Brad Pitt Drops ‘State of Play’

Brad Pitt Drops ‘State of Play’

Brad Pitt has dropped out of State of Play and Universal Pictures is currently trying to replace him, according to Variety.

If Brad’s character doesn’t recast and get the picture going by Nov. 29, it will begin losing the other actors in the film and Universal can bring a lawsuit against Brad for bailing.

Brad was set to star alongside Edward Norton, Helen Mirren, Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman and Robin Wright Penn in the Matthew Michael Carnahan-scripted adaptation of the British miniseries. Brad was playing a politico-turned-journalist who spearheads a newspaper’s investigation of a murder, a trail that leads to the fast-rising pol whose campaigns were once masterminded by Brad’s character.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brad has pulled out because of script concerns and the script cannot be worked on due to the writers strike.

Who could possibly fill the shoes of Brad Pitt??

____________________________________________________

Why are you so incredibly DENSE and r*tarded.

OOh….(knocks forehead) naive me - youre a fcukin troll, arent ya?

FYI: What part of ’she-wasn’t-happy’ dont you understand? If you really think you know Angie so well, how come you didnt know that she was yearning for the ideal partner for herself…….one who she SAID also had to be a good father?

Do you know that Angie herself has said that a lot of people focus on her independence and her strenght and fail to realize that she also often feels nervous and unsure about stuff too, just like everyone else.

If you think she was better off without Brad, then YOU DONT RESPECT HER.

Now fcuk off and go back into your hole, little mole.

Secrets from the BFF

Old gossip now leaking, courtesy of her BFF – in whose chair she sat after her split, receiving therapy and getting pretty at the same time. That’s what friends are for.

Only lately her BFF is getting tired of her attitude problem – friendship is apparently on her terms and the BFF is treated alternately as servant and confidante. So since the BFF can be as catty as they come, secrets are starting seep, shedding light on several mysteries, including weight, children, and heartbreak, all pointing to one cause.

Male hormones???

According to the BFF, she took male hormones as a way to stay thin. As a result, she miscarried at least once, which is what resulted in the big break – she lost love because she was obsessed with being skinny…so says the BFF. The BFF also confirms that she has since stopped, which is why her body is back to lovely.

Still…her reputation, or her looks for that matter, won’t be lovely for long if BFF keeps yapping. In many ways, in one very critical way, she needs her buddy more than her buddy needs her.
—————————–

1) We all know the answer is Jennifer Aniston, and BFF is her hairstylist Chris.

2) If according to lainey, she “miscarried at leat once”, (note the word once), does that mean she INTENTIONALLY take male hormones AGAIN, even after the 1st miscarriage? Does that mean she NEVER LEARN FROM HER MISTAKE?

3) Could she PURPOSELY take male hormone knowing she can abort the fetus? Does that mean Jen is “baby murderer”?

4) Who would have the right frame of mind to take male hormone when one knows one is pregnant? I can only say she did it on purpose.

I’m so glad you said that! I really do think she loves him, but has no idea what to do. I give her a bit more of break than most, her childhood. Can’t imagine what is was like, and hey she pulled herself up, on her own. Not many black woman have reached her level of power. Gotta give her that! The way I think of her now though, is like Mad TV skits, the women with the exploding heads! Loves it! Don’t know if you ever watch her program, woman I work with, her family owned the race horse Oprah Whinney, then they sold it, fools! Anyway she did a thing on her show about it because it was in a big race and ESPN was following this horse, they called my friend because she named the horse pre sale, they have offered her tickets to a show next year and a meeting. The main question she has is Whats up with Steadman and are you getting married! Will report the response when it happens! :lol:

Here’s a few more quotes:

“Angelina is one of the most misunderstood people in the business and I have to confess I had my own misconceptions about what she would be like.
She is one of the most level-headed, bright, decent people I’ve ever met and she is entirely devoted to her son Maddox.” - Brad Pitt

