Brad Shoots Softbank — Take Three!
Brad’s back!!
After dropping the kids off at school in the morning, Brad Pitt was back on the set of Softbank, a Japanese telecommunications company, in Prague, Czech Republic.
The father-of-four filmed the third segment of a commercial for Softbank’s latest cell phone model dressed in a snappy white suit. (The first segment was a gray suit and the second segment was a black suit.)
The scene of the commercial involved everyone dressed in white playing soccer — nuns, body builders, and a large group of children. It doesn’t look like a typical soccer match since Brad is touching the soccer ball with his hands but he does get more and more involved as the commercial goes on. In the pictures, you can also see lots of white buttondown shirts hanging from clotheslines.
Shoud be an interesting cell phone commercial… 10+ pictures inside…

famous is back with his ticks again. maybe he needs to see a vet.
I was comparing AMH with Capote (Philip Seymour Hoffman got the Oscar for this movie) and Capote openned with $2,291,075, $1,849 average. Ended with $28,750,530 domestic and $20,482,631 foreign. AMH will do great in the end, because the reviews are very very good and it’s a important history
11: Agree, no matter what he is wearing he looks hot!!.
I miss Shi, I would love to see some pics of Shiloh…
Brad in Tyler Durden’s style
The suit looks exactly like the one he used in cannes to do promo of oceans 13. I didn’t know he had to take his own clothes to the commercial.
These two are the hardest working movie stars NOT in HW!

Dan Futterman discusses AMH and working with Angelina Jolie.
INTERVIEW: Dan Futterman on “A Mighty Heart”
POSTED 06/23/2007 AT 7:19 PM ET
Dan Futterman, who won an Oscar nomination for his screenplay for “Capote,” stars as Daniel in the Michael Winterbottom-directed film. We spoke to him recently at a press day to ask him about taking on such a heavy role.
Q: Being a writer in addition to an actor, were there instances where you wanted to write things for the script or make your own changes?
DAN: When I had met with Michael initially I had read John Orloff’s script and I thought it was fantastic. He talked about a couple of things he was going to work on. I didn’t see much of a need for it. It was in his mind to do. I had very little to say about changing the script. I thought it was terrific. We did do some improvisation but you’re working with this terrific foundation. It’s a script that assimilates so much information about that part of the world, the particular situation and this relationship that Daniel and Marianne had. So you feel really supported with that and you return to the script after the improvisation.
Q: What were your impressions of Angelina Jolie?
DAN: I think she’s truly one of my generation’s great, great actors. I had a chance to see my friend Phil Hoffman perform up close a few years ago and you think, “O.K. I’ve had that experience. I can write that one down and tell it to my kids.” Two years later, I’m working with someone who’s giving a scene an utter transformational, beautifully emotional performance. She’s incredibly smart and finely tuned. I was completely knocked out by her. With her, it seems like it’s the easiest thing in the world. She’s improvising, she’s doing an accent that’s not her own and she’s comfortable as can be. You cannot dare her to do anything she’s not willing to do. She’s just utterly and completely a pleasure to work with.

Thanks Frenchy for that interview!
Brad: “Sure, I’ll do the commercial. But you gotta film me in India, Prague - wherever my family is ’cause that’s where I’ll be!”

I have mixed emotions about that. On one hand, VV’s rank went down in my book when he sued the British tabs about his cheating with another woman; on the other hand, the tabs here are getting out of hand. And while I totally got why someone like Carol Burnett sued the tabs for a story similar to Jesse Metcalfe’s, I’m not so sure if his really has weight. False stories can damage a career, but what ‘career’ does Metcalfe have? Has he done anything lately besides exit rehab?
I just think that many other stars have greater cause to sue; but then again, if he has a lawyer, he can do whatever he wants, I guess.
The life of this whole family outside the privacy of their hotels, planes and homes is one big commercial (oh to be a fly on the wall) - Everything is staged for the paps - one big commercial shoot. Thier lives as we see them are not reality - it is Brangellywood.
Thanks for the pictures Just Jared. BP and AJ work hard for the money. They are also good people that give back. Not many celebrites can say the same. Whether you think it is a photo op or paps tracking their every move, they are living their lives, taking care of their family and earning their pay. At the end of the day, they go home to 4 loving, loud and happy children. This commerical is turning into a 3 part epic. It will be interesting and fun to see it. Best wishes to BAMPZS and peace to all.
Hiya JOANN, i’m from Tulsa

It is right on target with other Indie movies. After Babel’s first opening weekend it went down by 63% the following Monday and another 35% the following Tuesday. Not a lot of people go to movies the beginning of a work week. Babel started gaining by 43% on Wednesday and went on to have a more productive weekend than its opening weekend earning $919,235 in comparison to its opening weekend of $389,351. Then of course went on to make $34 mill domestically and $135 mill total. So, actually AMH is right on target. It should go down at least another 35% tomorrow and then start gaining speed on Wednesday for the weekend.
41 serious
A Big DUH! Because they are followed by the paps.
You don’t see the intimate times of the family just the public outings. Do you want them to never leave the house?
Thanks Maria for posting this.
Mark Millar has made a report of his trip to the set of Wanted
He say’s nice things anout Angelina:
Angelina was shooting the main day I was on the set and could not have been more friendly. It was weird meeting here after seeing her face on the cover of almost every magazine in the airport, but she’s very easy-going, super-smart and pretty hot too. She can engage about everything from Henry Kissinger to British comedies and has a huge DVD collection, her impression of Little Britain’s chav teenager being a jaw-dropper as it’s the last thing I expected to come out of her mouth. Got on very well with her and she seemed into the material so all looking good.

For those who aren’t familiar with Vicky Pollard I found a clip on youtube.

Can you imagine Angie doing this impression.
‘Yeah but, no but, yeah…’ :lol:
Hubba-hubba! Brad can I take you home! Great dad and great money maker and great companion! Love this man. It is amazing, never paid this much attention to him until he got with Angie! I looked throught all the posts and Angie and Brad had the most comments! These too are so loved! Even the haters love them or they would not read about them. The bet Jen out hands down!
whoa!!!! I need some coffee, I thought the title said Brad shoots blanks! Course we know that isnt true..thanks to little Shi.
#41 serious- you are seriously a tool. what do you think they are doing, “let’s take the kids to school so we can be photographed”? they seem to be genuine and hands-on. jealous much?
Would love to see Angie and Brad in a commercial together. Now that would be hot!!!! Saw where Brad took Mad out for ice cream! Those two have a close bound. After all it was Mad that first called Brad Dad that made Angie and Brad realize that they had a relationship. Love those two together!
Is it just me but do these pictures of Brad remind anyone of that episode of Friends where Joey did the Japanese commerical for lipstick for men?
Paris Hilton is too much…
From PEOPLE
Later in the day, two Taco Bell reps arrived at the mansion and announced they had a delivery of four bags of food from Paris to the media. They then handed out taquitos and chips to everyone, including police officers.

Would someone mind posting the link to the video on Splash please? I’m having trouble opening it but it always works when someone posts it here :-) Thanks!
#16: Frenchy, isn’t that also the release date for Matt’s Bourne movie? What about Beawulf? That’s September too. Man, if they’re all out at the same time, fans are going to have to live in the theaters for the whole day!
Brad is one sexy man. It is too bad that he does not do commercials that air in the US.
He’s gorgeous!!!!!!!!No mater what he wears or what color!Lucky Angelina.
I think Matt’s movie is being released some time in August. August 6 I believe.
#41: and you’re buying it big time. See, you can’t stay away. You’ve gotta opine, lurk and follow the whole kit and kaboodle. You contribute to their coffer whether you like it or not so if you really don’t like them, stay away!
But you guys can’t, can you? You’re addicted to their presence, look for them in their absence and sniff around the fans for some whiff of news…any news! Funnyyyyy!!!

3 August is the release date for “Bourne”
Has any of you seen Brad in person? I heard a report said when she met Brad in person, Brad’s beauty took her breath away. Damn it, I never see him in person. Sometday I will.
he is so coooool.
Wow Brad and Angelina doing a commercial together is a great idea! (GENA)Who will watch the kiddies?
he is just hoooooooooooottttttttttttttt.
His Gorgeousness Mr. Brad Pitt.
love the hair awesome
nicccee pics… love it
angelina is very lucky….@@
#40: other stars should be more like the Becks, the Douglases and the Cruises. Re Posh, they said she was rude and mean to her crew. She got an apology and a settlement to boot. If they keep suing, others would not hesitate to follow suit (plus it’s free publicity). The tabs will be more careful and might even do research instead of relying on blogs for gossip or news.
Brittany Murphy was able to get a clearing up and an apology from a blind item that TC posted. He got egg in the face for that one.
Same with non-fans that come to JJ’s just to spread their slime. We should start forwarding their nasty items to TPTB so they can get a heads up early. Don’t have JJ just delete it, copy it and save for a rainy day.
nice photos. brad’s hottt..very hotttttttt…..
I love to see them again in the movie & commercial together & why not with their 4 bundle of joy? That will be soooo nice.
hotttttt
Everybody can look good in black somehow, someway but white…. You have to be Brad to look so good in white.
i hope he retires with his mate and I never have to see their aging ugly faces ever again.

THANKS for postig this info!! The film A Mighty Heart is doing and will continue to be doing GREAT for a indie film!! But the haters are trying to convince themselves the opposite; because they think Angelina “stole” this role from their idol!! And all of this… is thanks to Maniston for NOT denying this rumor!! This is one of the many many many reasons i don’t like her!!
awesome pics..
nice pics!!
lol @ 81, it’s obvious that you seek for their ugly faces coz you’re here! no dur:roll:
Nice man. And sexy too.
#82: Just keep posting that pic of the X with the curls and let her fans see what their idol would look like as MP. Someone should photoshop her face with the wig, the big tummy and the complete costume so they’ll have a better perspective. That should shut them up quick!
why, oh why didn’t PH do that before? He’d get so many hits and maybe even get on TV for that one!

But you are here on their thread, take time out posting…..interesting indeed.
Oh, thanks to Peaches and good grief for the replies. I asked because I thought that’s what they showed on the Reelzchannel or was it E! when they showed Matt in his Bourne movie. Wasn’t paying too much attention, sorry.
Thanks Jared! You are totally spoiling us, but I’m just loving it.
Brad can be so boyishly sexy, as in these ads, and then he can be so ruggedly sexy, as in those pixs in the hard hat and jeans when he was helping out Jimmy Carter in India…..better wipe the drool off my face here.

