Angelina Jolie in Chicago — For Reals

I looked for information about the Today Show talking about “Momma Boys” and could not find it on their site. Does anyone know where it is or the link?
#847 I don’t think all the Pitts were at Mad’s party. I only saw Doug and the boys. Is that Brad’s bg with Angie on her way to the shoot for “Wanted”?

LADY G…WE ARE NOT MAKING PEREZ OUT OF A SAINT. WE HAVEN’T GOTTEN IT TWISTED…HAHAHA…IT SEEMS SOMETIMES THAT HE CAN BE SWEET ON HER AT TIMES WHEN OTHERS ARE TRASH TALKING HER…I REMEMBER WHEN HE SAID HE HAD A HEADACHE AND ONLY ANGELINA COULD TAKE IT AWAY ON HER NEW ST JOHN PICS WITH HER IN THE GARDEN. HE MAY BE THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE BUT GOTTA LOVE IT SOMETIMES…RELAX, RELATE AND RELEASE…

=========================================================

First, could not use all caps it is considered shouting on the net.

Second, as I stated before he will sell his soul for a dollar.

Third, he is no different than the tabliods where Angie is concern — bash her one minute and then praise her the next.

Finally, I don’t understand why some want to promote that vile site in the first place — that’s just my opinion!

Chicago was Marcheline’s old stomping grounds, wasn’t it?

to guli, just found this while browsing.

Nice interview from Brad.

American cinema’s most beautiful mug returns to the screen with his band of seductive crooks, in Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean Thirteen. Exclusive interview.

- Do you regret having done any of your movies?
- More than one, yes. I have made bad choices, been disappointed at some directors, and then, at a certain moment, I thought I had shot too much movies. I suffered from a compulsion that made me shoot two or three films a year and therefore some which I should never have accepted. A madness! Some are dear to me, like those I’ve shot with David Fincher, “Se7en” and “Fight Club”, but also “Seven Years in Tibet” de Jean-Jacques Annaud, the “Ocean” movies, or “Mr and Mrs Smith”. Many others, I have accepted by fear of finding myself unemployed.

- You, unemployed?
- Yes. I had shot some flops, like “Johnny Suede” which nobody remembers now, “The Flavour”, “Cool World”, “The Mexican”, “Spy Game” and moreover I was going through a turbulant time in my private life. Happily, more exciting projects, from respected directors I admire came my way.

We know Brad Pitt, the actor, less so the producer. How are things there?
Producing films is a financial bottomless pit. You stick your little finger in the process and you get eaten alive. But I’m proud of having produced Michael Winterbottom’s “A Mighty Heart”, adapted from the book written by the widow of Daniel Pearl, that was just presented in Cannes. Angie plays Marianne Pearl. I cried at the screening, she is that poignant.

Have things always been clear for you as to your path and all that happened to you?
- Yes. I’m mature enough to take stock of my successes, the movies that worked well, those I’ve believed in but have failed and those I was always sure were going to fail. I did stupid stuff, the media didn’t spare me and cut me down to size. But sincerely when the media are on the look out for the smallest of your gestures, your slightest word, everything you do gets blown out of proportion. I thought I was stronger than the sensationalist press, that I should ignore them and live my life as I thought fit. But everywhere in the world things have become so hellish, so out of proportion, and even so unfair I had to let it go, or I’d have died trying.

Your tumultuous relationships with stars have not helped things…
- I admit my life has not been restful. But what I do not understand and cannot bear is when people entwine my private life with my work. All the events of my personal life, particularly with my ex (Jennifer Aniston), were overblown. From the moment the public is interested in you, everything you do is subject to multiple interpretations, of which three quarters are false and biased.

- Everything is well with Angelina? Because, when you’re together, she is not very smiling!
- She is not one to show her feelings. And she is not going to burst into laughter every twenty seconds on the pretext of having photographers around! Everything is going well and we are as much in love as in the first day.

Do you love her numerous tattos?
Of course! It is body-art brought to perfection. Angie is a work of art: One almost ought to put her under glass in a museum (Laughs)

- Couldn’t you have blown a fuse or, worse, became depressed with the media frenzy that surrounds your life?
- I’ve often exploded, but in private. In public, I’ve the strength to show I can play the game. I’ve experienced the relentlessness of the media for a long time and a certain form of rejection from the professional milieu who had me catalogued and reduced to the “pretty face” shelf. But rather than getting me down, this has energized me and I have fought hard to build a carapace. When you are stalked by photographers 24h/24h, believe me, you cannot behave normally. And I am not saying this as an excuse for some attitude or other. Our contemporary culture builds idols in order to better destroy them. You are put on a pedestal and than the game is to bring down the statue.

- How have you managed?,
By standing back, by retreating from the public stage, by not stringing films together, by taking an interest in the politics of my country and in the environmental problems that should concern us all. That has helped me understand how some things are so relative. And after meeting Angie I became a new man, intimately and artistically speaking.

Birthday bash:

That kiss of Shi’s to her mother reminded me of my daughter when she was small. Her babysitter loved to watch the soaps and she, of course, saw them too. One day she came home and asked me if I wanted to bite teeth. When she opened her little mouth to kiss me I laughed out loud. Ahh the French have so much to teach us!

So sick of them. Those kids are going to need some serious counseling one day.

Interesting you have no problem with the loser that brought over the garbage trying to get something started. I think that tells me all I need to know about you and your post.

884 amore —Thank you amore, Lady G posted several pages ago.
I was gone and just got back so you saved me the trouble of finding it. These threads get so long it is like looking for a needle in a hay-stack?
I still can’t believe I almost mmissed that wonderful interview. Well, when I came back all I did was go thru JJ’s archives but did not read any of the post of course. If I did I would have cob-webs between me and the computer :lol: How are amore?

meli and mary—thanks for the pics. Are they from SB. If they are I won’t have to save them? Geez, I’m gone only for a few hours and there are several pages to catch up with. :lol:

Your gutter mouths tells me what I need to know. Anger and name calling is so classy. But whatever. Continue you 2 arguing by yourselves. Peace.
