It looks like the Jolie-Pitt may be in New Orleans On December 3rd.

__________________________

Thanks for the news.
But i don’t know if Angelina can be there. According to an interview of Amy Ryan they still be filming in December. A week and half , i think.

Either way, it is good to see BP marching forward with his Clinton Global committment and his rebuilding effort. I am happy that they are moving forward with the rebuilding of the Lower 9th ward. New Orleans is becoming a viable city once again, but the Lower 9th ward is still destroyed. New Orleans is one of my favorite city and my old stomping ground. I went to college there and still have family in the area. Peace to all.

It looks like the Jolie-Pitt may be in New Orleans On December 3rd.

Only Brad. Angelina will be filming in L.A until dec 10.

you have a lot of insight, good post. Its a case, (sadly) of the more things change the more they remain the same. As an Activist for women rights and civil rights during the 60’s and 70’s. Some of us have not come a long way baby. Young women like Angelina have come a long way (girlfriend fly’s a plane, she is a humanitarian and an activist, a mom and loves her man, all while looking fabulous) Way to go Angie. Love her!

On another note, guli I just saw the video you posted, very hot, I had to open the windows(smile).

Thanks for the info. New Orleans is one of my favorite cities I should state. It is time to tuck it in. Peace to all.

I have a friend who is working on set. Not biggie.

Peace.

senior–well I don’t know about that, but I prefer to just see the funny side of life since it is too short. Why not have fun and focus on the positive while we are here. That’s why it baffles me what makes these trolls/haters tick. I could never live like that. I am really so curious how they can have so much hate and still go on with their lives day in and out ??? Ohhh well, all I can say is, thank God it’s not me :lol:

615. Guli, hehehehe lmao, you got it! Ou lala! Lol 621. The real tita, lol, yeah, you crack me up squashing the trolls. I love to laugh and i have a stupid sense of humor. The first thing people always ask me is how to insult people and say bad words in french. :lol: if you need any words, just ask. Good night everyone! :smile:

Great Interview by Brad. You can see he is comfortable in his skin. I’m so glad Chad Schmidt is on the backburner. Seems like a silly movie to me.

Here’s a early Happy Birthday to Pax.

#620: CMAR, this is where the adage “in for a penny, in for a pound” applies. They have made their stand and they are not about to budge (just like their idol…she’s sticking to her blue-eyed lenses and nobody’s gonna tell her she was born with brown eyes, LOL).It may sound like a broken record but it’s funny how like begets like. The ex fans and the JP fans are as different as night and day ( and ne’er the twain shall meet, I say).

Shitzy stop it,please.why you act like informative person always.and Why you don`t post under your real name,If you want make us believe you.

I think Even If Angie has filming there,she will go with him to support him there.and I hope so.

and Even If filming continue until Dec 10 which I doubt,it doesn`t mean Angie should be there.maybe they will be shooting with another cast.

Nice that Brad’s project is moving ahead. He is one great guy! Love the interviews where he says that “Fatherhood is my greatest role yet”. Also love the interview in London. Miss not seeing the kids. But at least they are having some private time. Wish all would stop with the negatives about X, that is old hat and history.

but I prefer to just see the funny side of life, so do I. So much fun, so little time, laughter is the best medicine! Good night to the fans enjoy the rest of the night!

Count down to Pax’s birthday. This is one of my favorite picture of him and Zee together.

we don`t know,maybe they all already are in NO ,maybe Angie`s scenes finished.maybe she will be filming until dec 10,Maybe brad will be there alone,maybe Brad won`t go,maybe brad and Angie will go together!!!who knows??we don`t have any information.

Jolie better watch out Vanessas coming for her. I would say the same about Brad but Zacs already way hotter than him.

========
Came back 14 yrs or 30 yrs after, and tell us where are your idol ?
teenage heartthrob come and go like a shooting star. the only child star or teen idol who make it really big was Leo D. who had look and was very talented. others sink like the titanic after they grow a little bit older.
It would be more appropiate comparing Zac and Shia LB, which unfortunately, I think Shia has a more upper hand.

I agree with you. Angie will go with Brad. Even she is still filming, she will a day off to go with Brad.

Brad, Pax and Mad looking all cool!

#622: micro, I would have done that too (with a sheepish grin). No, really. If the girl was just cruising till a better deal comes along and here comes this once in a lifetime opportunity…I mean, Brad Pitt at his peak? That Brad Pitt that women were going ga-ga for, with the tight abs and lithe body that guys were killing themselves to have, the A-lister that looked like an archangel (he would have made a very good Michael, no offense to John Travolta) with the heavenly voice to boot. If I was that insecure woman who had wanted to show everybody how I can have this man eat out of my hand, why wouldn’t I go for it? Never mind that the guy was mostly depressed and just looking for a rebound relationship that wasn’t gonna tax his remaining strength and scoop up what little ego he’s got left. Who’s to know anyway? The ex wasn’t about to enlighten anybody.

She got lucky that she was able to guilt trip him into anything she wanted for years. She probably thought she could manipulate him forever but unfortunately for her, Angie came along to break him out of his trance. That blew the taco stand and got her out of business fast, LOL. Lightning seldom hits twice but it seems she’s not done hoping it will again (nor her fans).

why no camera at neworleans on Dec3, 07