‘WSJ’ Editors Call ‘A Mighty Heart’ Fair and Accurate
Marcus Brauchli
http://www.mediainfo.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003601970
By Joe Strupp
Published: June 21, 2007 11:40 AM ET
NEW YORK Two top Wall Street Journal editors said “A Mighty Heart,” the new film that depicts the brutal kidnapping and murder of Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, gives a fair and accurate portrayal of the paper. The film, starring Angelina Jolie as Pearl’s wife, Mariane, opens nationwide on Friday.
“It was an accurate portrayal of the Journal and I think the Journal’s people, like [then-foreign editor] John Bussey, who were deeply involved came off well as they should have,” said former managing editor Paul Steiger, who said he saw the movie recently in a private showing for Journal staffers. “I think Angelina Jolie captured Mariane very, very well.”
Steiger, who stepped down from the managing editor post last month after 16 years, was among those editors closely involved in the effort to find and free Pearl after his 2002 kidnapping in Pakistan. Pearl was later beheaded by kidnappers. Mariane Pearl, at the time, offered much praise, and some criticism, of the Journal’s performance.
“I think the Journal comes off very well in the movie, I don’t recall any negatives,” Steiger added. Managing Editor Marcus Brauchli, who took over for Steiger and was national editor at the time of Pearl’s death, also believed the film was fair. “I don’t feel that the Journal was portrayed badly in the film,” he said. “I think we were treated reasonably. Angelina Jolie did a good job of channeling Mariane.”
A former foreign correspondent who worked in the Middle East, Brauchli added that the film “is very evocative of Pakistan, the place and the time.”
An October 21, 2003 article in The Washington Post included the following passage, referring to Mariane Pearl: “As she sees it, the Journal has moved on, neglecting to pursue a journalistic investigation into the murders. During the trial of Saeed and three accomplices, the Journal did not send a representative to court. Mariane, nine months pregnant, attended, against the Journal’s advice. The trial was held in a prison.
“Brigitte Trafford, the Journal’s spokeswoman, says management was strongly advised by the consulate in Pakistan to keep a low profile during the trials to avoid the appearance that a powerful Western media outlet was prosecuting the case. Instead, she says, the Journal gave Mariane $10,000 toward legal fees. The lawyer she’d hired, a Pakistani national, charged $70,000.
“’They told me to trust the Pakistani justice system,’ Mariane says of the Journal. ‘That’s a joke. I was basically left alone [by the Journal]. The first worry was, How are we going to spend as little money as possible? … Danny was so loyal to them. … It was pretty vulgar. And I’m not a venal person.”
Byron Calame, a former 40-year Journal reporter and editor who served as deputy managing editor during the Pearl kidnapping, said he is not in a hurry to see the film because of the bad memories it brings back. “It is such a sad thing for me. My main job at the time was as liaison with his parents,” Calame, who recently left a job as New York Times public editor, said. “I consider it one of the most trying times of my life. I am leaning toward the idea that I don’t want to see it because it is so painful.”
Steiger also recalled the painful elements of the tragedy. “We had a reporter who was a terrific person, kidnapped and brutally murdered. It is a thing that years later we still mourn,” he said. “The Journal did all it could before and after, but it wasn’t enough to save Danny’s life.
“I have a mix of memories,” Steiger added. “Pride in Danny’s professionalism and courage and deep sadness at his death. It’s an emotional thing and always will be.”
Although he is not portrayed in the movie, Steiger said he talked several times with Michael Winterbottom, the writer/director, about the story, but called it “very limited…We talked to them about filming at the paper, but in the end, they decided to do it somewhere else.”
Riddle me this:
A woman promotes a product and is called a has been .
A man promotes a product and is called a wonderful hunk.
Another woman promotes a product and is called a saint.
Tell me. What is the difference between all of these people when it comes to people specifically insulting one when they put their name for a product? By the way, two of these people’s ads only show up in foreign countries. While one has the, audacity(is that what it should be called?) to do it in the U.S.A.
Please no hate. It was an innocent question. And, if you have any qualities in argument, completely irrefutable. At least, when it comes to real argument without emotion. Besides, I will not return.
P.S. All this hatred over movie stars. No wonder there is no way for the U.S. to have peace with the rest of the world.

“A Mighty Heart” (2007)
From Bridget Johnson,
Your Guide to Journalism.
Guide Rating -
5/5
The Bottom Line
“A Mighty Heart,” starring Angelina Jolie, adapts the memoir of Mariane Pearl, whose husband, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, was kidnapped and savagely murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002. While taking viewers through the heart-wrenching period from abduction to Pearl’s death, the movie also shows how Mariane, also a journalist, came to terms with her husband’s horrific death and refused to be overcome by bitterness.
Pros
Moving and powerful
Accurate in its details of the Pearl case
Realistic portrayals of all journalist characters
Fantastic performances
Great edge-of-your-seat direction and cinematography
Cons
Those unfamiliar with the story may get lost
Some may find it difficult to keep up with the film’s frenetic pace
Description
Rated R
Running time: 100 minutes
Based on Mariane Pearl’s book “A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of my Husband, Danny Pearl”
Directed by Michael Winterbottom
Production team includes Brad Pitt
Guide Review - “A Mighty Heart” (2007)
Both sides of the political aisle can — and have — gone into “A Mighty Heart” searching for elements that will prop up their preconceived viewpoints on terrorism. But as a journalist, one can only emerge from this film all-too-aware of the escalating dangers faced by our profession around the globe, as reporters are considered fair targets by those with a broad hatred of the West.
One of the most convincing scenes in “Heart” is near the beginning, when Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl (played by Dan Futterman), in Pakistan with his pregnant wife Mariane (also a journalist; played by Angelina Jolie), visits U.S. diplomatic security agent Randall Bennett (played by Will Patton) to ask whether his upcoming meeting with a shadowy contact is a wise idea. Pearl, we learn, is investigating links to “shoe bomber” Richard Reid, and he’s given the advice that most journalists have long believed: If you meet your contact in a public place, things should be OK.
They weren’t for Pearl, of course. He disappears into a car, and doesn’t show up for dinner that evening. Thus starts the frantic search for the reporter, and a balance of raw emotion and a journalist’s characteristic focused drive from Mariane. She and an Indian writers begin by plowing through Pearl’s e-mails, charting his contacts and the tangled web of their contacts on a write-wipe board.
Later in the movie, Pearl’s editor John Bussey (played by Denis O’Hare) arrives, giving one of the most raw and real journalist portrayals in the film as he vascillates from uncertainty to leadership to reading Mariane’s baby-advice book. When the team of journalists sees Pearl’s beheading video, it’s as real as it gets. (The WSJ said after the film’s release that it portrayed the newspaper fairly.)

Just Who Was Daniel Pearl?
New Film Raises Questions of Man vs. Myth
Gabriel Sanders | Wed. Jun 20, 2007
Asra Nomani should have loved “A Mighty Heart,” the new feature film about journalist Daniel Pearl’s abduction and murder in Pakistan five years ago.
Pearl’s onetime Wall Street Journal colleague was, after all, a consultant on the film and a central player in the story itself. It was her Karachi home that became the headquarters for the weeks-long search that forms the movie’s spine. But despite the fact that Nomani was given a say about a host of small details — right down to the kind of notebooks the film’s reporters used as props — the final product didn’t sit well with her.
“I just don’t believe in the movie and the mythology of its marketing and PR campaign,” she wrote to one of the producers. (Her e-mail was later reprinted on the Web site Gawker.com.) “As much as the talking points say that this movie is for Danny and that everyone made the movie for the right reasons, I don’t at all feel that it is for Danny or that noble intentions underl[ie] this movie.”
With A-list director Michael Winterbottom at its helm, and mega-watt star Angelina Jolie playing the role of Pearl’s six-months-pregnant wife, Mariane, “A Mighty Heart” is easily the biggest Pearl tribute to date, but it is hardly the first. In the years since Pearl was slain, countless awards, fellowships, lectures, dialogues and even musical compositions have been named for him — all, ostensibly, dedicated to furthering his legacy; all, presumably, “for Danny.” In the process, Pearl, like Alfred Dreyfus before him, has become a Jew who, because of a peculiar intersection of history and biography, has been transformed into something larger than himself: the stuff of myth, an icon. He has become infinitely meaningful — indeed, capable of representing conflicting meanings. He has been invoked as an ambassador of peace and a justification for war, a proud Jew and a humanist who saw beyond religious particularism, an ordinary man and a holy martyr. (In an unprecedented move, the Miami Holocaust Memorial recently added Pearl’s name to the 30,000 etched on its memorial wall — the first non-victim of the Shoah to be so remembered.)
Can a single person’s memory bear the weight of so much significance?
Those who knew Pearl have responded to his growing legacy in varying ways. For Nomani, the chasm between Pearl the man and Pearl the myth has become too great. For Mariane Pearl, whose memoir served as the basis for the new film, her husband’s memory is something that needs to be guarded against undue sanctification. And for Pearl’s father, Judea, arguably the chief custodian of his son’s legacy, the Daniel he knew and the Daniel of myth are, more often than not, of a piece.
Initially, Mariane Pearl did not want her book turned into a movie. “I just didn’t think it was right,” she recently told Newsweek. She worried that her husband would be made into “a saint.” In interviews, Mariane Pearl, herself a journalist, eschews the language of myth; she doesn’t speak of her husband’s “legacy.” “To me,” she told Newsweek, the film is “a story about Danny being held by extremely intolerant people, and yet we, in that house in Pakistan — Christian, Hindu, Jew, Buddhist, Muslim — came together to find him.”
In her book, too, Mariane Pearl’s focus is on the concrete. Her husband emerges not as larger than life but as flesh and blood. “Danny goes to the most unexpected hairstylists,” she writes, poignantly using the present tense. “The more picturesque the barbershop, the happier Danny is. Most of the time the barbers don’t speak English, but this way one is always assured of a surprising result. This is Danny’s way of facing the world: with trust.”
Mariane Pearl’s approach to her husband’s memory has, in subtle but unmistakable ways, been different from that of Pearl’s parents. In addition to her memoir, she wrote the preface to a collection of his Wall Street Journal articles. Pearl’s parents, meanwhile, released the anthology “I am Jewish,” reflections on Pearl’s last words by a Who’s Who of the Jewish world, and began a foundation “to promote cross-cultural understanding through journalism, music, and innovative communications.”
Reached by phone at home in Los Angeles, Judea Pearl spoke with the Forward about his son’s legacy and some of its seeming paradoxes, beginning with the tension between Daniel the man of peace and Daniel as justification for war.
“He was a bridge builder,” said Pearl, a professor of computer science at UCLA, “who has become an instrument of indictment against radical Islam. It’s not unreasonable that a person who would devote his life to building bridges will become an indictment when his death is perceived to be a betrayal of what he stood for.”
Asked if there was a tension between Daniel the bridge builder and Daniel the Jew, Pearl demurred.
“Universal humanity emanates from personal empathy,” said Pearl, who was born in Tel Aviv in 1936. “Tribalism is stepping stone to universal understanding.”
Unlike Nomani and Mariane, Judea Pearl is comfortable with the language of myth. Indeed, he said, the mythology that has come to envelop his son has only helped bring him more clearly into view.
“The more I go through this, the more I see he was really a great man,” Pearl said. “I’m learning through imagining his reactions. I don’t understand how I missed it in his life. I should have spent more time with him. I should have used him more. I should have learned from him more. The mythology still hasn’t grasped what he really was.”

Weeeeeell, there IS a long standing practice for A listers NOT to do commercials in the US. If you do a commercial and it shows in the US (print or tv ad) it shows you aren’t top of the heap. We don’t make “the rules”, we just know what they are. In this case, they fit too.

