Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford on 5th February 2008 priced at $27.95 SRP. Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck, Sam Shepard and Mary-Louise Parker star in this western directed by Andrew Dominik.
Robert Ford (Casey Affleck) joins Jesse James’s (Brad Pitt) gang, only to become resentful of the legendary outlaw and hatch a plan to kill the fastest gun in the West.
A barebones release, the film is presented in anamorphic widescreen with English, French and Spanish audio (DD5.1 Surround) and subtitle options.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAX THIEN JOLIE-PITT!!!!
I just read Lainey’s comment about GP’s rep Huvane. Boy, that guy lowers himself to the level of the tabloids. I bet he has a lot of friends in the tabloid business. No wonder B&A are attacked so much by them.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAX THIEN
733,huvane is a joke,making that speech will make the story more wide spread

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).
————————-
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 !!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
SNORT!!!! I don’t believe x ever tried IVF.

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.
In the tv preview they show Chris McMillan talking .

watch the beginning of this video when Brad takes a sip of tea, He say’s Oh that’s good, the exact way Angie say’s it in Mr and Mrs Smith.
I liked his interview about Jesse james. I also watched the clip of him introducing Mr and Mrs Smith and him alluding to his relationship with Angelina.
Oprah did have Ted Gibson on (who does do Angelina’s hair)he stated that Angelina was his FIRST celebrity client and that it changed his life.Ted also said meeting Angelina changed him spirituality.J LO hairdresser was on,not Jen A.

They are “spilling beans” about how to do makeup. Not about their clients or former clients. These people are professinals in their industry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Went back to Oprah’s site and the following hairdressers will be featured:
Ted Gibson
Kimberly Kimble
Ken Paves
Rita Hazan
Harry Josh
Unless there’s a super secret separate segment featuring Chris McMillan, Chris McMillan is not scheduled to appear on Oprah
BTW… the promo on Oprah featured two male hairdressers talking about specific clients: Ted Gibson (Angelina) and Ken Paves (Jessica Simpson). The blond dude is Ken Paves.

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.
*****
Just because Brad turned it down doesn’t mean it is a bad script. It is just creative differences. I’ts quite feasable that Pitt didn’t like some of the changes that had been done since it was first introduced to him and Russel Crowe isn’t bothered by them - he probably never saw orignianl script - doesn’t make the script good or bad. Just two different people having different opinions about a movie script is all.
Check this link for more info http://www.channel4.com i hope it works!

Good for RC. He did Brad a favor. Now we can close the door on State of Play.
