Okay. However, I did say if that was me. If Poor Jen wants to look like a lost, isecure puppy that can’t find it’s way home, then more power to her. I function best on strength and prayer.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I know and I understand why you are coming from. Sorry if I sounded a bit abrupt in my own post. I was trying to be somewhat sarcastic about x and failing.

I genuinely believe that initially, the whole victim thing was a delibrate PR strategy on the part of Huvane and X. She didn’t want to be seen as the beeyotch who lost her man because she didn’t want to have a baby with Brad Pitt. So, her friends in the VF interview were very clear about one thing - how she really really wants children.

So the way to ensure that she wasn’t seen as the one who lost her man because she didn’t want Brad Pitts children, she had to make herself the victim. It’s not x fault that the marriage failed and they didn’t have children, it was Brad’s (and of course, Angelina’s for being so fascinating and sexy).

Check out this website. It’s a very cool idea and fun too. :-)

Here’s how it works…

When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.

The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP).

Oh Great!! I see that we have another “insider” in here!! I wonder if this latest “insider” is going to be as reliable as the last one?? Yeah, i’m talking about poster “News”!! hehe!!

Really, it seems that this people never get tired of pretending to have “inside” information; when we ALL know that they are LYING!!

Yeah, people like “Cory” or “News” are NOT fooling anyone with their FAKE information!!

Brad, Angie, Mad, Pax, and Zee get caught in the rain in Prague video.

lady g, thanks for this. i really like pax’s smile in this pic.

tita, hello to you if you’re still around. have some (rare) free time now. how i miss doing this.

sebastian @ 11/29/2007 at 1:00 am

I wonder what Brad and Angie will do for Pax birthday??, Yeah, i wonder if they are going to have a Theme birthday party like they had for Mad??

643 +++ Yep they are dime a dozen and most of them are forgotten within a few years. Thank you!

Lady G–If I my recollection is correct, your son also will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow. Right???

real tita and micro— ITAWU and I wonder sometimes how she must feel. If it were me, I would kick myself saying ‘darn it I had it all and I blew it and can never get it back’….
JMHO that’s why the trolls can’t move on. How on earth can X ever find any man that could even come close to ‘The Brad Pitt’!!!
Even if X finally finds someone, there is no way he can be compared to BP….So, we BAMPZS fans have to live with the X fans whining and wishing for the separation that ain’t going to happen…:lol:

I think ous best option as always is to ignore them and let the JP’s rub their (haters/trolls) noses in cr@p every chance they get :lol: And the JP’s never let us down did they for the past three years !!!!

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.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BP HAS HAS HAD A GOOD CAREER BUILT OFF HIS LOOKS, IM SURE ZAC CAN DO THE SAME. HELL IF BP DIDNT GET WITH JOLIE HIS CAREER WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE SOME TIME AGO. WITH HIS LOOKS GONE HER FAME,CIRCUS LIFE AND GC FRIENDSHIP IS KEEPING HIM RELEVANT.

GC FRIENDSHIP IS KEEPING HIM RELEVANT.

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

GC? Is this the guy who CAN’T OPEN a film on his own?

======================================================

You are correct and thanks for remembering.

the real tita @ 11/29/2007 at 1:29 am

#629: senior, that’s why I think so many of us are drawn to Angie. She is the quintessential modern woman…sexy, beautiful, daring, involved, aware and accomplished.

It is also why so many are jealous and overwhelmed by her. On top of everything else she’s doing, she’s able to find and hold on to her ideal mate and raise a beautiful family while basking in a successful career. If you were a loser, you’d hate her too for showing just how much of a lack you have in your life. You ask yourself why must this woman have everything?

But if you had an ounce of pride and enough self-confidence, this is a woman that would inspire you to be better than you are. You want to be able to help just like she does and be more aware, more involved like she is. We can’t all be flawless like her but we want to be as elegant and as poised, as fun and as loving as her. As fans, we don’t begrudge her the good fortune, that’s the big difference between us and the losers.

Some of us have gone a long way but there are still those who refuse to get unstuck and move on. Maybe it’s the temperament. Some were just meant to be doofuses.

————————-
You know, regarding that VF interview, NEITHER Jen NOR her friends mentioned any supporting EVIDENCE (like seeing the IVF doc, taking temperature, decorating the nursery etc ) about her wanting babies. Nothing, nada, zilch !!!

the real tita @ 11/29/2007 at 1:37 am

#662: You are honestly blunt but you are way off in your analysis. Brad got to where he is just like every other A-list actor worth his chops. If your guy is everything you say he is, then there’s no need to push him that hard. It’s easy to be famous (see Paris Hilton) but it’s the staying power that matters (see Maccauley Caulkin). Give your favorite about 5 years and then we’l talk. He’s too new to the block and he’s not going to be a teen-ager forever, you know. Look at the two Coreys. Can you tell us where are they now?

662 honestly blunt :
**********************
Brad Pitt becomes such a mega star for this long time is because of his looks, sex appeal, his talent, his personality and his charisma. The whole package. Now he is getting older and has wrinkles, but he is hotter than ever. He still looks beautiful. Zac has the looks which open the door for him. But whether he has the whole package to become long-lasting super star, we will wait and see. By the way, GC is the one who can not stop talking about Brad.

His (Brad) duration in the business says it all

#657: NL! Didn’t know you were here. Kumusta na rin? I was trying to send you a reply before but my darn e-mail wouldn’t let me type a message. Just wanted to tell you that I’m still waiting on the delivery. They said Dec. 11 is the release date. It might not get to you before Christmas but it will get there. Send me another e-mail with the appropriate address, will you please?

So, how’s it going over there? Are the decorations up yet? We already have our Christmas tree up and lit. Santa’s singing “Winter Wonderland” every five minutes (it’s got a motion detector so the kids love to mess with it).