Matt Damon confessed he has no idea how his friend Brad Pitt handles his level of celebrity. It’s true if you think about it. Angelina Jolie and Brad cannot do a single thing without making it a bulb fest.
“I honestly don’t know how he does it. He can’t walk down the street anywhere, literally anywhere. They’re in Prague right now because Angelina’s working, and he can’t walk down the street. I went to Prague and I didn’t sign an autograph for six months, and it was great!”
————————
Also, there’s this beeyotch who goes to the “Oh no they didn’t” blog and comes here to look for pictures of brad and the kids. She hates Angie but has absolutely no problem with Brad. Her name is “Lifetimeis4u” and she’s a complete X fan. A major freak.
That person who said that the people who hate Angie are really Brad fans who are bitter he’s with her is so right!!!
Seems like he takes the opportunity to work whenever it fits into his family life. SMART!
It’s not easy to make a dramatic, tense movie when many in the audience already know the ending, but director Michael Winterbottom has created one of the most compelling and emotional movies you will see, and one which should receive massive Oscar consideration. Much like United 93, Winterbottom has crafted A Mighty Heart into a raw movie free of histrionics, a loud soundtrack or special effects. He makes each audience member feel like he or she is sitting at the table with Mariane, going on interviews with the police, and watching the same news reports on TV as everyone else as he mixes in real news footage along with recreations of events. Finally, with his best decision in the movie, Winterbottom grabs our attention, not by showing what we know has happened, but making us see the reaction of those who witness it.
Time after time, we are on the edge of our seats as writer John Orloff (based on the book by Mariane Pearl) authors a mystery for the audience that takes us through the twists and turns, the possible discoveries, questioning of suspects, false leads and the conclusion that still hits you in the gut, whether you followed the story in the news or not. Along with Winterbottom, the two create a movie where you can feel the tension rising minute by minute. Thankfully, A Mighty Heart also has a cast that can live up to and enhance the brilliant material.
Many of you will wonder how Jolie could portray a woman she has very little physical resemblance to, however, you wouldn’t know it was her if not for the trademark Jolie lips. She fills Mariane with an amazing, wonderful mix of power and hope tempered by reality and preparation for the worst. Additionally, Jolie delivers what I consider to be one of the most horrific, gut wrenching, heartbreaking scenes I have ever witnessed on a movie screen just after the film’s climax. It’s one of those scenes you won’t ever forget, makes you squirm in your seat with discomfort, and you can still hear her just thinking about it weeks later.
Additionally, A Mighty Heart also features some great supporting players like Irrfan Khan as the Pakistani police captain who is determined to make sure his government and his agency’s reputation is upheld, and compelled by honor and duty to do the right thing, as well as Archie Panjabi as Mariane’s friend and colleague who tries to help her dig through the case and figure out who might be behind the disappearance.
I hope Oscar voters remember A Mighty Heart when it comes time for the voting.
AMH is a movie about tolarance and respect yet here a lot of people hate asra who hates the movie, weird and sad.
STOP THE HATE PEOPLE
LETS MOVE ON
SOME PEOPLE WILL LIKE THE MOVIE, SOME PEOPLE WILL HATE.. IT’S JUST A MOVIE. NO REASON TO SPREAD HATE.
100 please | 06/26/2007 at 6:51 pm
Please stop promoting Asra. We can post all the positive reviews, why do we like controversy? This movie promotes a very important message, that’s what we need to read about.
………………………………………
i’m posting positive reviews
and link to the documentary for those who want this kind of filming
Daniel Pearl’s parents and his son ( through Mariane) are the only ones who can say something about the legacy of Daniel Pearl story
And i’m against putting links to Asra articles
BRAD IS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
SEXY FILF.

Some old brad fans hate angelina because they think Brad is a “normal” all american guy. I don’t know how these people can call themselves Brad fans lol they need to do a better research on the old-school brad.
who knew asra is the “michael moore” of this blog lol

More like the “ann coulter” of this blog. Didn’t ann coulter accuse the widows of 9/11 of using their loved ones’s death for publicity.
That’s exactly what Asra is saying about Mariane. Coulter and Asra could become bff’s. Both are attention wh*res who use someone else’s grief for their personal gain.
have you seen the new pics of Pax jumping on Mickey’s foot ?
ahahaha
thanks to those posting pics and links…much appreciated!!!!!!
Time magazine has a q&a forum in this week’s magazine. It is similar to what Sean Smith di. One of the questioners ask MP about letting a white person, AJ, play her in the movie. Her answer is that she asked her to play me. She further stated that AJ was more beautiful than she, but she felt she would do a good job, and she did. If someone has Time and a scanner could you please scan it for everyone to read. Let me say that I am paraphrasing. Peace.

Don’t we all wish that, lol. he’ll only do that for Angie’s view though :-| agh such a life.
Pax acts more free and happy when he is with angie and mickey, yesterday was the same.

99 Real face of Asra Nomani
FYI, I flagged this message to be deleted for the following reasons:
1. It may not be obvious to all, but the piece targets Ms. Nomani’s life. I have read too many pieces on how web based hateful targeting pieces becomes a trigger for journalist killings . Check Hrant Dink case in Turkey and why and how he is killed, if you are interested.
2. The contents in the said article have no bearing on the ideas and thoughts of Ms. Nomani on the production of AMH.
Keeping in mind the general subject matter of JJ, I will not go into further detail but if you have any problems with my request, please ask JJ for my e-mail and I will gladly discuss other reasons.

120 Pax rocks | 06/26/2007 at 7:36 pm
Pax acts more free and happy when he is with angie and mickey, yesterday was the same.
what’s your point?
Brad is His Father, Mickey us His BodyGaurd.
You bring this up often don’t you?
Jared, I tried to repost some comments on another thread, but I kept getting the message that it was a duplicate post and my message was rejected. Yet I see people posting the same posts over and over. Why can the repost, and I couldn’t? Peace.
#120: how do you know and what is your point. You want to show that Pax likes the bodyguard more than the dad? What will that get you? a little tickle in your butt?
Really, what kind of a person are you? That is a sign of poor childhood as well as a personality disorder. I bet you’re a thrill at parties….ooops, you were never invited at parties, were you?
#112: Ann Coulter didn’t accuse everyone . Just the Jersey girls. google, my friend. google.
#124 dina 1…just keep reposting! good luck!happens to me.
I think it is only natural that Pax might be a little bit more at ease with both Angie and Mickey at this early stage. They were the ones who fetched him in Vietnam. Sort of like imprinting on a baby. With time, he’ll be just at ease with Papa Pitt. He’s already showing signs of that in some of the videos when Brad was the one picking him up from school.
Thanks Jared, damn Brad is so damn hot and sexy
Sell out !

How ironic. Here’ an F-list TV actor, not even a “star”, threatening to sue because he was called a drunk…yet Ted C can imply all he wants that Angie is a smack addict…as long as he doesn’t use her name and accuse her outright. Ain’t America great?
Gorgeous, is all that I can say.
Q: What were your impressions of Angelina Jolie?
DAN: I think she’s truly one of my generation’s great, great actors. I had a chance to see my friend Phil Hoffman perform up close a few years ago and you think, “O.K. I’ve had that experience. I can write that one down and tell it to my kids.” Two years later, I’m working with someone who’s giving a scene an utter transformational, beautifully emotional performance. She’s incredibly smart and finely tuned. I was completely knocked out by her. With her, it seems like it’s the easiest thing in the world. She’s improvising, she’s doing an accent that’s not her own and she’s comfortable as can be. You cannot dare her to do anything she’s not willing to do. She’s just utterly and completely a pleasure to work with.

Thanks Frenchy!
With a spoon folks with a BIG spoon! sigh!
B*R*A*D**************************
120 - you’re so pathetic!
the advantage of Brad Pitt, whenever some company ask him for a commercial, they go to Brad Pitt not Brad Pitt go to them, like he was in India and now Prague, ahhhhhhhh, the power of Brad Pitt hehe
I agree: YUM!
Loves him - so hot!!
I wish that Brad and Angie will also do a commercial together. I saw a commercial and I cannot remember what they are advertising but this young woman was walking a crowded street passing in between cars and finally saw the person (man) she was looking for. I think the background music was “I wonder why, I walk the line.”
They could make a commercial that Brad is wearing this hot pair of jeans while walking at a crowded street and all the good looking women (really goodlooking women like models) were staring at him while he passes by, then these women follow him curious where he was going. Then the final shot would be his final stop near a car with Angie wearing the same brand jeans pushing a stroller with a baby sitting there. Then all the women will sign!!!
Hey all JP fans go see AMH.
I meant all the women will sigh!!!
Let’s not become more childish about why Pax seems more at ease & “playful” with Mickey than with his dad - None of you “see” what happens in their private lives once they get away from the paps… Pictures can be interpreted in many ways: someone is “smiling” at their loved one is proof of a deep devotion [a non-judging person]; while a “negative” person sees only the fact that it’s not BOTH of them smiling at each other, and that’s “proof” of them NOT loving each other, but playing games instead.
Does that make sense to any of you?
I’ve seen the same pictures all of you have seen, and it reminds me of my own nephew’s reactions re: his DAD vs: his uncles & brothers. His dad was EVERYTHING to him growing up, and his uncles & brothers were “recess”.
Between the ages of 3-8 he used words like: “play with me” & “I’m gonna use you like a tree and climb you” - While his dad got: “what’s this” & “what’s that”, etc. Hell, at 4 years old Sam was trying in his limited way to tell his dad why the moon had all those holes and was “naked” [no grass, trees, water, etc.] compared to Earth. All his dad did was gape at him, shake his head, and say: “I’m NEVER gonna read the National Geographic around him without an encyclopedia at hand.”
Dads to sons are the ones they want to make proud, follow in BIG footsteps - to eventually show THEIR sons where they will belong in this world of kindness & cruelty; ignorance & knowledge; tolerance & condemnation.
Be well assured: Pax, like his brother & sisters love their dad [& mom] to pieces but the paps can’t or won’t show us this with THEIR pictures… THEY don’t have 24/7/365 access to this family.
“BABYDADDY” go away and do your daddy duties..Mr. Mom forever….
Mighty Flop has made them to go for commercial ads….
Pitt is pretty average looking but he plays it up, plus he looks like he has had surgery……
for wentworth miller, it’s korea…for brad pitt it’s prauge for wenty’s commercial it’s break jeans! for brad’s commercial it’s softbank! a japanese cellphone company!! why does wentworth miller have to model korean made blue jeans, and brad pitt have to talk on a cellphone????!!!
Brad has these commercial contracts already even before the AMH filming. Besides Angie and Brad did the movie not for awards or money, they did it to put a moving picture to Marianne’s book and did it in a very amazing and brilliant way, that we could see tragedy and forgiveness as part of reality. If Angie wants a blockbuster she could have accepted a “James Bond type” movie where her acting skills would not be challenged but it will make good money. Even a low budgeted film like Oceans 13 which made bank, the crew gave part of the profit to charity. I don’t think Angie is even dreaming of an Oscar for AMH, she has one already. And being Brad’s partner and waking up with him each day is better than an Oscar.
as a years goes by u never getting old coz u r still busy keep it up & stay as u are no matter what happened (we love u from philippines)

brad pitt and angelina jolie family
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVIZECEx2LU&mode=user&search=
hello, former beowulf regulars!
i missed a lot of threads (& posts), have a lot of catching up to do :(.
saraicita, thanks for the links, you’re at it again huh? ;) hope everything’s fine with you now.
topaz, re: the j-p stamps, i’ll be happy if you can provide me even with just scans of it. please?
i’m off now to the chicago thread, see you around ladies.
Hey Topaz, great news about possibly getting the sttamps. Please share with all of us if/when you get the info. I collect stamps and would LOVE to get a few samples.
Hello no longer… I was there first so I got here very late :lol: What else is new? BG
Intresting debate over there: wether or not to buy the L&S Madd’s B’day isssue. ,a.Pro: it is positive Con: They have not changed,former bad deeds, and it will only give them financial support to keep afloat! It is a conflict I too love having a mag/glossy copy of the pics, yet HATE to support an institution that ALL of us have agreed have an agenda w/ regards our much loved family! What to do????
G’nite all my lovlies…It seems as if my welcome post got lost in cyber wasteland!
Synopsis:
Thanks guys for trusting me and comming over. I was very nervous about the decision. Thanks to Saraicita for all the awesome links/vids/pics. It all helps to make our “garden” grow.
I came very late tonight. I’ll have to check in earlier and post before I go lurking :lol:
The Angie in Chicago thread is mostly great: Great pictures and all aroundjustified celebrating by fans on their vindication about our JP family. A few Trolls surfaced and the conversation about the babies is reprehensible but thanks to the real tita and others they received a sharp “smack down”
Don’t forget to come by and post guys. If we do, then our garden will grow. Wo knows we may set another record “Most posts by a core of ___ fans” (fill in the number) :lol:

