174 Hon3stly

hey shitzy!!!stop defending yourself. :lol:

174 Hon3stly
Shitzy is a name give to the lamest, “box office” crying, I love “The Breakup” Movie posts. Famous is a name given to the child hating, woman bashing, “I desire Brad Pitt” posts. Nothing more, Nothing less.

That’s “given to”. You get the drift.

Congrats to Brad and Angie!!!!!!!!!!Loved the Movie I bought it on DVD!!I hope they win every award!!What a performance!!!!

carrie nae @ 11/27/2007 at 6:19 pm

I hope AJ wins ‘coz she gave an outstanding performance on AMH.

I just love her!!!!

Jolie-Pitt @ 11/27/2007 at 6:48 pm

LOL.. This has become a Jolie-Pitt thread.. I was wondering why the last post at the Pitt/Russel Crowe thread was at 4pm.. LOL

bwahaha #184.do really think she can do what brads babies momma did in AMH?F!CKING IDJOKE!

ok everyone i just watched the Jonathan Ross interview w/ Brad on BBC1!!
firstly, the intervew was on a Sunday (must have been when he and Angie were in London for the Beowulf premiere)…and he was wearing his hat!! which i do actually quite like btw He did look pretty tired though, but then again who wouldn’t after an 8 hour plane ride? But, hey, he’s BRAD PITT so the lucky devil still manages to look HOT .
Mainly they talked about Jesse James, but they had lots of clips from many of his other movies, including Oceans 13, Thelma and Loiuse and MaMS! (the bit where John and Jane are at the table about to tango and Brad asks her to dance..i got really excited when they played that clip!! it brought back memories ).
Unfortunately they didn’t talk about family at all and Brad only mentioned Angie’s name once when he was saying how she only took 2 days to film Beowulf while he took like 4 weeks to film some other movie. Still, i love hearing him say her name
Ummmm what else…oh yeah they talked a little about People’s sexiest man cover and how Matt made the top of the list this year. Brad said about how GC was kinda declining in that kind of area lol. It was rele funi, Jon Ross started talking about how he thinks of himself as a fatter GC and Brad was laughing..and then JR was talking about how, as a straight man, he could say that he finds other men attractive (eg. Brad) and Brad was like, “I can’t speak as a straight man”
ok those were the vaguely interesting bits..sorry if its like incomprehensible, I wrote it in a rush!

angie4life @ 11/27/2007 at 6:53 pm

Laughing on the stupidity of fox news reporter roger. Thanks God that those important in Hollywood and that know more about acting recognize Angie performance but do not base their assessment on what undesirable element like roger in fox news need to say.

I think the nominations was well deserved. I am happy for them. I wonder why the cast and producers of I’m not there got some special award from the festival. I wonder if that means that I’m not there is a shoo in to win best Picture.

Hey there wonderful BAMPZS fans! 2 days from now we have more to celebrate Pax Jolie-Pitt has a Birthday! Very happy about Brad and Angies nominations!

Ok, have to answer

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And if it was a negative post it
would be a troll changing names.
right?

Jolie-Pitt @ 11/27/2007 at 7:19 pm

Isn’t it ironic that Lisa Kudrow, a Team Aniston is announcing Jolie and AMH’s nominations.

Jolie-Pitt @ 11/27/2007 at 7:22 pm

I think it was pronounced LUNG, NOT Le-UNG.. LOL!

THINK POSITIVE! @ 11/27/2007 at 7:24 pm

Just because Lisa played on Friends it doesn’t mean that she’s team anything. She has never said anything like that and she has been barely seen with X throughout all the years of Friends. There is no drama.

VOTER FOR ANGELINA, FANS.

ITA

Why don’t we knock off the Team Aniston bit, please. Just because Lisa costarred with Jennifer Aniston for 10 seasons does not mean she is team Aniston. She is a profesional actress. She is capable of liking both. IF not she can act profesional and not show. IMO, I have never gotten the opinion that she was close to Aniston. I think it is only tabloids and few people trying to capitalize over the breakup and Brad/Angelina as a couple came up with the crap. IMO only the gullible believe that there is some Team Aniston and Team Jolie

did u loons notice how jennifer’s name is right next to brads,under just jared . com,,awwwwwww thats so cute,, da way it should be. ,,jen will never let aj win ,,jen will win for her old movies be4 dat happens.
