Brad & Angelina - “A Mighty Heart” After Party

‘If a wicked person brings you some news, investigate it’ (Al-Hujurat: 6).

Usually a person hears truth and lies, so if he speaks of everything that he hears, he is lying by telling of things that did not happen, and lying by speaking of something other than the way it happened; and he does not have to do that deliberately (in order to be regarded as telling lies.

truth stands put clear from error.” (Al-Baqarah: 256

Kudos for Paramount vantage for taking the high road and giving notice to all that this important film should be the film. No tabloid stuff. Those who refused to agree were not doing it on principle but because they all know they wanted to ask Angelina what it’s like to kiss Brad Pitt. If that quote from the rep from Doctors without Broders is true, then he’s an idiot. The paparassi are not considered press. Only credentialed photographers with completed background checks are press. These people should be allowed to do their job. Does Reporter Without Borders mean reporters who act without boundaries including breaking into people’s homes, running people over for a story, stealing, peeping onto children’s school and schoolgrounds, then down with that organization.

Paparazzi have no business trying to take business from legit photojournalists. Do you all know what Paparazzi means in Italian? This phrase was deveeloped during the Hollywood Italian heyday with the whole la Dloce Vita era of film with director Fellini. It means annoying little buzzing bugs. How could a legit reporter consider himself like one? Amazing!
====================

Great post, Frenchy. I noticed they put the word “paparazzi” in the guy’s mouth too. I doubt that as the head of Reporters Without Borders, he would use the word “paparazzi” to talk about his colleagues.

From Lainey:

Worthy to note however – spoke to a source this morning about the issue who told me that what’s laughable about wrangling and the maneuvering, as easy as it is to lay it on Angelina as a control freak, is that people very much underestimate Brad Pitt. Rumour has it, the Pitts themselves refer to it as the “misogyny of our society” in that he is constantly portrayed as the abandoned spouse left to look after the babes as she schemes to keep her enemies at a distance - ridiculous because it’s always been Brad who has been the media engineer, and prior to their hook up, Angelina Jolie’s approach was always, always easy access, open door, no publicists, and candid answers no matter how controversial. In observing their public portrayal however, especially when critics are circling hungrily, Brad always gets an easy pass and the blame always falls to Angelina.

Full of **** or something to consider?

Thank you for posting it again. I saw it last night but couldn’t find it today/ That is so cute.

It’s a little unclear how Mariane Pearl, whom Jolie plays in “A Mighty Heart,” feels about her portrayer’s position on freedom of press for some, but not all. Yesterday, I spoke to Jeff Julliard, the editorial director of Reporters without Borders in Paris.

“Paparazzi should be allowed to do their job,” he said, adding that he condemned Jolie’s banning of FOX News and actions taken on her behalf in Namibia.
=========================

That was part of that Fox news article regarding the editorial director of RWB. He called legitimate reporters who risk their lives to cover news in dangerous places, “paparazzi”? Well, I am sure his fellow “paparazzi” will be really flattered by that appellation.

Pitt Porn in NYC

Well…not quite. His mother was there – good to know even the horny Pitts have a sense of propriety around the parents, which accounts for the limited ass holding last night at the NYC premiere of A Mighty Heart. I’m told Mrs Pitt seemed very fond of the mother of her grandchildren, was joined by Brad’s sister and Angelina’s brother and all seemed surprisingly familial given tabloid reports of family estrangement after Aniston.

As for Angelina’s dress – everyone is losing their **** because it was $26 purchased from a vintage shoppe in LA: chic on a budget paired with crystal Louboutins. Whatever. Kinda underwhelming if you ask me, but this is Angelina Jolie… it’s not like it’s ever bad, you know what I mean?

Stilll…as much as I’m a fan of Family Pitt Jungle Sex, I have also been a huge admirer of the way they sell it. Savvy spin like no one else in the business, a press machine helmed by two of the hottest, most intriguing stars in recent memory. Most of the time they succeed beautifully. On occasion…not so much.

Cut to last night, Pitt publicity gone awry, at least according to Fox News – not the most unbiased source, mind you, but nonetheless, Roger Friedman the entertainment editor has had a few greatest hits, namely his audacious challenge to the GMD, the RoboBride, and the sinister Church, and unfortunately for Team Pitt, this time he’s chosen to expose the Pitt press machine in a scathing article about Angelina’s hypocrisy towards the media.

Last night’s premiere of A Mighty Heart – as you know a film about Mariane Pearl coping with the kidnapping and subsequent murder of her husband and Wall Street Journal Reporter Daniel Pearl – was meant to raise awareness for an organisation called Reporters Without Borders. During the junket however, Angelina’s lawyer apparently required all journalists to sign contracts prohibiting them not only from asking personal questions but also from writing about the interview “in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning, or derogatory to Ms. Jolie.”

WTF???

