Jen’s questions were allowed because he wanted to set the record straight.
1. he had a turbulent married life (talking of a crisis in his 30’s. he respects his friendship with Aniston.
2. Angie is not the reason for his divorce.
3. There is no going BACK. He can’t live without his family.
4. Angie has made him a NEW man (sharing same vision with Angie, the reason why they fell in love and are together).
5. All the tabloid stuff are manufactured and cited his mom to end speculation that his mom prefers Jen.

Wrong.
If Brad had done what was best for his career, he would have stayed miserable in his fairy tale golden marriage.
He would not have adopted children with Angelina. He would not be walking red carpets with Angelina. He would not have conceived a child with Angelina. He would not be inseparable from Angelina for years. He would not have formed the Jolie-Pitt Foundation with Angelina. He would not have made a movie with Angelina as its star. He would not have ventured near NOLA. HE WOULD NOT HAVE HIS FAMILY THAT MAKES HIM “WARM”.
Best for his career Brad would still be residing in the big empty sterile mansion in BH with the ex, sitting on a sofa watching the world go by, going out to eat with the Cox-Arquettes, going on vacations with the Cox-Arquettes, still childless at 43, not involved with any charitable causes, smoking several packs a day with the ex and tanned orange.

LOL. so true.
4Q’s whatever always starting junk.
The USA media will never really post anything too good about AJ/BP. They will accept them so far, but not all the way. Look how Angie’s trip to Iraq was ignored. Brad’s work in NO. Angie’ joing the FRC or is it RFC, haven’t written it in so long not certain. They will only praise them so much. Clinton had to mention these things. They go against the grain. Who is that actress who went with Ellen D. and was found driving in the desert? No one ever calls her a lesbian. Angie has a brief relationship with that one woman and she is still being crucified and called all sorts of names. That happened when she was what 20? I saw that actress on AH yesterday and Billy Bush asked her about her time with Ellen. That is the only time I have ever heard it mentioned since it happened. Different standards for the AJ/BPs. Don’t worry. They will overcome. Peace.
I think we can now focus more on how to watch their movies. If Angie gives a third to charity, we have to make efforts to watch their movies, to keep the charity work going.
Sheri—goodnight! Like I said I am a bit distracted these days, I’ll send you an email, take care…
BTW—you were supposed to back me up re I am officially a ’sista’, aren’t I? OK, I don’t quite fit every catagory but I am in spirit right???

Dude just check up, the pics are in this thread lol
dina #1 said: You know if Brad had said in the V interview that Angie was his greatest love then the sh@t really hit the fan. Poor X was not his love. He didn’t love her, blah, blah, blah. So he said it the way he said it which is saying I left that mindless twit to follow my heart for a woman with something more to do than comb her hair. He said it all in a way that should have clear to everyone. Leave Brad alone the man is a good person. He loves Angie and his family. He is doing things he has never done before. That stands for something. If he is a wuss I’ll take hime. Peace.

Yep. Couldn’t agree more. Do you know one of the things which I thought was really unkind about Tom Cruise whilst he was on that couch jumping tour proving his manlyness and hetero love for Katie? He said that he’d ‘never felt this way before’
at once belittling his 11 year relationship with Nicole,(the mother of his kids no less). Brad, in contrast is doing the decent thing and honoring his past because he knows that it doesn’t take anything away from his feelings for Angie. Which in private, he’ll probably admit, are 10 times greater than anything he ever felt for Jen.
Another thread gone to the haters…I hope not. These are beautiful pics of many different stars. Move on people, move on…
Have you guys seen the new Beowulf?

I agree.
Angie did an interview with a UK magazine ELLE and the US media quoted the “blob”.
Brad did an interview with a Belgian journalist where he pronounced his love and admiration for Angie and how Angie empowers him; yet not a single quote from the US media.

