Good morning everybody!!.
Happy birthday Pax!!. God bless you and your lovely family.

Homeboy Crowe is a scab.

I guess he needed the money more than his principles.

You can forget Crowe getting an Oscar with a block of 396 angry writers making sure they vote against him.

Good luck to him playing Cal.

694,yes he does,but i think he is adding more feul to the fire the way he replied,any way i donot care about that

Says who? the writers strike will be over by december 8. Who is the looking like a fool? Only Mr. Pitty.

704,once a loser always a loser,is so early for fools like you to come here and spread you stupidity

Dont get yourself too angry.

Mr.Pitt did what he believed was the best decision for him. If universal want to have RC play that role with a bad script then that is their problem. Am sure Brad is not loosing any sleep over this.
Russell is not on the same league as Brad anyways.

Go Brad.

WISHING A VERY”HAPPY BIRTHDAY”TO PAX!

On Oprah Today Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie’s hairdressers spilling the beans on Their clients.

709,good day to you too

Good morning, BAMPZS fans!

This must be a happy day for the JPs, with Pax celebrating his first birthday with them. Oh, can imagine now all the good stuff Brad and Angie are planning to make their boy’s birthday a very special one.

Hmmm, this is a thread that’s about 24 pages long, and it’s not even headlined with Brad/Angie/kids’ names … can’t even find it with the archive search. And yet these haters (like #704) still manage to find and stalk the JP threads? So tell me that they are not obssessed!!!

fyi,i donot watch okra

DAMN! someone watch it and gives a recap

I dont know why Aniston and her friends are making a big deal out of Brad dropping SOP. Actors do it all the time, GC just dropped a movie role he didnt feel was right, I havent seen it on every blog, tabloid and newspaper. Why are people going crazy about Brad’s personal decisions? It is his job he can do with it what he wants.

Brad has said repeatedly that eventually he will act less and produce more, so even if he gets less roles its all good,it will go hand in hand with his plans to spend more time with his lovely family. The broke trolls rile themselves up about nothing. He has the money and he sure will not miss a movie to act in if he so wishes. Russell needs this more than Brad, Universal’s reaction amounts to slander. They knew in good time that Brad was not impressed with the final script but they wanted to push him to use it as it was. Lets wait and see how this movie does,, this is one am curious to watch the results of such a rush. It all amounts to greed.

one thing i really love about brad and angie is,if they are not working, they know how to stay of the radar,from paps,i know they will have a lot of fun today

712 FYI : 11/29/2007 at 9:18 am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went to Oprah’s site (decontaminate me, please) and according to the video preview, one of the hairdressers said that Angelina was one of his first clients, which doesn’t exactly say that she is still his client.

And they had 5 hairdressers for the show; Chris McMillan wasn’t listed among the head hairdressers or the as a member of the hairdressing teams, which can be interpreted in several ways.

Nonetheless, I will be going home for lunch and programming my recorder for this show.

energy,the jen hens are really pathetic,am just tired and bored with their same old shi*,

hi piper,hope you having a good morning

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY, PAX.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAX!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good one, Lil’ Bullet!!

Angelina Jolie Gets Her Own Cocktail In Cambodia
Angelina Jolie has been honored in Cambodia by having a cocktail named after her. A bartender at The Red Piano restaurant in Siem Reap created the drink especially for the actress when she visited the south east Asian nation to shoot Tomb Raider in 2002.

Now all visitors to the Red Piano can experience the beverage - named Tomb Raider in Jolie’s honor.

The cocktail is a mix of vodka, Malibu rum and pineapple juice, served with an umbrella.