Hi Saraicita,
Hope you’re feeling better with each passing day.
My you have such a huge collection!! Thanks and all good wishes to you and your husband.
Thank you ladies. Thank you Topaz, I am well and my husband is better than me. Apologize but it is that I was cooking and I take a long time in that because I don’t know how to cook. As all you are? I wait that well. My husband and I take vacations next week for New York. I am so happy for this trip, although just are 5 days. My goal is 100 daily posts.
I return inside a moment

What a lovely way to start the day with all the beautiful picture.
I just love the picture of Shi kissing her mum. So endearing.
Hey I don’t know how to cook too, I figure all the great chefs in the worlds are mostly men, so god intend must be for us women not to cook and most of the women are very good at socializing, so his intention for us is to have fun and partying……hehehehe. Someone very wise said ” if god wants woman to slave in the kitchen, he wouldn’t help men invent Restaurant” or something close like that….I like that one, used it on my boy friend all the time…it works…LOL

Truth be told , i feel that men make the best chefs and the best hair stylists. All the best restaurants here in town have male chefs because the waiter/waitresses tell you when you ask them.
I just adore eating gourmet and exotic foods and I ‘m too lazy to cook nowasyas. When my kids were young, I used to cook a lot more.
I’m tall and still pretty slim but have to exercise more more as one gets older , don’t we all.
Anyway, saraicita, just start with simple recipes and grow from there. Grilling is the simplest. have your hubby clean up. I always grill salmon , easiest to do and tastes gd. I also make a very nice blueberry crepe. . Nowadays, i buy in a lot.Love whole foods.
Am excited you’re going to New York next week. Want to all about it when you get back.
My husband and I are going there too in early Sept..also for 5 days.
Hey Estelle,
do you think its a kiss gate too? Isn’t it funny about the er –camping of AGirl?
Sorry, don’t know what I was typing, I meant nowadays. Haha
Hope you’ll be visiting tonight, No longer. Some strange Tsotsi is being a troll.
I do find this thread harder to get to and I go thru Brad P archives from the most popular site.
hello everyone.
saraicita, thanks for all your wonderful links. i’m impressed w/ your vast “collections”. ;)
i’m no excellent cook as well, all i’m good at are fried foods; it’s my husband who’s the master of the kitchen.
topaz, are you using internet explorer? if you do, just click favorites on the top of the screen, then click add to favorites, then ok; this thread is now added to your favorites. next time you visit, just click again favorites, then just find the brad softbank link & click it & you’re here, you no longer have to go through all the old threads at the archives.
Hi no longer, Yes I’m using internet explorer seven.
Yep, I just did it. its so easy now, when I’ve been going thru all that for the Beowulf thread, no wonder the depth of archives didn’t bother you guys.
Whats new on the other thread since the Jesse meltdown?
topaz, just came back. so now you won’t be having trouble finding our sanctuary. ;)
that new thread was really crazy huh? went there earlier & the original write-up (when jesse hasn’t changed it yet) looks like it came from a tabloid lol. jesse did get his baptism of fire, lots of flak thrown at him so he changed the write-up; learned his lesson the hard way. now, sam is there again rambling once more on the movie bomb, talk about being obsessed.
G’Nite me lovlies. BAMPZS rule! Great pics of Angie on the Wanted set.
I was lurking (as usual) on the Brad & Angie in Chicago thread and reading all the angst over whether or not Shiloh is kissing Angie! Da people R Crazie!!
Topaz, another trick is to bookmark the last page you visited so that you can immediately return to where you left off if you want to catch up on all the posts. I’ll save you some time and include the link here:lol:
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/06/26/brad-pitt-softbank-white-suit/comment-page-12/#comments
The debate over whether or not to buy the positive Tabs this week goes on. Both sides have good points. I am ambivilent. I used to get them every week (only the positive B&A articles) before I discovered the blogs. Then I quit because I realized that to them(tabs) it was all a game, and I hated that they put this wonderful family in potential danger because they fed the flames of the rabid fans. Yeeach! What to do?????
Thanks Saraicita for all the fab links. I too wish you success in all your culinary ventures. My suggestion: start with Eggs! It is not hard to make omlets and they can be appropriate for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Good Luck!
Ok BAMPZSters we need a purpose! Last time it was to reach a number of posts (Saraicita seems to be flexing the posting muscles for that run again!)
How about we mix it up? Say a short fanfic or two? I remember a game we used to play where you had to continue a story no matter where the previous contributer left off! :lol: I can see that getting quite interesting here!:oops:
Shall we adopt one of Angie’s charities? I read that if you buy ANGIE’S book ‘NOTES FROM MY TRAVELS’ the money earned goes to all her causes.
Collect recipies for Saraicita?
Create a Anti-Tab A&B Newsblog?
Any ideas guys? Come on, we need a good reason to visit EVERYDAY so we can grow our “garden”.
Love & Prayers for our BAMPZS family & all in JPville! :lol::lol::lol::lol:
Yeach! The new thread S*cked lemons! Ok what did JJ do that had so many fans irate? By the time I got there it seemed the ofending text had been deleted. Ah well… :lol:
Well, its hard to find something cool that has not already been posted, but I’ll try.
BAMPZSters, here is your nitecap. Sweet dreams:
http://i14.tinypic.com/5xg2cz9.jpg
Hello ladies, how is everyone this morning, I was at the old thread to contribute to the daily post…hehe.
I love all the pictures on the last 2 threads don’t you? well, they are now back to the break up story again since someone post that Brad is back in LA by himself….*sighs*. So this couple can’t go any where alone without rumor of break up?…
Hiya Bampzsville Fans,
Joining in late . The other thread was insane and entertaining , skimming thru quickly. Looks like Brad is waiting in the court house for / jury duty. What if he’s called?
Z and Angie shopping for toys, so cute together.Going back to read the comments.
Respond to perpetual’s later.
G’nite me lovlies. What a breath of fresh air our little “garden” is! :lol:
Posting this from the Angie & Zee goe shopping thread:
403 perpetual lurker : 08/09/2007 at 10:24 pm
G’Nite JP fans in BAMPZsville. I am sorry to say that I am extreemly disturbed by the pictures and the tone of the thread so far. (I am just on pg. 4)
First, kudos to the fans for snapping back at the horrible comments about an obviously TERRIFIED Child. It is no doubt a testament to Angelina’s calm demeanor that the child is not howling!
Secondly, this is the second time in less than a week that one of her children has been terrified by the Prazzi….have we so soon forgotton that Mad was reduced to tears last week and had to be comforted by his Mom?
Finally, rather than debate the bottom feeding, pus encrusted, slime molds that pass themselves off as sentient beings, can we please share ideas and strategies on how or what we can do to turn around this trend of SCREAMING at children to elicit a reaction???
Last night a cigar smoking celeb, doing his best JOKER impression coldly informed the Prazzis that if they flashed the camera in his kid,s face again he would kill them. It was on tape, on ET, Access Hollywood, Extra or Insider. They apparently backed off: mission accomplished. Reaction recorded. Any suggestions people? These tactics border on the inhumane!!
ok, just dropping by to do my daily contribution.
so how to make our garden grow? my brain’s too clogged up to think, i leave the decision to you & i’ll just follow. so sorry, ladies. :(
I think we can convince tres hot to start our CHAIN fanfic?? :lol: I think we should give it a try after all they are quite popular and may even encourage other posters to join in.
An idea from the Angie and Zee thread: Love in a taxicab!!!
http://images.yuku.com/image/png/6a215075620cad4d425feada778529166543576_t.png
Hi no longer and perpetual,
I’m leaving the ideas to you, there are some terrific writers on the regular blog.
I’ll just drop in and visit , no problemo, you are all my new cyber friends.
Nighty nite .
Good morning , all , have made contact with my cousins.
One will find out about it tomorrow. The other one is super efficient ,haven’t heard back re the stamps yet.
Will be in touch. Don’t want to get over excited.
Well, good afternoon ladies, just checking in. Fanfic here?…oye, it’s hard to bring my ff over here, since it’s already in the old thread.
hello everyone!
chain fanfic? i don’t think i have the talent for that so you have to bear with me, perhaps i can add a line or two…well, let’s just see.
topaz, i’ve gained a lot of friends here too. bampzsville is really a great community, that’s why the trolls love pestering us.
G’Nite me lovlies. Note to PL: must discipline self to only read a few posts on main thread before comming over. :lol:
It was very exciting tonight what with m’boy Brad being picked up at the airport and all the (reported but not seen) Hot lovin’ which ensued!
It was good to see Missouri Fan posting again. Our girls, the real tita, & NL are having fun over there.
I guess I’m shy about getting my feet wet but I’ll give it a try so we can start. I really want the true JP fans to know that this is a cool fun place to hang out whether or not the current thread gets crazy. BBL
Good morning lovely fans,
YOu go ahead and try the fan fic.Perpetual ,i will read yours!
You could be very talented! you just never know.
Good that MFan is writing again. One of the trolls wrote a really disgusting piece .fans fought back well.
The trolls do love pestering us , think they enjoy the bickering!
can’t believe impatient Brad really climbed over in the SUV for the welcome/make up session with the kiddies watching! Super Hot! The other thread is showing somethin’ ,. haven’t read it yet
Good afternoon ladies,
I’ve been watching MF’s video for the last 30 minutes…I love the song she used for the video, please check it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XuSzfEXGoI#
Any how No longer lurker…go back to the 5000 post, I save the 5100 post for you….shall we go on?…..love your singing btw… :)