Needless to say, the AP and USA Today took off, incensed at the censorship attempt and entirely unimpressed that a Hollywood movie star hawking a movie about journalistic liberties had the temerity to dictate orders to the press. Hard to argue with that…and trust me, I’ve been in a junket situation, I’ve been on the red carpet. Most of time, a publicist will just come in, give his/her warning, tell you what’s off limits, and everyone follows suit. On the rare occasion that someone steps out of line, all the celebrity has to say is: No comment. Or that’s not an appropriate question for me to answer. Her publicist gives the journalist a cold stare, and they move on.

As such, military tactics like these are not only unnecessary, they’re embarrassing. And for a couple having to deal with tabloid fallacies every week, for a couple whose chemistry is so convincingly magnetic, for a couple that has managed to capture worldwide fascination and obsession, going to these lengths only undermines the power of the Jungle Sex.

Clearly not well played…hypocrisy indeed.

Some people are really stupid ! freedom of speech does belong to anyone including to Angie.

This is not a banana republic. She has used her right to not be questioned about certain things related to HERSELF and her personal LIFE. that’s her prerogative, that’s the core of freedom of speech !

She even was gracious enough to offer a conscensus and compromise which is to agree to reply to some of the questions limited to a certain matter. They have refused and dismiss her fundamental right to do so, that’s their prerogative too ! They have noone to blame, it’s democracy !

What do you exepect ? That some dictotarship body as the press could just be the ONLY ONE whose offered that freedom of speech and not the other party involved ? That they are the only one that can DIRECT, DICTATE what they WANT TO GET from a PERSON who cannot use her rights to refuse or to choose to what she will reply ?

Freedom is never total as it ends where the freedom of the other begins.

Hell freedom of speech has its limits even in the US…a certain spy whose name was leaked by the press is suing some people in Washington for that ! But hell yeah, it’s freedom of speech for some, so it’s right, so let’s just give the press the green light, the right to insult anyone, to talk about anyone with no balance at all, to leak any federal dirty secrets, ect.. !

How nice of Brad’s mom to be at the Premier Night of A Mighty Heart to lend her support to Brad and Angie.

Brad’s mom must be very happy for Angie is a heaven sent to her son. Now she has 4 lovely grandchildren from Brad.

Angie is so full love and praises for her son. Unlike the x who willingly stabbed her son at the back (through the use of her friends).

I am sure Jane will never forget the Vanity Fair interview. After perhaps reading RD, MC, Esquire and Parade, she must be thinking that Angie is truly heaven sent.

Bad call.

the woman is Brad Mum just check at her picture when she was in NO taking care of the children also the picture of her in Namibian she and Brad Dad.

I know you don’t like Jolie but that is Brad mum even access Hollywood also says that Pitt Mum, Sister and James Jolie brother are their in NYC with them.

you says that we fan “are so fanatics that we only see what we want to see”. Same thing go to you that are non fan, hater, etc you only see the bad thing but not the good.

That is the real fact hater will never see anything good with the Brangelina likewise fan will never see anything bad. Take it or leave it.

But that woman is BRAD PITT MUM EITHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT BECAUSE IN YOUR OWN MIND YOU THOUGHT ELDER PITT DON’T LIKE HER.

ciao

Funny thing, I did a ggogle search on Jeff Juillard, didn’t find anything. I went to the Reporter Without Borders site and searched for his name, there is nothing on it.

Good for Angie, i hope this keeps the ball rolling, it’s about time someone started a
move to put a muzzle on the so call freedom
of speech press.. the only thing she ask them
to do is stick to the scrip..i hope other
celebrities follow suit..Fox response was like
a cry baby, crying vengeful tears.
If you come to cover the film and you are
professionals, why blow a cap about not being
able to get up in Angie’s cool-aid, it’s plain to see who the hypocrites are.
Angie is a intelligent women, her and Brad have
been doing this for a long time, and are up
on their game.
Those who bailed out..good if you can’t stand
the heat..hey there will never be a media
shortage. Next!!

A few things about film premieres: The popcorn and soda are free, and the stars almost always sneak out after the introductory remarks (by directors, producers, French people). But when the stars in question are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — as they were last night at the Ziegfeld, for the premiere of the Danny Pearl film A Mighty Heart — the sneak-out becomes a half-hushed spectacle of its own. Awkward! Earlier, on arrival, they’d been much more overt, showing up in a black SUV and signing autographs and shaking hands before prowling the red carpet. Yes, they’re eye-bleedingly attractive, even if she needs a cupcake and he a nap. And, no, they wouldn’t talk to any print reporters. At the after-party — after the somber screening, everybody needed a pick-me-up, and the opulent, ornate, very un-Karachi-like Metropolitan Club was the spot — Brangelina were hugging, chatting, and eating sushi with folks like Mariane Pearl, Kimora Lee Simmons, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Norton, and Jeremy Piven. The reporters still weren’t allowed to approach the king and queen of the prom, which underscored how much it felt like high school. This time, though, it was pleasant enough to stare at the Ultimate Popular Kids from the shadows while chugging champagne and petits fours. Life’s tough. —Justin Ravitz
