Brad & Angelina in Washington DC

Brad Pitt paid a surprise visit to The Washington Post’s newsroom on Friday to research his upcoming role as an investigative reporter in State of Play, a Washington-based drama about hard-nosed journos trying to solve the murder of a young political staffer.

Brad and State of Play director Kevin Macdonald lunched with Post execs and reporters, including military affairs and Pentagon reporter Josh White and investigative reporter James Grimaldi.

Angelina Jolie was busying meeting with Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice to discuss her recent trip to Iraq and Syria.

Read the full article on Brad here (it’s a good read).

Thanks to the poor soul who started this conversation about what a UN Ambassador for Refugees does because it gave the fans a great opportunity to explain the need to shine a light on Iraq. While there are some trying to say a celebrity shouldn’t be trusted with this mission, not only is the celebrity doing the job but so many of her fans are explaining what is heppening as well. Good job and it makes me very proud of all of you that argue so effectively for humanitarian relief for the suffering in Irag, Darfur, and New Orleans.

This past Wednesday September 19, in Somerville MA, Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector accused Colin Powell of knowingly lying about the presence of WMD in Iraq. Scott claims he knows this for sure because he briefed Colin Powell before he ever gave that infamous speech to the UN. He once was an admirer of Colin Powell but now he feels that Powell’s lying about WMD, at such a pivotal stage in the run-up to the Iraqwar, made him ‘Scum” and not worthy of admiration or support, regardless of what else the man has done.

COLIN POWELL IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THERE WAS A IRAQ WAR AND WHY THERE ARE IRAQI REFUGEES!!!

I admire Angie and I love her for being herself but does she not understand what Powell did?

Guli, Thank you for sharing that great video (interview). I really appreciate it. :-)

Majority of American supported Bush when he decided to attack Iraq.
Please tell us what do you think about those people ?

Even if that’s true, that doesn’t matter. Angelina has to work with everyone, regardlessof political backgrounds and beliefs … that has influence and may be able to help or do something in some way.

Nobody is fighting, we are having a discussions. I read what you posted, you took a swipe at Hillary & moveon.org, I get their emails. Don’t agree with everything they say, but I get them. You took a swipe then want it to stop. Question, I’m asking this with respect, what has Hillary done that is so bad? I really don’t get it. Maybe I’m missing something, I’m not all knowing! LOL I really would appreciate hearing your views. Not trying to fight, just asking. Thanks

Honestly, I think that Warners and Plan B (if they had any say in it) are trying to take an old school approach to releasing movies. Before multiplexes and staggered multiple showings of ‘blockbusters’, theaters would just show the movie for months and months, giving word of mouth a chance to grow. Now, it’s about getting the big score in the first weekend.

Sheri, I think a lot of people are threatened by what Hillary is, not by anything she says or does. She is an extremely smart, savvy, independent, strong-minded woman and that scares the hell out of a lot of people who think women should be quiet and deferential and not have any opinions of their own. Americans are way behind many countries when it comes to respecting women’s abilities.

You mean, no one should not talk about world issue with George Bush because he started the war from your view point ?

Puhlease! What hilary has done doesn’t even begin to compare to what bush and his adminstration has done.

Wake Up!! the Bush Administration doesn’t give a **** about Iraqi Refugees that’s why they destroyed and bombed Iraq to begin with and without regard to loss of human life and infrastructure.

It makes Bush Admin. look good to be in the press meeting with a psuedo celeb humanitarian like AJ. That way her celeb psuedo humanitarian glow can rub off on them.

AJ went to Iraq for what 2 days, that doesn’t make her an expert on the situation there by a long shot. If they administration was really serious they would meet with experts..you know people that run the refugee camps that WORK AND DO SOMETHING BESIDES POSE FOR THE CAMERAS WITH THE POOR REFUGEES.
_________________________________________________

The level of ignorance you trolls display is quite astonishing. It is as well that with the internet you can hide behind your monitor and make a fool of yourself without exposing your identity to ridicule.

That two days fact finding trip she took revealed that the Syrian govt are overburdened with the caring and education of the Iraqi refugees and presently refusing to take in any more refugees, Angelina under the umbrella of The UN is trying to help raise about $500m to assist the Syrian govt in order for them to keep the refugee children in school.

Those that run the refugee camp as you put it finally had someone give voice to their issues and is trying to help them raise the money they need to keep the camps open and at the same time help get the children educated.

But I bet you did not know that, all you knew was that she was in Iraq for two days. On 25-26 sept, Clinton foundation will use this year’s annual meeting of his foundation to raise the money and the awareness to help the Iraqi refugees since nobody seems to remember them. Angelina is probably more of an expert than some of the policy makers in DC who are ignorant of the people and culture that their policies will affect.

Next time, try to get informed before you post your trite, then again, that is asking too much of you stupid trolls, why would you ever let the truth get in the way of your Angelina bashing.

Hillary and Angie are strong women. I think people are scared of them.

In his biography “Soldier: The Life Of Colin Powell” the ex-Secretary of State said that he was “callously” used by the White House and he regrets his infamous U.N. appearance as a “blot”
on his record. He says “if I had known there were no stockpiles, I never would have said there were stockpiles”.

It is unfortunate that such a respected man (althoug Republican that he is) has lost all creditbility due to GW. He was fired because he realized it too little too late.

Still that should not discredit his contributions to refugees worldwide and our history. Isn’t the heart of UNHCR all about “second chances.”

I admire Angie and I love her for being herself but does she not understand what Powell did?
====================

Colin, Rice and Bush are the axis of evils.

I think Angie understands, but sometimes you have to work with powerful enemies to solve problems. I guess that’s called diplomacy.

“The movie, which Dominik admits is long and has no surging plot, moves at a saunter and lacks the furious gunplay of a standard Western. Both Dominik and Pitt acknowledge it could be a tough sell for mainstream audiences ”

From USAToday article about Brad Pitt

This is why this film is only opening in five places. As it divided critics, it will divide auidiences. Warners hopes it finds enough people who are love this film and will spreads the word.

ITA I have had the pleasure of meeting her briefly, She has come to my work place on many occasions, she is a sharp cookie, but very approachable. Even those who “hated” her had to admit, the woman is amazing!

The reason why Angie does not declare publicly for any party is because she has to work with both parties.

Err…excuse moi but this so called tibit if from the New York premiere. Zeigfelt theater is in NY.And that’s where Brad talked to the MTV reporter. Although I never heard him saying anything like what the writer of this article quoted him as saying in the video where he talks to the MTV reporter. There was no premiere in L.A yesterday. No matter how quite a premiere is there is no way that not one single picture wouldn’t have appeared somewhere.

BRAD MUST BE REALLY PROUD OF ANGELINA, SHE GETS TO MEET PEOPLE, WHO ARE WELL RESPECTED IN THE WORLD, PEOPLE CAN HATE AND SAY EVERY BAD WORD THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE WORD, BUT HER ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER AND SHE IS WELL RESPECTED IN THE INTERNATION COMMUNITY, NOT JUST IN HOLYWOOD. I BELIEVE SHE IS REALLY SERIOUS WITH HER WORK.

Agree with what you posted except for one thing. He wasn’t fired! Where did you get that?

Hi think positive. How are you doing?

LOVE ANGELINA @ 09/22/2007 at 8:21 pm

Hello, everyone. I just wanna remind everyone who can watch it that Ebert & Roper are reviewing The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, tonight.
