I think this person is talking about JA being one of the academy award voters, the not letting AJ win part and she is thrilled at JA name being next to Brads at the beginning of this site. Unbelievable!

HEHEHEHEH. You are a sweety and you MAY be right. I hadn’t bothered to try and make sense of the 2nd part of the LOSER’s sentence. Frankly, I think you are giving loser far too much credit if you think she can actually make sense at all ……

Just because Lisa played on Friends it doesn’t mean that she’s team anything. She has never said anything like that and she has been barely seen with X throughout all the years of Friends. There is no drama.
++++++++++++++++
TP has brought up a point that I didn’t even consider - how Kudrow didn’t hang out with X during the show either. Hmmmm…maybe it was because she had a family of her own? Nahhhh…so did Courteney and X still leached onto her like a barnacle to a wrecked ship.
—————————————————————–
Spot on!! Neither Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer hanged out with her through Friends or post-Friends. Perry and Le Blanc did in some occasions but only Cox is the one that can be considered an X friend since Friends and long after and a member of her Goddess circle.
David attended the AOJJ premiere at the TΙFF and some here where like WTF?? Some think that all οf X co-stars from Friends are automatically team X. While the reality is that none has ever said anything like that and the only one that is still a friend is Courtney. And even she was the one who said the nicest things about Brad post divorce. Well as nice as they could be of course.
Hey, I subscribed to Teen Beat when I was a kid. I’ll admit it. Out loud. I was once the girl who wanted to know everything about Shaun Cassidy. I know people want to know about me and Brad. But I don’t want to go into the details of our marriage, because it’s best not to. That’s what helps keep it normal. Besides, there’s enough false information out there to last you a lifetime. But seeing there’s a theme here, I will say one thing. I’ll tell you about Brad’s laugh. I don’t know how to explain it except it sounds like a twelve-year-old boy who just threw a water balloon down on somebody. Just the other night, he was watching the Robin Williams HBO special while I was sending out e-mails in another room, and out burst that great mischievous laugh. I just looked up and giggled.

And Angelina is on top of Brad, riding him hard. Wonder what Brad prefers? Oh, that’s right, he prefers Angelina.

Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience Posts Highest Grossing Second Weekend in IMAX History
11.27.07, 7:29 AM ET
The record-breaking second weekend performance of Beowulf in IMAX theatres provides another example of how IMAX 3D can drive multiplex attendance,” said IMAX Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. “As 3D content becomes increasingly available in theatres around the world, we believe that IMAX 3D will remain the gold standard and continue to be first choice for consumers who want to experience movies in a way they cannot get anywhere else.”
“Beowulf is an exciting picture that is ideally suited to IMAX 3D and the second weekend results show that word-of-mouth is clearly kicking in,” said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. “We’re also very pleased with the international results, which serve as another testament to the people at Paramount Pictures, Shangri-La Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, who have done an outstanding job of delivering a movie that resonates well with IMAX audiences globally.”

Congrat to Angie and Brad.

There’s no point in saying anything to you except to laugh at you. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Please don’t make me choose between Ang and Prof. Librescu. I had to go with him. As much as I really admire Ang as a person, actor and humanitarian, Prof. Libescu’s incredibly brave and sad sacrifice so those weenie students could climb out windows and saves themselves makes my blood boil. All this after he survived the holocaust. He really is my hero.
I’ll vote for her tomorrow.
Great news about the Independent Spirit noms. Great award and usually funny and lively awards show. Unlike the stuffy Oscars. As you all probably know, they have these awards the evening before the Oscars under a giant tent on the beach. They are very casual and people truly dress down. They have to show them on cable because they are rather risque. It will certainly be exciting with the dynamic duo attending. I’ve had really good feelings for a while now about not only Angie’s chances for an Oscar nom but her chances for a win as well. There’s so much more to Oscar than just a great performance or even the best performance. Other factors sometimes to come into play and I think Angie’s got the best “other” factors in her favor. We’ll see.
You know Hollywood/the Industry hates to see its own attacked or treated unfairly by the tabloids. The industry may use the tabs at times but in the end they despise them. This latest Zahara nonsense is beyond unnecessary and cruel - cruel to a little girl. All these bogus stories full of poison and vitriol are just creating a backlash in support of Angie and Brad.
On a last snarky note: there goes the Friends reunion movie extravaganza. Ha ha.
Latest US Weekly cover….
Jessica Simpson is on the cover (about her love life), there is NOTHING about Brad and Angie in the new cover of US Weekly!!
Hopefully now, this R*TARDED poster “News” will NOT post again he/she/it Idiotic “inside” info about this week’s tabloids!!
Now I am out of lurking! Glad to know that Angelina got nominated. Hello fellow fans!