“She’s dear to my heart.” “You never know what she’s going to say.” - Brad Pitt

“She’s a firecracker.” - Brad Pitt

“Angelina Jolie, without a doubt, she’s so beautiful and talented!” - Alysson Hannigan [On Switching Sides]

“I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum.” - Halle Berry

“I’m absolutely in awe of her. There’s something about her that tells me, ‘That girl’s my vibe,’ you know. It’s just one of those feelings, you know what I mean?” - Fred Durst

“That is truly and literally the woman of my dreams. Whoa! I think about her way too much.” - Fred Durst

“There are two people that I’ve met that almost made me keel over. Angelina Jolie being the first, it was just when her movie Gia came out and I absolutely loved it. It’s my all time favourite movie. A lot of times I forget that I’m an actor and that maybe someone might recognize me from something that I have done. So I went up to her and said, Miss Jolie, I just have to tell you that I am a huge fan of your work and I saw you in Gia, and I started complimenting her work and I got her all teary! Can you believe that? I made Angelina Jolie almost cry! But then the best was when she said that she recognized me from Welcome to The Dollhouse and then she got me all teary! Then she kissed me on the cheek and I almost fainted. The other person that I met that was the coolest was Lauren Bacall. Wow, that was unreal!” - Heather Matarazzo

“She is very sexy. It sounds like an obvious answer, but there is something about her. She’s hot, I’m sorry. And she’s an incredible actress.” - Sarah Michelle Gellar

“If I was forced to go with a woman, it would have to be Madonna or Angelina Jolie. Probably Angelina. We were staying at the same hotel recently and I bumped into her in the lobby. She looked so beautiful and elegant that I wanted to tell her but I was too dumbstruck. There’s something deliciously mischievous about her. It’s something to do with that glint in her eye. I found myself just staring at her but secretly I was hoping she was checking me out.” - Charisma Carpenter

“I love Angelina Jolie’s work. I think she has an amazing ability to get under the skin of characters and do her thing. I would love to work with her and, obviosly, with Halle Berry.” - Colin Farrell

“She’s so ****ing intense!” - Colin Farrell

“She exudes confidence and has a great body to wear our clothes.” - Dolce and Gabbana

“She doesn’t care [what people think]. She’s out to please herself. I love that about her.” - Aaliyah

“…Angelina Jolie is also somebody who has a trick moreover. I do not know if it is her attitude or if it is her bottom which does that, but she is really attractive.” - Janet Jackson

“Oh, Angelina Jolie…just to sit and stare at her, that would be a nice half-hour show.” - Carson Daly

In this time in which celebrities go out of their way to show how ‘normal’ they are, how ‘just like us’, Angelina Jolie makes no pretense of the kind. Her life is writ large, and unabashedly in the public eye. She doesn’t WANT to be like us. As such, we find ourselves wanting to be like HER. Also, in a time when ingenues are rewarded for cuteness and a certain dewy sexlessness, Angelina projects the most modern of sexualities ” carnivorous, omnivorous, and unapologetic. Most Hollywood actresses cast themselves as the girl next door; Angelina Jolie doesn’t look like she’s ever lived next door to ANYONE. - MARK BENNETT [Casting Director for ‘Monster’s Ball’, ‘The Woodsman’, and ‘Alexander’]

“She’s courageous, she’s brave, she’s just taking on the world.” - Rosario Dawson

“She is up close in person talk about…you know the camera playing tricks she is I think one of the most beautiful woman I’ll ever see in my life…she’s just stunning.” – Conan O’Brien

“I looked at her and thought, Could you get more beautiful?” - Gerard Butler

“I’d like to challenge Angelina Jolie in a game: I did Resident Evil, she did Lara Croft… I think in Hollywood we’re the only girls who know how to use a joystick.” - Milla Jovovich

“I was afraid of her. She was too beautiful for me. She was too smart for me. She had too much integrity for me. I felt so small next to her.” - Billy Bob Thorton

