OlderBrad Pitt Goes on ‘Parade’
Brad Pitt tells Parade that one thing that is certain are his kids, Maddox, 6, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 16 months. Here are some snippets from his interview:
On his increasing doubt in religion as he got older: “I had crises of faith. I thought you had to experience things if you want to know right from wrong. I’d go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I’d go to rock concerts and feel the same fervor. Then I’d be told, ‘That’s the Devil’s music! Don’t partake in that!’ I wanted to experience things religion said not to experience.”
On having scuttled his fundamentalist beliefs by the time he entered college: “When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn’t a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self,” he says. “I had faith that I’m capable enough to handle any situation. There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I’m responsible.”
On his faith in his family: “What’s important to me is that I’ve defined my beliefs and lived according to them and not betrayed them. One of those is my belief in my family. I still have faith in that.”
On his early taste with fame: “When fame really hit me was when ‘Legends of the Fall’ was released. You get no warning about what celebrity is or how to deal with it. It’s sort of multitiered. The initial stage is feeling discombobulated and not up to the task. I didn’t understand the incessant attention when I went outside, the way people completely focused on me. It made me very uncomfortable. Then you start to see the fickleness of celebrity that it isn’t rooted in something of real value. There is this strange wanting by people to get next to you. It has nothing to do with you but with something they feel they are missing in themselves.”
On the crazy paparazzi: “I understand the tabloid machine. There’s money to be made off of Angie and me, but it has gotten so out-of-hand. There’s no decency, even when it comes to our kids. I mean, yesterday Angie was taking Maddie off to school. There were 30 paparazzi outside. One guy sticks a video camera in Mad’s face, yelling, ‘Maddox! Maddox!’ He doesn’t get a response. He doesn’t know my boy. Mad is already savvy to this, unfortunately. But my 2-year-old dreads being anyplace there are cameras. It scares her. They’re all in her face. My kids are faced with this every day! It’s disgusting. So we’ve been run out of L.A., all the major cities. We just can’t live there. You don’t understand–this is the hunt, the hunt, the hunt! I thought it might be over a year ago. It’s gotten worse.”

Listen haters, all this family asks is to live their lives like anyone else. The paps should take their pics from a distance and not shout names. I’m sure you think it’s ok to cover children’s faces with masks like Michael Jackson, or lock them up in a dungeon, or you think that movie stars should never have kids? Or that they should leave them at home with nannies while they shoot movies in other countries? Then when they start doing drugs at 16 or get into trouble like the Hollywood starlets we have now, you start whining again. The JP kids have shown themselves to be very well behaved, and their parents clearly love them. LEAVE THEM ALONE, JEALOUS TROLLS, and go mind your own kids.
Time to eat again, ladies and gents. How about some fresh oysters and champagne? Did we finidsh the crawfish I brought to the other thread?
Love BAMPZS. I was going to say the 3 girls are my favorites, but then I thought the 3 boys are too. So, love BAMPZS.

they’ll be about 3 more of these befgore days end.
**************
And you’ll be there posting your heart out.
Lol…Oh Fuggy, you make me laugh. I see your inane posts and I think “how the mighty have fallen”. Honestly, there was a time when you were actually funny, you know but now…now to call you a shadow of your former self is overstating it. Sad, very sad indeed.
I guess there are no babies to pick on today, eh?
Thanks Jared, this was a very nice article and BP looks mature and dignified in the pictures.
I DONT BELIEVE THIS MAN IS IN HIS 40′S.
I CANT GET ENOUGH OF HIM. HE IS INDEED THE MOST SEXY MAN ALIVE. HE LOOKS YOUNGER EVERY TIME. I THINK HE LOOKS EVEN SEXIER IN HIS 40 THAN WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER.
I LOVE A MATURE MAN AND PITT YOU ARE……:):)
HATERS DONT HATE THE MAN.
Angelina did not make him stop believing in God. He was already questioning certain things way before he met Angelina. From reading the article I don’t get the feeling that he stopped believing in anything. I think he has evolved and continues to do so. It is a spiritual journey for all of us. We continue to evolve, mature till we take our last breath in this life. One’s spiritual journey never ends..even in the next life one’s spirit continues to evolve till it gets nearer and nearer to God. All we take from this earth is the good deeds we have done. And he certainly is doing a lot of that here on God’s earth.
He is a good man. He is a sincere man. I would not worry about his soul if I were you.
lol @ mature and dignified. he looks like he’s in pain. I bet they were taken right after his weekly botox injections.
he is really starting to look like a lesbian.