FACE TO FACE
It was another hot July day in the city, of Los Angeles. The Jolie Pitts were spending the summer at their Malibu Estate. The children love hanging out at the beach. Although the house had grown small for the family, they still loved it. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt were both having busy summers. Brad was producing two movies. Angelina had made three trips to Africa, on behalf of the UNHCR.
The Jolie Pitt men were busy too. Maddox was interning at an Architectual Firm in Chicago. AJ was attending a Basketball Camp, in North Carolina. The girls were enjoying the summer so far, at the beach. Next month, the whole family was going to spend a couple of weeks in the South of France. This was a request from Zahara. Since she would be leaving for STANFORD at the end of August, Brad and Angelina asked if she wanted to do any traveling, before she headed off to college. She wanted to go to St. Tropez. They owned a chateau there, and they all had loved it there.
This day, Zahara, Shiloh and Bella decided to do a little shopping. They were walking down Robertson’s laughing and joking. Shiloh and Bella were going to miss Zahara like crazy, when she would leave for college. Although there were times when they all didn’t agree with one another, they were extremely close. Right now they couldn’t agree on what store to go to next. Zahara wanted to go to LISA KLINE’S, Shiloh and Bella wanted to go to KITSON’S. Two against one, KITSON’S it was.
Robertson’s was still one of the mecca’s of shopping, in Los Angeles. Over the many, many years when word got out that a new, hot place to shop was discovered, it seemd like the store was always located on Robertson’s. They made their way into KITSON’S.
“You know, I’ve been around the world and the only jenas that I can find that fit me right are located here. A half hour away from our house.” Bella said laughing.
“God, you guys. Were only going to have a few more times to do this, before I leave.” Zahara said sadly.
Bella and Shiloh looked at their big sister. Shiloh didn’t want to admit it, she was already missing Zee. “Come on don’t start crying. Not yet anyway. Let’s spend some money first.” Shiloh told her as she dragged her through the store.
KITSON’S. If only these walls could talk. Most of Hollywood’s most fascinating stories seemed to transpire from this one store:
Did SPF and his girlfriend really have sex in one of the dressing rooms?
Did Suri Cruise and Grier Henchy really have a catfight in the Ladies Lounge?
Did Apple Martin really spend a $100,000.000 in a half hour?
Did Coco Arquette really get caught shoplifting?
Then of course were the OLD SCHOOL rumors. Funny,all of them seemed to center around Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan. Yes, this store had some serious pop culture history.
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=2
Bella was looking at a couple pair of jeans. Zahara was trying on clothes in one of the dressing rooms. Shiloh was sitting in a nice over stuff easy chair, trying on shoes. The store was getting crowded. KITSON’S was the one place that the Jolie Pitt girls could shop, and no one would bother them.
Shiloh gathered up the shoe boxes she was going to buy. She stood up and looked around the store. She was looking for her younger sister. Her blue eyes darted around the store. She finally found Bella. She had a few pair of jeans in her hand. She was looking at some jewelry. Shiloh walked over to Zahara’s dressing room. She knocked on the door. “Zee, It’s me. How’s it going in there?” Shiloh asked.
Zahara walked out of the dressing room. “What do you think of these?” Zahara asked refering to the jeans she had tried on.
Shiloh looked up and down at her sister. She had to admit it, Zee was a looker.”They look great. What size are they? Maybe I can borrow them sometimes.”
Zahara laughed. “I don’t think so. These are coming to Palo Alto with me.”
“****! Who’s clothes am I going to borrow when you leave?”
“I don’t know.” Zahara said smiling. “There’s another pair that I want to try on, do you mind?”
“No. I thought you didn’t want to come in here.” Shiloh teased.
“I know, I know.” Zahara said as she closed the dressing room door.
“Take your time. Bella is looking at jewelry. We’ll be here all day.”
Shiloh sat back down in her chair. From this spot, she had a pretty good view of the whole store. She watched the comings and goings. She love to people watch. Shiloh looked around the store again, and suddenly someone caught her attention.
A woman in her fifties. She looked very familar to Shiloh. She was looking at some sunglasses. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but she was sure she had seen this woman before. Shiloh squinted her eyes,and moved her head a little bit. She followed the woman’s movements. Suddenly, BINGO! Shiloh knew exactly who this woman was. “No Way!’ Shiloh said out loud.
“No way what?” Bella asked.
Shiloh had been concentrating on this woman’s identity, that she hadn’t even noticed that Bella had made her way to the dressing room area. Shiloh turned around and looked at her sister. She pulled Bella down, in the same chair she was sitting in.
“Bella. Look over there at the lady with the brown hair, wearing a white t-shirt, jeans and flip flops.” Shiloh told her.
Bella glanced around the store.” I don’t see anyone like that.”
“Keep looking. She’s still over there.” Shiloh instructed her.
Bella did what her sister told her to do. Then suddenly, BINGO! “No Way! Is that who I think that is?”
“Yep! It’s Daddy’s first wife. HOLY ****!” Shiloh said.

Jennifer Aniston had not aged very well. Her habits of extensive over exposure to the sun and smoking, had finally caught up with her. She still had the same features that graced hundreds of magazines, in her heyday. That was many years ago. She wore her hair in a shorter version, in the hairstyle that became a part of pop culture, almost three decades ago. There were wrinkles around her eyes and mouth. She still had a nice figure, especially for someone, her age.
Over the years, her movie career seemed to dwindle down to nothing. She divided her time between Los Angeles and New York. Her last hit movies were THE BREAK UP and CATALYST. After CATALYST, a string of flops followed. She was never able to capture the ‘magic’ she had in THE BREAK UP. After a few years, she was regulated to character roles in movies and on TV. There was a new breed of ‘AMERICA’S SWEETHEARTS’, that seemed to pop up every few years.
She never remarried, although she was engaged a couple of times. She had no children and no OSCAR. Jennifer was spending the summer with her best friends, The Arquettes; David, Courtney and her goddaughter, Coco. Courtney Cox Aquette was also in KITSON’S, shopping for her daughter.
Shiloh and Bella were still in shock, that they were seeing their father’s ex-wife. They had seen a few pictures of her and occasionally on TV, but this was the first time they saw her in person, face to face.
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=4
“She doesn’t look at all like she did on that old TV show, FRIENDS.” Bella commented.
FRIENDS would show up sometimes on the TVLAND cable channel with a crop of other TV shows, from the distant past.
“Look how many years ago that was? Of course she doesn’t look like that.” Shiloh said to her sister.
“She doesn’t look like Daddy’s type at all. She is so different from Mom. Why does her skin look like that?” Bella asked.
“Like what?” Shiloh answered.
“Like leathery, not smooth like Mom’s, Zee’s, or your’s for that matter?”
“Smoking and baking in the sun, will do that to you.” Shiloh said.
“How do you know she’s a smoker?”
“Hello! It’s so obvious. She probably put one out, before she came into the store.” Shiloh got up and knocked on Zahara’s dressing room door. “Zee?” Shiloh whispered.
“What?” Zahara answered back.
“Are you decent?’ Shiloh asked.
“Yes, why?”
“Come out here for a second. You won’t believe who is shopping, in this store right now.” Shiloh told her.
Zahara opened the door and came out of the dressing room. She had some clothes on hangers, in her hands. A salesgirl immediatley came over to assist her.”I think I’m going to take these.” Zahara explained.
“Okay. Let me help you with these. I’ll just put them up front. When your ready, just let me know.” She said smiling at the beautiful girl as she took Zahara’s clothes, that she was planning to buy.
Zahara smiled back.”Thank You.” She looked back at Shiloh. “Who?”
Jennifer Aniston had joined Courtney Cox Aqruette. They were looking at t-shirts. Shiloh continued on.”Look at the woman over there, that has brown hair she’s wearing a white t-shirt,jeans and flip flops.”
Zahara looked around the store. Her eyes found Shiloh’s description of the woman. BINGO! “No Way!”
“Yes way.” Shiloh said. All three of them squeezed into that one over stuff easy chair. It was a good thing they were all thin. Brad and Angelina’s daughters, could not believe who they were looking at.
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=5
“God, she looks so different from that old TV show.” Zahara said in wonder.
“I can’t believe that Daddy was once married to her.” Bella said with some disbelief in her voice.
“I can’t believe that Dad used to **** her!” Shiloh said.
Both Zahara and Bella slapped Shiloh’s arm.”Shiloh!” They both whispered.
“Oh come on. You guys were thinking the same thing. You just didn’t want to say it.” Shiloh defended herself.
“It’s so weird. I can’t imagine that he was married to somebody else, who wasn’t Mom. It’s so surreal.” Bella said to them.
Shiloh got her SIDEKICK V out of her Gucci tote. She began to text messaging.
“What are you doing?” Zahara asked her.
“I’m sending Maddox a message, telling him, who we are looking at right now. I’ll send one to AJ too. He probably won’t check it for another week.” Shiloh explained.
Jennifer and Courtney continued to shop. Courtney had found a few things for Coco. She was looking around the store when she spotted, the three most beautiful girls in the store.
Zahara was studying Jennifer, from afar. She remembered when she was a little girl. She saw Jennifer on the beach in Malibu. At that time Shiloh was a toddler and Tobias hadn’t been born yet. She remembered Jennifer as a lady, that her Dad knew at one time. Never as his first wife. “Okay you guys. Are we going to sit here and stare at her all day?”
“Yes.” Shiloh answered her.
Zahara looked at her sister.”No were not. Let’s get out of here.”
“Wait! I still have to try on my jeans.” Bella told her. She got up and went into a dressing room.”It will only take a few minutes and then we can leave.”
“You know, I wonder what she looked like, when she was married to Dad. I mean she’s not really ugly. She just looks so much different from Mom. I wonder if she and Dad had any kids. We may have a half brother or sister we don’t know about.” Shiloh told Zahara.
“If Daddy and this lady had any kids, we would know about it.” Zahara told her.
Courtney saw the Jolie Pitt girls sitting by the dressing rooms. Over the years, she had seen Brad and Angelina’s children grow up. Coco and their kids, had gone to the same school. Although her and David never moved in the same circle as the Jolie Pitts, when their paths did cross, they were cordial with one another.
The last thing her best friend needed, was to run into her ex-husbands children. His beautiful children.