“If I had to get someone I think Angelina Jolie would be worth it, she is really beautiful. She’s tough, yet sexy at the same time, which not a lot of people can do.” - Christina Aguilera [advising Britney Spears on who she should date]

“Someone who’s like Angelina Jolie because she isn’t scared of not being pretty,” Aguilera said. “She’s my favourtie actress. I’d love a role like the one she played in ‘Girl, Interrupted’, I’ve never met her.. I’d be so nervous! And star struck!” - Christina Aguilera [who she’d like to play her in a movie about her life]

“People find it bizarre and extraordinary that we were together. To me, it’s not. Angelina’s image is of a wild, crazy femme fatale. She’s not. She’s a very nice, very generous person. A big-hearted girl. She just says what she’s feeling. She doesn’t get up to any more mischief than your average person… well, maybe a little bit.” – Jonny Lee Miller

“Angelina is the new Brando. She’s not comparable to any actress.” - Emma Forrest

“I would say at the moment the only person who could have played me this past year would have to be Angelina Jolie.” - Emma Forrest

“Angelina Jolie has been so inspirational to me, with all she’s doing in Cambodia.” - Jessica Simpson [speaking about fundraising for children]

“I am also inspired by what Angelina Jolie is doing by traveling to places like Cambodia to help children by actually being there and being more involved.” - Liv Tyler

“I’ve seen her onsreen and thought, ‘She’s proabbly one of the most beautiful women.’ Then I saw her in the flesh, and she’s even more beautiful.” - Gerard Butler

“She is definitely the most beautiful woman I have ever photographed. I thought that she was completely natural. I didn’t feel she had had anything done to her face at all, it was a natural beauty she had, not a plastic one. It was almost like she was so beautiful, she wasn’t quite human.” - GAULTIER DEBLONDE [Photographer]

I agree with you , my take.

I read the MKs captions there off and on. Not all the time. I must admit he has a way with words, but sometimes he is a bit cruel and it fuels all types of nasty unnecessary hate amongst the posters.

+++++++++++++++++++

I sort of disagree with this. The people who post on Dlisted are mean without MK’s help. MK writes everything with a healthy dash of tongue firmly in cheek. Yes, sometimes it sounds cruel, but I very seldom do more than laugh at his comments and shrug them off. Maybe it’s because he does it to everyone. I never really feel like he’s picking on a celeb for no reason. Even he admits he’s sick of blogging about BritBrit, but she’s a trainwreck and his remarks practically write themselves. Well, that’s exactly how I feel about X. Plus, most of the people MK posts about are celebs that I always wonder if I’m the only who thinks that person is stupid or off their rocker or weird. So I’m on the same wave length with some of the people. Sometimes I don’t even know who the person is…but his comment still makes me laugh. For instance - Jordan. I had no idea who she was when I started reading Dlisted. No when he comments on her tackiness I at least know who she is. He post about a lot of TRUE D-LIST celebs!

916 my take : 11/23/2007 at 6:08 pm

The pre-Brad Angelina was in a great place. She had her movies, traveled for her UN work and lived quite happily in Fulmer. She was not in the tabloids continously for close to 3 years now. She has not gotten as much negative coverage even in her BBT days. So for those who say Brad provided stability to her life, I have to laugh. She took charge of her life even before Maddox entered it. Adopting Maddox reinforced the positive changes she was making in her life. She did all this in her mid to late twenties. That is what strength of will is all about.
Brad with his pr driven manufactured image is as phony as a 3 dollar bill, a Tom Cruise lite if you will. Angelina wanted to adopt way back when. Now you have Brad in his 40’s suddenly taking up adoption? Give me a break! All of a sudden he wants to fly planes and get tattoes! What a poser. It’s as though he were trying to make himself over into a cool and edgy persona. To me Johnny Depp, is cool,edgy and authentic.
Angelina is REAL. Brad like his X is a figment of his pr’s machinations. Nuff said.
——————————————-
You seem to be an Angie fan. FYI Brad didn’t start tatooing when he met Angie he had some, if you read and listen to his interviews he had a bigger view of the world early on but didn’t have a supportive partner. IF you are an Angie fan, and know the woman is no fool, then you will RESPECT her decision of who she chooses to share her life with. I’m sure she knows more about Brad than you or I will ever know.

