strip and much of contemporary Hollywood too, and so much the better. One of the most creatively restless filmmakers working the studio system today, Mr. Soderbergh has for a number of years divided his time and energy between expensive, star-studded productions like the “Ocean’s” films and smaller projects like “Bubble” (shot in high-definition digital without professional actors). With any other director, the tendency would be to classify the smaller, cheaper films as personal and the bigger, costlier ventures as strictly professional, pounds of flesh that an artist like Mr. Soderbergh must forfeit for experiments (and box office flops) like “The Good German” and his touching, unloved remake of Andrei Tarkovsky’s “Solaris.”

Yet to watch Mr. Clooney, Mr. Pitt and Mr. Damon in the “Ocean’s” films, along with those other merry men — Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia, Bernie Mac, Carl Reiner, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Eddie Jemison and Shaobo Qin — is to realize that it’s a mistake to separate Mr. Soderbergh’s personal visions from his professional commitments. All the films are strictly personal; it is just that some, like “The Good German,” have been made more for Mr. Soderbergh’s pleasure than for ours. Part of what makes the “Ocean’s” films, even the self-indulgent second installment, so enjoyable is that they’re not only about Mr. Soderbergh’s obsessive aesthetic investment in every single shot, but they’re also about him trying to make the audience love his images every bit as much as he does.

This isn’t about compromise; it’s about locating that sweet spot between the work of art and the audience, and turning a private reverie into a public expression. One of the truths about Mr. Soderbergh is that while his heart and head seem to lean toward more rarefied film practices, evidenced by his (improved) remake of an art-house heavyweight like “Solaris” and his aggressively anti-aesthetic exercise like “Bubble,” he has over the years also mastered classic Hollywood techniques brilliantly. Playing inside the box and out, he has learned to go against the grain while also going with the flow. In “Ocean’s Thirteen” he proves that in spades by using color like Kandinsky and hanging a funny mustache on Mr. Clooney’s luscious mug, having become a genius of the system he so often resists.

“Ocean’s Thirteen” is rated PG-13. (Parents strongly cautioned.) Gambling looks mighty fun in this film, as does larceny.

I’m curious what you think of the state of the male movie star in Hollywood right now.

PITT: I’m actually a woman trapped in a man’s body. We’re going to be doing something about that soon.

Is Angelina aware of this?
PITT: Yeah, she’s all for it. Kinda into it, actually.

That ’s a hilarious and cute interview. and we know how close this two guys is !

Stop bitching Brad’s life is not harder, his life is not hard at all !!!!!

Jeez

Brad looks very gay in that pic. Funny how every other good looking man is GAY according to the hags, but Brad does not fit in that sterotype. Does that mean he is not good looking or that the hags are just hypocrites? Hmmmm?!

How many names you have BCBG / Chiniqua?

Using rule no.6 using the mentally challenged as an insult … classis hater behavior!

6) Claim they have no life and are worthless and truly a waste of space. Even though all of you have turned yourselves over body, mind and purpose to the cult. If they are still pushing back and not slipping into the worship coma, throw all of the above at them. But these times insult them with the stigma of being mentally challenged and/or disable (****** even tho that word is not PC who cares!). That is the worst to be called in perfect Shallow world (but B&A fans are completely shallow is, shallow is good) so be sure to throw all of that them, the more shallow you are like us, the better.

they actually think they are funny and smart. Funny that.

I AM SO HAPPY FOR ANGELINA ( CONGRATULATIONS SWEETHEART)I AM SO PROUD OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS ANGELINA DOES IN HER LIFE.A LOT OF GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO HER BECAUSE OF ALL THE GOOD WORK, SHE DOES. ALSO TO EASE THE SUFFERING OF A LOT OF PEOPLE.AND PLUS ALL THE LOVE SHE GIVES TO ALL LITTLE KIDS.GOD IS GONNA GIVE HER A LOT OF BLESSINGS.THE JOLIE-PITTS, YOU ARE LOVED DEARLY BY YOUR FANS.JO-ANN OKLAHOMA