“You know, we all know that Mom and Dad met while they were filming the first MAMS.”
“Yeah?” Zahara answered.
“When was he married to his other wife?” Shiloh asked.
“I don’t know.” Zahara said as she got up. She knocked on the sister’s dressing room door. “Bella, are you almost finished?”
“Yes. I have ome more pair to try on.”
“Well, hurry!” Zahara told her.
“Take your time.” Shiloh fired back.
Zahara looked over at Jennifer again. “Hey. Isn’t that Coco Arquette’s mom with her?”
Shiloh sat up a little bit, to get a better look.”Yeah, I think so.”
“What happened to her? She wasn’t at school hardly at all this past semester. I don’t remember seeing her at Graduation.”
“Rumor has it, she’s in a clinic with a eating disorder. I heard she was a puker.”
Zahara shook her head. Sometimes her sister’s bluntness blew her away. “That’s sad. I hope she is getting better. Maybe her mom is buying her some new clothes.”
“Maybe.” Shiloh was texting another message.
“Who are you texting now?”
“Aunt Holly. She’s known Mom and Dad before we were even born. I bet she would know when Dad was married to her.”
Courtney caught up with her friend. It was time for them to leave. “Hey Jen, I have more than enough here for Coco, why don’t we make our way out of here.”
Jennifer noticed the unusual tone in her friends voice. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing.” Courtney lied.
Jennifer Aniston has known Courtney, for over twenty years. She knew something was not right.”Come on, Court. Spill it. I know something is bothering you.”
Courtney looked at her dear friend.”Brad and Angelina’s daughters are here. All of them.”
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=7
Jennifer felt her heart drop for a moment. She was absolutely stunned. She had only seen Brad’s children in magazines. Brad and Angelina’s children, she had to remind herself.
“Where are they?”
“Over by the dressing rooms.” Courtney told her.
Jennifer moved a little bit to get a better view. She saw both Zahara and Shiloh. She let out a small gasp. Jennifer hated to admit it, but their photographs didn’t do them justice. They were absolutely stunning in person.
Courtney saw the look of sadness on her friends face.”I’m sorry honey.” She whispered.
“No, it’s okay. I’m alright.”
“Are you sure?” Courtney asked her.
“I’m fine. But, I sure could use a drink right about now.” Jennifer said laughing.
Courtney looked at her friend again. Many years have passed since Brad and Jennifer were husband and wife. But some wounds, took a lifetime to heal. She could see the pain mixed with sadness.
“Court,while you take care of those.” Pointing to Coco’s things. “I think I’ll go get the car.” Jennifer decided. She wanted to get out of KITSON’S, now.
“Okay. Wait a minute?!”
“What?” Jennifer asked.
“There are some paps outside.” Courtney told her, looking out the window.
“Well, we’ll go out the back way.”
“And pass right by the dressing rooms? I don’t think so.” Courtney explained. “You know I’m going to put these away. I’ll call back later and have them sent to me. Let’s just get out of here.”
“I’m right behind you.” Jennifer told her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bella finally came out of the dressing room.”It’s about time.” Zahara told her.
“Sorry.” Bella apologized. “Is she still here?”
“No. She and Mrs. Arquette left about five minutes ago.” Shiloh updated her.
“Can we go now?” Zahara asked, looking at her sisters.
“Yes we can go now.” Shiloh told her. They gathered up their things. “You guys, I just thought of something. We don’t have to ask Aunt Holly anything.” Shiloh said.
“Good.” Zahara told her.
“We can get all the answers we want.”
“How?” Bella asked.
“Old School, Internet.” Shiloh told them, with a smile on her face.
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=8
The drive home late that afternoon was quiet. Each sister was wrapped into their own individual thoughts. Zahara was trying to remember when it was just her, Mom, Dad, and Maddox. She was trying to piece those hazy images together. Bella was still trying to imagine her Father married to someone else. Who was not, her Mother. Shiloh on the other hand was very curious. She wanted information. She wanted to know more about Jennifer Aniston.
Zahara broke the silence. “I don’t think we should mention anything to Mom and Dad, that we saw Jennifer today.” She was concentrating on the rush hour traffic.
“I agree.” Bella said.
Zahara didn’t hear anything from Shiloh. “Shiloh?”
Shiloh looked at her sister through her sunglasses. “Yeah, I agree with you guys on this one. I don’t think we should say anything.”
“Good.” Zahara said with relief in her voice.
“For now. I do think we should try to get as much information as we can. I have questions. You guys have questions. Were all curious in one way or another.”
Bella nodded her head. Shiloh was right. She was a little curious.
“I’m going to try to find some answers. Are you guys going to help me?”
“How?” Bella asked
“I told you, Old School internet. We’ll do some research.”
“I’m not good at research.” Bella told her. Although she was curious, she also thought that maybe, they should leave well enough alone.
“Well, you can help in other ways.” Shiloh explained.
“What other ways?” Bella asked.
“I’ll let you know. Don’t worry.” Shiloh reassured her. “What about you, Zee?”
Zahara continued to concentrate on the road. When Shiloh set her mind to do something, she was like a bulldog. She just hoped that they were all doing the right thing. “Yeah, I’ll help. We better not get in any trouble.”
“Don’t worry.” Shiloh said smiling. Okay. Good. Let’s get the skinny on this BIYOTCH.”
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=9
Angelina Jolie Pitt was in her office when she saw on the security monitor, that the girls were home. It was rare that she had the whole house to herself. The silence was quite soothing. The word quiet, rarely described the Jolie Pitt family. She heard the chatter in the hall as the girls walked pass her office.
“Hey come back here.” Angelina yelled.
The chatter suddenly stopped. The girls came into their Mother’s office.
“How was the shopping?” She asked.
Zahara looked at Shiloh, Bella, and then back at her Mom. “It was great.”
Angelina recognized some of the names on the shopping bags.”So you hit Robertson’s, how was it?”
“Good. I found my jeans.” Bella volunteered some information.
“What about you Shi? Did you find those shoes, you were looking for?” Angelina asked her.
“Oh yeah, I did.”
Angelina looked at her three daughters. Usually when they came home from any shopping excursion, they couldn’t wait to show her what they bought. They would always would be laughing, talking a mile a minute. Not this time.
“Where’s Daddy?” Bella asked.
“He’s on his way home. Were going out to dinner, so you guys better get washed up.” Angelina told them.
Zahara, Shiloh, and Bella felt like their Mother was staring at them.
“Are you guys okay? Angelina asked “You guys seem so quiet.” She got up from her desk and walked toward where the girls were standing. She put her hand on Bella’s forehead.” Your not coming down with a cold are you?” She asked as she was studying her youngest daughter’s face.
“No. I’m fine.” Bella told her.
“Me too.” Zahara followed.
“Ditto.” Shiloh added.
“Come on guys. We better get washed up.” Zahara told them.
Angelina looked at them one more time. “Alright. I’ll see you guys in a little bit.”
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=10
The Jolie Pitt’s, enjoyed a nice dinner at KOI’S. Back home, Brad and Angelina were sitting on one of the decks. Brad loved the seclusion of their Malibu Estate. The actual house had gotten too small for the family, but they all enjoyed the coziness of it. Brad was drinking a Corona, Angelina was going over a script.
“Girls were quiet at dinner.” Brad said.
Angelina put her script down. “You noticed that too?”
“Yeah. Should we say something?”
“Let’s wait a couple of days. I think they are realizing, that they won’t all be together soon. With Zee leaving next month.”
“Yeah. That could be it. I’m having my own issues about that.” Brad told her.
“Come on now.” Angelina said smiling.”She wasn’t going to be your little girl forever.”
Brad reached out for Angelina’s hand. “She will always be my little girl.”
In the bedroom that Zahara and Shiloh shared, the girls were huddled over Shiloh’s razor thin laptop. The girls were quite aware of how famous their parents were. Both parents were Oscar winners. Their Mother had a great acting career. Their Father was one of the most successful producers in Hollywood. On top of all of that, they were both great humanitarians, who had given away millions of dollars over the years. Millions of dollars to the causes, that were so dear to their hearts. Oh, and their Mother just happened to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Their Dad, one of the sexist. They had grown up with the endless paparazzi, the tiredless media frenzy, autograph seekers, their world wide fans. They had seen everything……
“Okay. I think I’m going to start at IMDB.COM. That will be a good place to start.” Shiloh decided. She typed in Brad’s name. His profile came right up. She scanned over the information she already knew. “Okay. I found something. It looks like Jennifer and Dad met on a blind date, set up through their agents. How desparate was she?” Shiloh asked.
“Blind date? They did that back then?” Zahara asked.
“I know, huh.” Bella added.
Shiloh continued to read. “You guys, they were married, July 29, 2000. Became known as the ‘GOLDEN COUPLE’, huh. Separated, January 7, 2005. So they were married, what four and a half years?”
“Sounds like it.” Bella said.
“Does it say why they broke up?” Zahara asked.
“No.” Shiloh answered. “Let’s see.” Shiloh kept scrolling. “They were divorced, October 2, 2005.”
“Are you sure?” Zahara asked, with doubt in her voice.
“Yeah. Why?” Shiloh asked
“Shi, I was born, January 8, 2005. Mom and Daddy adopted me from Africa, July 2005. He wasn’t divorced until October of that year? He couldn’t of been married to Mom, when he adopted me. What about Maddox? We know that Mom Maddox on her own. When did he adopt him?” Zahara asked.
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=11
Bella looked at her older sister. She could see that there was confusion and sadness, on her her face.” Maybe we should stop.”
“No. We just got started. I want to find out more. They said here, that they were Hollywood’s GOLDEN COUPLE. Let me see If I can find some pictures. Maybe there’s some wedding pictures.” Shiloh told them. Shiloh scanned the PEOPLE magazine website. Jackpot! Images after images of Brad and Jennier’s married life, filled the computer screen: RED CARPET EVENTS. VACATIONS. AWARD SHOWS. MOVIE SETS. OUT AND ABOUT. Her FRIENDS TV Show set, which was once dubbed, MUST SEE TV. Images after images, after images.
“Well, she was no great beauty.” Shiloh came to that conclusion.
“Look how handsome Daddy was. I mean, still is.” Bella pointed out.
“I know. I used to love it, when he would pick me up and carry me. I always felt safe.” Zahara said sadly.
“Mom and Dad met while they were filming the first MAMS. Let’s shift the focus there for a second. I’ll try this GOOGLE thing, whatever that is.” Shiloh ‘googled’ Brad and Angelina names with MAMS. The girls were no way prepared, for what they were about to see:
BRAD AND ANGELINA: ARE THE SEXY CO-STARS, GETTING TOO CLOSE?
ANGELINA AND BRAD KISS!
IS THE PUFFY LIP BEAUTY, DRIVING JENNIFER ANISTON CRAZY?
ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT LAUGH OFF RUMORS.
BRAD AND JEN SEPARATE. IS ANGELINA TO BLAME?
BRAD AND ANGELINA DENY AFFAIR.
ANGELINA JOLIE: HOMEWRECKER.
TATTOOED VIXEN STAELS GOLDEN BOY?
BRAD AND ANGELINA ROUNDEVOUS IN KENYA.
DID JEN REFUSE TO GIVE BRAD A BABY?
JEN CHOOSES FAMILY OVER CAREER.
It just went on and on and on. Zahara looked at Bella. Bella looked at Shiloh. Shiloh looked at both of
her sisters. Zahara had tears in her eyes.
“Holy ****!!!” Shiloh said.
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=12
No one knew what to say. Shiloh clicked on a couple of more pages, but the subject matter was the same: Their Parents and how they met. Zahara walked over to her bed, and sat down. Bella followed her and did the same thing. She sat beside her big sister. Shiloh turned around and looked at both of them. They both had tears in their eyes.
“Why were they saying those things?” Bella asked tearfully. She began to cry. Zahara hugged her. Shiloh came over and sat with her sisters. She beagn to rub Bella’s back, as she tried to comfort her.
“I don’t know Bella. But were going to find out.” Shiloh said softly.
Zahara looked at Shiloh.”Don’t you think that, we have found out enough?” She asked with raw emotion in her voice.”Don’t you?” She asked Shiloh again.
Shiloh looked at Zahara. She could see the pain in her face.”I just mea-.”
Zahara cut her off.”We know what you just meant.We shouldn’t have been looking at this stuff. It’s private.”
“Private? Are you kidding me? It’s on the freaking internet! Public information.”
“Well it’s private to ME!” Zahara told her. She was getting angry.
“Me too.” Bella said. She got up.”I’m going to bed. I don’t want to do any more research.” She was getting angry too.
Shiloh was getting pissed. “You guys act like this is all my fault.”
“You and your research. You just had to know, didn’t you?” Bella asked. “I’m out of here. Night, Zee.” She gave her sister another hug.
“Night, Bella. It will be okay.” Zahara told her.
“Night, Shiloh.” Bella said leaving the room. She didn’t hug her other sister.
Shiloh looked at Zahara. “I didn’t mean for her to get upset, you either. I didn’t know what we were going to find. I’m shocked too.” Shiloh explained.
“How did you think she was going to react? She’s a kid for christ sakes!” Zahara shook her head.”I’m going to brush my teeth.”
Shiloh watched her sister as she left the room. The last thing she ever wanted to do, was to hurt her sisters. The information was a bit shocking. What really happened between her parents and Jennifer? Shiloh knew that there was a lot of questions, that still needed to answered. And she was going to find them.
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=13
The next few days were awkward at best. Everytime the girls saw their parents, those images of their Father and Jennifer, those screaming accusations, raced through their minds. Angelina and Brad noticed that something was going on. Everytime they asked them if anything was wrong, they would get one word answers. It seems like the girls had to tell Angelina a hundred times, they were not sick.
When ever Shiloh approached her sisters about finding out more information regarding their parents,they said they didn’t want to talk about it. Shiloh e-mailed Maddox, telling him what they had stumbled upon. She sent one to AJ too. He was still in North Carolina at his basketball camp.
It was a early afternoon, Bella was at their other home horseback riding. Shiloh was on one the decks. She could see Zahara below, lying out on the beach. She was reading a book. Shiloh had her laptop. She was about to turn it on, but Angelina came outside to join her.
“Hey honey.” Angelina said to her.
“Hey Mom.” Shiloh said. She looked at her mother. She was trying to find something, anything.
“What are you doing?” Angelina asked her as she sat down on a chaise lounge.
“Oh, nothing.” Shiloh told her.
Angelina shook her head. “What is with you guys?”
“Who?” Shiloh asked.
“You and your sisters. Who else? For the past few days, you guys have been acting like zombies. Every time I ask Zee, if there’s anything wrong, she gives me a one word answer. Bella looks like she’s on the verge of crying. And you have been suprisingly quiet.” Angelina layed it all out.
Shiloh shifted in her chair. “I guess were just going to miss Zee, when she leaves for college.” Shiloh hoped that would stick.
Angelina looked at her. She knew it was something more. She didn’t want to pry. Not just yet. “That’s all it is?”
Shiloh looked at her Mom. “Yeah.”
“Okay. I’m going to pick up Bella in a half hour. Do you want to come with me?”
“No. I’ll just hang out here.”
Angelina got up and kissed her daughter’s forehead. “I’ll be in my office if you need anything or if you want to talk.” Angelina was trying to give Shiloh another oppourtunity to open up to her.
“Okay.” Shiloh told her.
Shiloh waited for her Mom to go back into the house, before she slipped the MAMS DVD into her computer. She was on a mission. Shiloh felt she needed to know as much as she could, about her parents past. Although she had seen this movie a hundred times, Shiloh felt like she was watching it for the first time. She could see the chemistry and the passion her Mom and Dad had. Their love just oozed out of the computer screen. So this is how the rumors started, Shiloh thought as she finished the movie.
She had to tell Zahara and Bella, they needed to watch the movie again. Shiloh manuvered herself back to the PEOPLE website. This is where she found information about herself. It was very surreal, she thought. How her Mother’s pregnancy with her, was announced. How her Mother’s pregnancy was chronicled. The fact she was giving her Father children, through pregnancy and adoption, where his first wife couldn’t or wouldn’t. How the world was intrigued about Shiloh, before and after she was born. She looked at her first baby photos. She recognized all of them. Shiloh was like a sponge. She tried to soak up, as much information she could.
After another meal where their parents tried to pump information out of them, to no avail, Shiloh called a meeting with Zahara and Bella. Brad and Angelina were in the family room. The girls were once again in the bedroom, that Shiloh and Zahara shared.
“I know you guys think I shoudn’t be prying into Mom and Dad’s past.” Shiloh told them.
“No, you shouldn’t” Zahara told her.
“And I agree with Zee.” Bella said.
“Well, I’m sorry. I think we have a right to know. Their past is affecting our present. I watched the first MAMS today. You guys have to watch it again. Gives the movie a whole new meaning.”
“Really?” Zahara asked.
“Yes. Their chemistry was amazing. You can see them, falling in love with one another.” Shiloh told them excitedly.
“So those stories were true? Dad left Jennifer, for Mom?” Bella asked. “Did they have an affair? He would do something like that? Mom would?”
“Of course not!” Zahara told her.
“Zee, Bella, it sounds like they met and fell in love while they were filming this movie. Dad and Jennifer separated. It appears they were having a lot of problems, way before Mom came into the picture. It looks like Dad wanted a family, she didn’t.
Zee, when Mom adopted you, Dad was with her. He,Mom and Maddox all came to Africa to get you.” Shiloh said.
Zahara began to smile a little.”Really? He was with her?”
“Yes. They weren’t married yet. But they were obviously together.” Shiloh told her.
Zahara began to feel a little better. It was actually the first time she had smiled, in days.
Shiloh continued on. “It seems like once Dad wasn’t with Jennifer anymore, he went after Mom. Zee, you, Dad, Mom, and Maddox, all became an instant fanily. By the end of the year, Dad started the process to adopt both you and Maddox.”
“”Really?” Zahara asked again.
Shiloh shook her head, smiling. She was really glad that she found this information, especially for Zee’s sake. “It seems like there were a ton of rumors, that Dad cheated on Jennifer with Mom. But, that’s all they were, rumors. Nasty rumors.”
“Really?” Bella asked in a small voice.
“Really. It was such a hot debate, topic for a couple of years, if you can believe that. Fans of Jennifer’s called Mom and Dad all kinds of names. Pretty sad. I guess when the GOLDEN COUPLE broke up, her fans went psycho. When Mom and Dad got together, they just *******, freaked out.”
“Why?” Bella asked.
“I don’t know.” Shiloh told her. “Mom and Dad’s fans stuck by them through all of this. They had some incredible fans back then. Loyal, very loyal.”
“They still do.” Bella said smiling. She was starting to feel better. Those horrible things people said about their parents, really scared her. Accusing Mom and Dad, doing the unthinkeble? Dad being with another woman, when he was still married and living with Jennifer? And that other woman, being Mom? No way her parents would do anything like that. She thought proudly.
“I found this interview Jennifer did with VANITY FAIR, right after her and Dad broke up. But I haven’t read it yet.” Shiloh told them.
“That rag?” Zahara asked.
“My thoughts exactly.” Shiloh agreed with her sister.
“Hey Shi? When did Mom win her second OSCAR? Was it it 06 or 07?” Bella asked.
“I think 2007.”
“Are you sure?” Bella asked.
“Look it up. That’s what you love to do now.” Zahara teased her.
“Oh, yeah.” Shiloh said smiling. She went on the IMDB.COM website, she typed in Angelina’s name. Shiloh looked for the OSCAR information. She scanned and then stumbled on some information, she never seen before. Shiloh started to read…….
“Well, was it 06 or 07?” Zahara asked her.
Shiloh wasn’t paying any attention. She was reading things about her Mother, that she had no idea.
“Oh, ****!” Shiloh said out loud.
http://www.brangelinaforever.com/EAFanFictions/viewstory.php?sid=83&textsize=0&chapter=15
Shiloh Jolie Pitt could not believe what she was reading about her mother. Some of this stuff did not make any sense.
“Shi, What’s wrong?” Zahara asked.
Shiloh looked at her older sister. There was no way her sisters would be able to handle, this relevation. She looked at Bella. Zahara was right. She was only a kid. The information they found out about their parents and Jennifer, scared Bella.
“Shi?” Zahara asked again.
“Guys, there’s some stuff here about Mom, before she met and married Dad.” Shiloh told them.
“What kind of stuff?” Bella asked.
“Yeah come on Shi. What is it?” Zahara asked her.
“If I tell you, your not going to get mad at me?” Shiloh asked looking at both of her sisters.
Zahara looked at Bella, then back at Shiloh. “Bella?” Zahara asked.
“I want to know.”
“Mom was married before she met Dad.”
“Married? That can’t be. She’s never told us she was married before.” Zahara said.
Shiloh continued on. “Guys, she was married twice, before she met Dad.”
“WHAT?” Bella almost sceamed.
“TWICE? To who?” Zahara demanded.
“Both were actors, she met on movies that they were filming. The first guy was Jonny Lee Miller. Let’s see from March 28,1996 until February 3, 1999. They were filming the movie HACKERS.”
“I can’t believe this. How come she never told us?” Bella asked with anger in her voice.
“She wore black leather pants, and a shirt where she painted his name, in her blood.” Shiloh read out loud.
“What?! Blood, her blood on a shirt when they got married? Your making this up.” Zahara accused her.
“It’s right here. They remained friends after the marriage ended. Well, that’s something.”
Bella walked over to Zahara’s bed and sat down. Her head was spinning with so many emotions.
Shiloh continued on. “She met her second husband while they were filming the movie PUSHING TIN, Billy Bob Thornton. What kind of name is Billy Bob? They were married May 5,2000 in Las Vegas.”
“Same year that Dad married Jennifer.” Zahara pointed out.
“Are there any pictures of him?” Bella asked. “Of both of her husbands?” God. That sounded so weird to her. Their mother had been married three times.
“Let me see. I’ll go to the PEOPLE website again.” Shiloh manuvered through the website. Unlike the images they saw of their Father and Jennifer, these pictures were completely different.
The girls were completely shocked when they laid their eyes on Billy Bob Thornton, the very first time.
“Oh my God!” Shiloh said with suprise in her voice. “Look how old he was?”
Zahara was shaking her head in disbelief. Where their Mom looked beautiful, she couldn’t believe the man she was hugging. “Look at him. GROSS!”
“Bella, you have to see these.” Shiloh told her.
Bella came back to where the girls were. She looked at the computer screen. “He’s so old looking.”
The images of their Mother and Billy Bob Thornton, showed them doing the same thing: Kissing and hugging, in almost every picture. RED CARPET EVENTS. MOVIE PREMIERES. RESTAURANTS. They were basically joined by the lips. It went on and on.
“That’s disgusting. Look at her. She’s hanging all over him.” Bella said.
Zahara really didn’t know what to say. The man looked absolutely creepy. Nothing at all like Daddy.”Are there any pictures of her first husband?” Zahara couldn’t believe she just asked that question. In less than an hour, they had found out that their Mom was twice divorced, before she met and married their Father.
“Um, let me check.” Shiloh told her. “Let’s see….Oh, here’s one.” Shiloh told them. It was a picture of Jonny and Angelina, when they attended the GOLDEN GLOBES one year.
“At least he looks normal. He’s kinda of cute. ” Shiloh said.
Zahara and Bella looked at the picture. They did think Jonny was cute.
“I’m going to ‘google’ Mom. Let’s see what else we can find.” Shiloh told them.
The Jolie Pitt Girls, knew there was no turning back. They were in too deep. As hurtful and shocked they were, they needed to know more. Shiloh typed in Angelina’s name, without Pitt. She scanned over the familar information. Suddenly, she saw headlines about Billy Bob and their Mom:
BILLY BOB THORNTON, ANGELINA JOLIE MARRY IN VEGAS.
BILLY BOB THORNTON, ANGELINA JOLIE GET MATCHING TATTOOS.
ANGELINA JOLIE, BILLY BOB THORNTON, WEAR EACH OTHER’S BLOOD.
ANGIE AND BILLY? HOLLYWOOD’S WEIRDEST COUPLE?
DID ANGELINA STEAL BILLY BOB FROM HIS GIRLFRIEND?
ANGELINA JOLIE, BILLY BOB THORNTON, PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION. IS IT TOO MUCH?
ANGELINA COLLECTS KNIVES.
ANGIE AND BILLY: TOO SEXY?
ANGELINA WEARS BLOOD SOAKED SHIRT ON HER WEDDING DAY.
ANGELIN AND JONNY REMAIN FRIENDS.
It just went on and on, and on.
“What the **** kind of marriage did they have?” Shiloh asked.
“It looks like a weird one. Now we know how those rumors started on MAMS. When did she adopt Maddox? Was she married to this guy?” Zahara asked.
“She adopted Mad in 2002. So she had to be with this man. Was this Mad’s Dad, before Dad?” Bella asked them.
“Let’s see.” Shiloh could not believe the stuff they were finding out. They knew about her tattoos. That was no biggie. They knew about the knives collection..AJ found it fascinating. It was the other stuff, that blew them away. Shiloh scrolled down the screen, scanning. “Hey. I found something. Mom’s first interview with INSIDE THE ACTOR’S STUDIO. It was back in 2005. Maybe this will give us some more answers.”
For the next forty five minutes, they learned even more . Information, they were not ready to hear.
WHAT THE **** WAS THAT?” Shiloh said out loud, as she turned off her computer.
Shiloh, Zahara, and Bella had just finished watching their Mother’s INSIDE THE ACTORS’S STUDIO 2005 interview. It was one of Angelina’s best interviews. As she had in the past, she was always open about her life. Sometimes her honesty, backfired on her. Her words were often misqouted, twisted, taken out of context. It was during this interview, that Angelina was honest about her issues with:
Cutting/self mutalation.
Her first sexual experince at fourteen, her live in boyfriend.
Understanding addictions, in all forms.
The nasty rumors regarding her Oscar kiss with brother, James Haven.
Her lesbian affair with her FOXFIRE co-star, Jenny Smitzu.
Her daughters had just come into contact, with all those revelations. They were in complete utter shock. Finding out that their mother had been married twice before, she met their Father, that was nothing. Finding out that the world at one time, thought their parents were having an affair, that was nothing. Hearing that your Mother once had a sexaul relationship with another woman, that was something.
“Can you believe this ****?” Shiloh was still the only one, that had actaully said something, after the interview was over. She looked at Bella and Zahara. They didn’t know what to say. Zahara looked at Bella, she had started to cry again.
“Bella, it’s going to be okay.” Who was she kidding? She felt like crying too. She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes.
“Hello? I’m asking you guys a question.”Shiloh was almost yelling.” I was taken back that Dad used to be with Jennifer. At least he was having sex, with the opposite sex. Unlike our dear Mother! She was ******* this Jenny person!” Shiloh began to laugh sarcastically.”Both of our parents, have ex-wives and girlfriends, name Jenny! WHAT THE **** IS THAT?!!! Shiloh felt tears burn her eyes. She walked over and sat on her bed. She did the only thing, she could do. She began to cry.

