AWWW! I love the picture of Pax posted at 743! What a little cutie-pie. I imagine the JPs are laying low, possibly still in Missouri, to celebrate his birthday. Hope it’s a happy one.

I don’t see why. I see everything as win win for everyone, including the studios. The problem may be if the strike ends soon and then they start tweaking with the script as they go along. RC may not be a happy camper then. He singned on for the script that there NOW.

Even though Brad was associated with State of Play for a minute, he still made a difference.
GAC Receives Donation from Brad Pitt Film State of Play
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 14, 2007
WASHINGTON—Global Action for Children has received a $9000 donation from the cast and crew of the forthcoming film State of Play, starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.
The film, which is still in production, is due to be released in 2008. It will be based on the BBC miniseries of the same name, and the cast will also include Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright Penn, Helen Mirren, and Jason Bateman.
“We are so grateful to Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and everyone associated with State of Play for this generous contribution,” said Jennifer Delaney, Executive Director of Global Action for Children. “It shows how much impact people can have when they come together to support an issue.”
Global Action for Children, a nonpartisan results-oriented coalition dedicated to advocating for orphans and other vulnerable children in the developing world, was founded in 2003. The organization received a grant of US $1million from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation in 2006. GAC seeks to increase the level of funding from the governments of wealthy countries to orphans and vulnerable children in some of the world’s poorest countries

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.
Aww I saw that, So sweet He said the movie changed His life, in some VERY SPECIFIC WAYS!!.. :)
Here is the link, I hope it works

I don’t think my link goes directly to Brad introducing MAMS but you can click on that specific one from my link,sorry..
piper thanks for the pic,i think that was when they were in NYC

FROM CELEBRITY BABY BLOG: The words in bold are just cute.
What they said:
Angelina reveals that her mother, Marcheline, chose the name Pax before she passed away. ‘She loved that name. He came home, and I couldn’t call her.’
She also says Pax is the wildest person in the house right now — and she has trouble getting him fully dressed. ‘I’m still having trouble convincing Pax that underwear and pants go together - underwear is not pants!’
‘Today was Pax’s second day of school, and the teachers told me that when they went out in the playground, Mad came over to his brother and pulled him around in a wagon. Then later he was crying and Mad patted him on the back. Maybe it sounds like a little thing, but as any parent knows, that was huge news. I called Brad at work. So it’s moments like that where you think, ‘Oh, I might be OK!”
( SINGING )
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

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.
—————————————————————–
Hey juju. Amy Ryan was actually talking about HER filming schedule. Angie said in Nov. 4rth that she still has one month to finish so that means until Dec 4rth .The filming can continue even if Angie has already finished her scenes.
__________________________
TP, yes i know… but there’s a part in Amy interviews that it sounds that she still has some filming to do with Angelina. Here:
Adams said of her role in the film, which has been shooting around L.A. for just over a month. “The meat and potatoes between Angelina and I are coming up. There are some good fight scenes between us.”
I always find it funny, that with so many “insiders”, “sources”, paps, tab… nobody really ever knows where they are, what they are doing… untill they show up or tell it.
765- Angel, the “right back at you” was about having a blessed day, not the bad singing voice. lol :)

Good morning, BAMPZS fans!
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 still manage to find and stalk the JP threads? So tell me that they are not obssessed!!!
$9000 is a huge amount of money in a 3rd world country. It can do a lot there.
NEW THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*******************************************************
This tells a lot from where you are from with that ungrateful attitude. It’s the gesture that counts. The recipients are grateful, that’s also what counts. It’s not what you think. Anyone with education will realize that the recipient’s gratitude & appreciation are all that matters.
There is a new Pax Thread!!!!