ONE SMALL FACT YOU ARE FORGETT @ 11/23/2007 at 6:29 pm

SHE CHOSE BRAD TO BE THE FATHER OF HER CHILDREN

923 mk : 11/23/2007 at 6:14 pm

That’s why I said I don’t read the comments at D-listed. I learned a long time ago that the people posting on his J-P threads tend to come from FF and Perez. I’m not reading D-listed for J-P info and I don’t think MK has any kind of hidden agenda when it comes to Angie. He does’t like her and thinks Brad’s a tool. He’s made that clear. I’m reading it strictly as a satircal commentary on the other celebs. I very rarely (read, never) agree with what he has to say about Brad or Angie, but he does like the kids.

916 my take

To me Johnny Depp, is cool,edgy and authentic.


Authetic? Mr Depp’s PR people work very well for him. You should read Mr Depp;s interviews through the years. He worked very hard to set up his persona.

You’re missing the point - the hair stylest put the RUMOR out there. It doesn’t mean it’s true. It means McMillan wanted to get rid of her and said spread a rumor that would hurt her the most because he was sick of listening to her whine about Brad and treat him like her dogs.

This is another subject we’ve dissected to death…that cold beeyotch was never pregnant! End of story. If she had been she’d have milked it for all it was worth in VF to prove she did in fact want to have Brad Pitt’s babies. So please don’t make me do the birth control joke again!

933 ONE SMALL FACT YOU ARE FORGETTING : 11/23/2007 at 6:29 pm
SHE CHOSE BRAD TO BE THE FATHER OF HER CHILDREN
———————————————-
Very true…the reality is no matter if they stay together for 3 more years or 30, they will always be in each other’s lives as they share children. If she believed he was what some criticize him as she’d have left a long time ago. I’m going to assume Angelina knows MORE than me as it pertains to her man. Period.

Who is this fool (#916 my take : 11/23/2007 at 6:08 pm) who’s talking about Brad taking on adoption in his 40s? What, b*tch, you forget he was married to the biggest FRAUD in H?W? the one whom he begged to have a kid and she always promised him “soon” when in fact, she never had any intention of having a kid?

In fact, one post upthread just reminded us that she is very likely a baby murderer, deliberately injesting male hormone tablets so she could miscarry!

Please tell us which state will allow a SINGLE MALE to adopt a child. I’m sure there are many men out there, yearning to experience fatherhood, but without a desireable mate in their life right now, who would like to know this too.

So even if Brad could have adopted a child on his own - like Angie was able to do, since she is a woman and could do so, while Brad, being a man, would have been DENIED - the law wouldnt allow him to do so. He had to depend on a woman to bear a child for him.

Remember what Angie said Brad said to her when they talked about their hopes and dreams, before they became a family: she said that Brad said HE HADNT GIVEN UP ON THE IDEA OF HAVING HIS OWN BIOLOGICAL CHILD.

So apparently, even if he and Angie hadnt hit it off so well, Brad still hoped to one day have a child of his own.

It just so happened that he WASTED his entire 30s wih a WORTHLESS, LYING, FRAUDULENT, SOCIAL-CLIMBING, PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE B*TCH, the X.

But now, its all good. he has the family he’s always wanted. Angie has the family she’s always wanted.

Now get the fcuk out of these people’s lives.

The skirt is red/black knit. I’m going to wear it with a black cashmere turtleneck sweater. I’d love to get me some Christian Loboutins as well (black with the red soles) but those things cost $700. Maybe if I get a tax refund…