Brad was in the kitchen fixing breakfast. The bacon was sizzling on the stove. He began breaking eggs in a bowl,getting them ready, so he could scamble them. He had already cut a variey of fresh fruits. Angelina joined him in the kictchen. “Something smells good, Mr Pitt.” She said smiling. She walked over toward Brad, and gave him a kiss, on his soft lips.
“I know. It’s you.” Brad said smiling.
“I think it’s the bacon.” Angelina told him smiling. She was getting the orange juice, out of the refrigerator.
“Girls aren’t up yet?” Brad asked.
“No. Not yet. I’m not suprised. I heard them up past midnight. Sounds like they were arguing about something. Baby, I’m really getting worried. Something is going on between them.”
“I know.” Brad began to effortlessly scramble the eggs.”I asked each one of them, if there was anything going on, and they tell me nothing’s wrong. I know they’re lying. I can see it in their eyes.”
Angelina began to pour the juice into some glasses. “I hear it in their voices. I don’t like prying, but I’m so close to confronting all of them.”
Zahara was making up her bed. She had so many thoughts running through her head. She didn’t get that much sleep, last night. She looked over at Shiloh, she was still lying in bed, her face, facing the wall. When Shiloh broke down in tears last night, it absolutely broke Zahara’s heart.
She was thinking about their Mom. The interview was very revealing. It shocked her. But, Zahara was thinking about the other parts of the interview. The way her face lit up, when she talked about Maddox, her passion for flying and all the amazing work she has done over the years, with the UNHCR.
“You awake?” Zahara asked Shiloh.
Shiloh rolled over and looked at her big sister and rubbed her eyes.”Yes, I’m awake.”
There was a knock on the door. “Who is it?” Zahara asked.
“It’s me. Bella answered. She opened the door and walked into the room. She sat on Shiloh’s bed. She still had on her pajamas. “Morning.”
“Morning. Did you get much sleep last night?” Zahara asked her. She had finished making up her bed.
“A little. I just kept on thinking about Mom and Dad.” Bella told her.
“Join the club.” Shiloh said as she got out of bed.
“I don’t know. It’s just so weird. Learning all of this stuff about her.Her previous marriages and all that other stuff. I just don’t know.” Bella said with confusion in her voice.
“Weird? That’s the understatement of the year.” Shiloh said to Bella. “From having a live in boyfriend at fourteen, cutting herself, because sex wasn’t exciting enough for her, probably tried every drug that was out there, and don’t forget, she fucked another woman.” Shiloh said with bitterness in her voice, traced with a little sarcasm.
“Shiloh, STOP!” Zahara said. “Yes, she did those things. Yes, they are shocking. Yes, they are horrible-”
Shiloh cut Zahara off. “Oh, I forgot there were rumors, that she was ******* Uncle Jaime! ****! You can’t even make up **** like this!
“SHILOH, SHUT UP!”
Bella looked at her older sisters.”Guys, don’t fight.”
Zahara continued on.”Like I was saying. Yes it is shocking,some of the stuff she did was horrible. But don’t forget about the other stuff she talked about. When she started to travel around the world, and saw all the different kinds of horrible things she saw, it sounded like it was a wake up call for her. When she adopted Maddox, she said that’s when her life really changed. She had somebody else to think about. She couldn’t be selfish and hurt herself any more. Look at all the amazing work she has done for the UNHCR.
Shiloh, a lot of the things she did, she was young. I’m really trying hard not to judge her. That’s in her past. All I know, if it wasn’t for Mom, I would be dead right now.” Zahara told her.
Shiloh looked at Zahara, then at Bella. “Why didn’t she tell us any of this?”
Another knock on the door, stopped the conversation.
“It’s me, Dad. Can I come in?”
Zahara looked at her sisters.” Sure, Dad.”
Brad enetered the bedroom.”Come on you guys. Shake a leg. Breakfast is on the table.” Once again, he felt like he was interrupting something. “You guys okay?”
Shiloh looked at both Bella and Zahara, then at her father. “Sure. Everything is just fine.” Shiloh told him. “Excuse me. I need to get dressed.” Shiloh left the bedroom.
“Zee?” Brad asked.
“I’m fine Daddy.”
“I’m going to get dressed too.” Bella told Brad.
Zahara looked at her Father. She knew what she had to do next.