Jesse James to Open Calgary Film Festival
The made-in-Alberta movie The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford will open the eighth annual Calgary International Film Festival on Sept. 20.
“We are absolutely thrilled,” said CIFF executive director Jacqueline Dupuis, who made the announcement at a special press conference to announce the opening gala presentation. “This is a real coup for Calgary. This is a very prominent film that has so many connections to Alberta and we worked very hard to get it here.”
The western, which stars Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck, shot in Alberta — which doubled for the American frontier circa 1881 — in the fall of 2005. The film used a variety of locations, including the snowcapped-peaks of Kananaskis, Fort Edmonton and Calgary’s Heritage Park.
Jesse James, which is written and directed by Andrew Dominik, makes its Canadian debut at the Toronto International Jesse James, which is written and directed by Andrew Dominik, makes its Canadian debut at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday. CIFF will be the second festival in Canada to present the film.
I’m not artistic. So, I’m like looking at these photos and wondering why Mario Testino picked them for his book. I can’t really see any real artistic merit in the photos displayed by Jared.
And except for the photos of Brad, Angelina and the children, showing them in a private moment with their family, most of the other photos displayed by JJ are taken of these celebrities in a public space and well, I can’t see anything about letting anyone into the moment. Know what I mean??

Talking out of your neck, I see?
First of all, there was no Esquire interview, in the traditional sense. Esquire gave him an assignment- to comprise a list of 15 things that everyone should know.
Not an interview, bloa-u!!
#270: If Brad lets go of his career, who do you think is going to finance all their expeditions and charitable endeavors, you?
Why shouldn’t he and Angelina take care of their career when it’s the thing that pays their bills and support their big family? This is their life you’re talking about so they should be able to run it themselves and screw the outsiders. They’re in show business, so you’re darn right they’re going to do PR and try to sell as many tickets as they can to their performance.
Not only that, but do you realize that there are other people who are involved in the making of a movie? Everyone gets a paycheck (even the government) so it’s in everyone’s interest that the film make money. The actors have the responsibility of selling their collective product to the public on their shoulders so they had better earn their salary. How else can they do that without doing PR?
Did anyone read this? I think he’s a man of only modest intelligence.

None of this spoiled the festival. Its attractions were so diverse and rich: if only I could be in two places at once. A scheduling conflict meant I had to miss the last minutes of Pitt’s Jesse James film, but the two-plus hours I did see confirmed it as a remarkable work.
Set in the 1880s, it looks ravishing, with muted tones recalling sepia-tinted photos of the old West. But its spirit resides in the 1970s, when several American filmmakers sought new ways to reinvigorate the western; comparisons with McCabe and Mrs Miller (1971), Days of Heaven (1978) and The Long Riders (1980) are inevitable.
The story covers the final years of outlaw Jesse James (Pitt), the most famous man in America along with Mark Twain. His elder brother Frank (Sam Shepard) having retired, Jesse lives under an alias with his family and presides over the imploding James Gang. Fearing his sidekicks are plotting his downfall,Jesse launches a series of pre-emptive strikes against them. As such, this is more like a gangster film; imagine The Sopranos in the Wild West.
Pitt plays Jesse as psychotic: charismatic, charming and fully aware of his celebrity, but also depressive and prone to fits of murderous hatred. His counterpoint is Robert Ford (Casey Affleck), a whiny, sycophantic young man with a sickly smile, an obsessive collector of clippings and dime novels about Jesse. He wants to get close to the outlaw, hoping his magnetism will rub off.
Director Andrew Dominik holds his nerve, not rushing the weighty, literate script, which aspires to epic tragedy. His major influence is Terrence Malick, and the camera often pauses to take in snowy vistas, fields of waving wheat and clouds scudding across a sky.
The masterful night-time staging of a train robbery by the James Gang is almost poetic. We shall hear more of this brooding essay on fame, legend and myth.

Because that was the condition. You don’t remember do you? wwd had an article about it.
Point is interviews with celebrities are never “free subject” they always get the ok from the publicists, before and after. (unless we talk about angelina)
My roomate made her intership at RS, that’s why I’m telling you this, happens all the time.
think positive, it was working for me when i checked the link. anyway, jared has already added it here.