Use your brain. That is if you even have one.
It’s as simple as this….
If a person can’t control EVERYONE else (paps are a part of this grouping) then they should try to control THEMSELVES and the PEOPLE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. That also includes controlling the situations they put themselves in and the places they go together. Did you get that? Do you understand? Stop repeating the party line and think for yourself.
Now why would the JPs live their lives to suit the trolls and the haters? They have a right to parade their kids whenever they want to and they have a right to say don’t take photographs too close to the face of my kids. They are tax paying American citizens who have every right to walk the streets, eat where they want, play where they want.
They may be movie stars but they are not public property nor are they puppets who have to perform on command. If they want to star in movies every other month, it is their prerogative. If they are being paid for it, why not? They reserve the right to turn down or accept any offer of a role because it is their profession.
They have a right to live free and be beautiful. HAPPY BLD, EVERYBODY!!

Brad is telling his story and sharing his point of view– that’s all… “We do not need to judge them as good or bad, right or wrong. We need to neither repress them nor indulge in them. When we have angry, judgmental or blaming thoughts we need no longer act immediately in unskillful ways.”
UNSKILLFUL WAYS: destructive criticism is bad, resulting to insults.
Stop your personal assupmtions and destructive criticism!! Your only interest is to do damage and insult them.
I am sure Angie and Brad know very well that they are not perfect–I don’t think he claims to be or to have the perfect family. He is very proud and happy for what they have. That is how we all feel when we are able to build a solid and warm home.
I`m muslim but it is very old thought that you think all people should accept what their family believe in it,My parent were not muslim and I start to research on religions and I decided to become muslim,and then my parents start research on their own belief and they become muslim too.
so according to you whoever is searching in his/her own religion doesn`t believe in god,It is not enough that people say God is exist you should get to place which believe in God existence.and for many people who are researching there will be place that they will deny his existence and then with looking at human,world they will start to asking who creat this things and then they start to believe that some one with alot of power creat this things,If you really accept your religion just because of your parent`s belief, you can`t say you have one religion because you get it like your genes not something that your mind and your heart accept that.
And who told you that god will only help people who believe in him,God will bless every people in world and he will help them in their own way,If they are going in bad way,God let them do what they are doing and then he will punish them but not in this world and for sure God will help people who care about other people,family,and who are researching in their religion to find out truth.peace to all
GOD PLEASE KEEP BLESSING THIS PEOPLE WHO ARE NICE IN AND OUT.
LOSER:

Happy XLD as well.
Let everyone be happy!!!!!!

Hey LA—-you can post again. Thank you JARED!!!!

Tijen,
After years on this site I have decided not to try and educate some of these fools that call themselves Maniston fans.
Its like talking to a brick wall, just like their stupid idol who seemed very cold when it comes to family but pretend to be this warm family oriented person when in front of a camera.
I GIVE UP TRYING TO MAKE THESE STUPID HATERS USE THEIR COMMON SENSE.
Sorry, Haters:
Angie, Brad & Zahara:

Bai Ling: Angelina and I Had a “Special Attraction”
Tuesday October 2, 2007
Bai Ling and Angelina Jolie
Bai Ling and Angelina Jolie in Los Angeles for the “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Premiere.”
Lester Cohen/WireImage.com
Angelina Jolie is so hot that she even drives her female costars wild!
Actress Bai Ling, who worked with Jolie on two projects — Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Jolie’s documentary A Place in Time says that the two shared a “special attraction” during filming.
“I felt this energy between us, when we look at each other there’s an energy, an attraction,” Ling told Us Weekly at our Hot Hollywood party on September 26. “Her eyes transfer a sexual energy to me that makes her irresistible.”
Ling said that Jolie, 32, made her a promise while on the set of Sky Captain. She recalled: “Angelina said, ‘Next time we’ll play lovers.’”
So did the twosome get physical off-camera?
“We could have hooked up, but it just wasn’t the right time or place. But she told me, “My heart’s open to you.’”
Ling continued: “She is like me. She is totally open sexually.”
The China native said that the last time she saw Jolie was at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
She added: “I’ve always thought Brad [Pitt] was the sexiest man on the planet. So now that Brad and Angelina are together, now maybe I could experience both at the same time!”
(Keep on dreaming, Bai…)
SORRY FOR LOSING MY MENTAL IGNORE BUTTOM ONCE AGAIN,I WILL PROMISE NOT TO LOSE THAT AGAIN SO KEEP CELEBRAITING AND IGNORING THEM.
GOD WILL BLESS EVERY BODY IN WORLD EVEN YOU HATERS OR I SHOULD SAY HATER BECAUSE AS I SEE YOU KEEP CHANGING YOUR NAME.
SO LET`S IGNORE AND CELEBRAITING.
Ange & Brad are grown-ups and can handle the attention that their careers and philonthropic works entails. Anyone accusing them of alerting the paps to their presence or pimping out their kids is delusional. They’re two of the biggest stars in the world and are the most pursued by the paps - even more so than Tom and Katie or Posh and Becks. When these two got together, their star-power grew exponentially. I saw a show called “Chasing Angelina” and it was all about a paparazzi’s attempt to get a photo of her. They have networks of informants that work for the photo agencies that alert the photographers to the presence of a celeb.
They don’t need to generate publicity with photo-ops - if anything, they can’t get away from them.