Brad and Angelina were in the family room. It was the end of week, the weekend was upon them. It had been a very long week. Both of Brad’s movies that he was producing, had come up with some problems. Never again he would produce two movies at the same time, he thought.
Angelina had a busy week too. She was mulling over a couple of scripts. She had numerous conference calls with the UN. On top of that, her daughters were acting, nothing like themselves. In fact, they were acting like brats. Well, at least Shiloh was. More than once, she had to send her to her room. She was being rude, disrespectful, and at times, just plain nasty.
Brad was going over their vacation plans. They were going to spend a couple of weeks at their Chateau, in St. Tropez. When ever the family traveled, he would always make the arrangements. Angelina was reading a book on Dafur. They didn’t even notice, that Zahara had entered the room. Zahara had been thinking for days, it was time their parents knew, what exactly was going on the past couple of weeks. Bella was a basket case and Shiloh was being a *****. She knew Shiloh was going to be mad at her. But their parents needed to know.
“Mom, Daddy? Are you guys busy?” Zahara asked them.
Both Brad and Angelina turned around and looked at Zahara.
“No, of course not.” Angelina told her.
“What’s going on, Princess?” Brad asked her.
Zahara walked over toward where her parents were sitting. She sat beside her Mom. Brad was sitting in a chair, across from Angelina. She hugged her Mother. It felt so good, to be in her Mother’s arms again. She didn’t care about her mom’s past. She just cared about now.
“Baby, what’s wrong? What is it?” Angelina asked. She looked at Zahara and then at Brad, with a puzzled look on her face. Brad got up and sat beside Angelina.
Zahara looked up at her parents with her huge brown eyes. “A couple of weeks ago, when me Shiloh and Bella were shopping at KITSON’S, We saw somebody.”
Angelina looked at Brad, once more.” Who, Baby?”
Zahara looked at Brad then back at Angelina.” Jennifer Aniston.”
Brad slumped a little bit.”You saw Jennifer?”
Zahara nodded her head yes. “She was with Coco Arquette’s mom.
Brad ran his fingers through his short hair. Damn. It was beginning to make sense now.
“Did she see you guys?” Angelina asked.
“No. We just saw her. And of course, that got us wondering about her.”
“I see.” Brad said.
“What do you mean, wondering about her?” Angelina asked.
“Well, me Shiloh and Bella, wanted to know about her, when she and Daddy were married.”
“Oh.” Angelina said looking at Brad.
“Shiloh began doing some research and we found out stuff about Dad and Jennifer. We saw pictures when they were married. We saw stories on how you guys met.” Zahara told them.
Brad held up his right hand.”Stop right there.” Brad got up and walked out of the family room. Zahara looked at her Mom. “See! He’s mad at me”!
“Oh, honey, No he’s not. Were just so glad your telling us this.” Angelina explained to her.
Brad had made his way to Shiloh and Zahara’s bedroom. He knocked on the door, but this time, he did not wait for an answer. He opened the door and walked in. Shiloh was sitting on her bed, listening to her IPOD. Bella was on Zahara’s bed, reading a book.
“Front and center in the family room. Now.” He told them.
Back in the family room, Angelina was looking at Zahara. “It must have been a shock for you guys, to see her in person huh?”
“To say the least. It was just so weird. She being Daddy’s first wife, she not being you.” Zahara did her her best to explain.
When Shiloh, Bella and Brad had made their way back to the family room, Shiloh knew exactly why they were summoned.
Both Shiloh and Bella looked at Zahara, and then at their parents as they both sat down in a over stuffed couch, that faced Angelina and Zahara. Brad was looking at the women in his life. They were so precious to him. Shiloh looked at Zahara. She knew that she wouldn’t been able to keep this to herself, for much longer. Zahara gave Shiloh a ‘Don’t be Mad at me’ look. Bella looked at everyone. All she wanted was to be in her Mom’s arms again. Bella got up and walked over to where Angelina and Zahara were sitting. Zahara was on Angelina’s right, Bella proceeded to sit on her left.
Bella began hugging her Mom and she began to cry.” Oh, honey. It’s okay. I’m right here.” Angelina told her.
Angelina looked at all of her daughters and then at Brad.
Brad pulled up an ottoman so he could have a clear view of Zahara, Bella and Shiloh, who was still sitting by herself. Brad began.”I’m so sorry you guys have been hurting over all of this. I know it must have been a big shock, to see Jennifer.”
Brad was trying to remember the last time he had seen Jennifer. It had been about twelve years ago. It was on a back lot at the WARNER BROTHERS studios. They had been both cordial. It was brief. She gave him her condolences about Tobias. That was it.
“It must have been a bigger shock, seeing pictures of us together,when were married.” Brad told them.
“Yeah it was so different seeing you with someone, that wasn’t Mom.” Bella said in a small voice. She was leaning her head on Angelina’s right shoulder. She looked up at her and smiled. It felt so good to be in her Mother’s arms. Some of the stuff she had done when she was a young girl, she didn’t understand. Why would she want to hurt herself?
“All those things we saw, stories about you and Mom, how you guys met? It was awful.” Zahara told Brad.
Shiloh looked at Brad and Angelina. “So exactly how did you guys meet? How did those rumors start?”

Brad looked at his middle child. He still remembers the day, Angie told him she was pregnant with her.It was one of the happiest days in his life. “We met while we were filming the first MAMS. Me and Jennifer were having a lot of problems in our marriage.”
“What kind of problems?” Shiloh asked.
Brad knew one day that he would have this conversation with his children, he just wasn’t quite prepared, as he thought he would be. “Communicating with one another. We both wanted different things out of life. We started growing apart.” Brad did his best to try to explain.
“Like you wanted children, and she didn’t?” Zahara asked.
“That was part of it. It was so complex. We both realized that we just weren’t good for one another.”
“So, Mom had nothing to with it? She didn’t break up your marriage?” Shiloh asked as she looked at Angelina.
“Absolutely not.” Brad told her. He looked over at Angelina. “Me and your Mother became very good friends. Actually, your Mother, Me and Maddox, became very good friends. That friendship turned into something else.I fell hopelessly in love with your Mother. Me and Jennifer decided to separate. Everyone thought I left Jennifer for your Mother. Your grandparents even thought so, at first. Meeting and falling in love with your Mother, had nothing to do with Jennifer. Your Mother and I, did not have an affair. I swear to you, on my life.”
“Really?” Bella asked in a small voice.
“Really.” Brad said with a little smile on his face.
“Shiloh found some information about when you were separeted and when you were divorced.” Zahara hesitated.”Were you really with Mom, when you adopted me? Did you really come to Africa?” Zahara asked her father. She needed to hear the truth, from him.
“Yes, honey I did. Once Jennifer and I were separeted, I went after exactly what I wanted. I wanted a life with your Mother and brother. When Jennifer filed for divorce, that is when your Mother and I got together. Not before hand, when the papers were filed. We all went to Africa to get you. Me and your Mom adopted you together. Since I was still lea
