Why is it Angelina’s fans can’t believe that a few people might not see her as especially wonderful. I still think she is a good actress, but the woman is kind of harsh in affairs of the heart.
Yes I think she will get nominated for Oscar, Globes,SAG,BAFTA,NY CRITICS Society…

Pitt Unveils Sustainable Designs for New Orleans
December 10, 2007

This same model could work in communities elsewhere. To that end, James Timberlake, a principal of KieranTimberlake, says that he hopes Pitt shares the flexible designs with residents throughout the devastated Gulf Coast. “Our plans, along with several others, are a framework for personalization,” he says.

GC goes and he becomes the saviour of the country. There are som comments from readers included that I thought were funny. Peace

George Clooney’s star power illuminates Darfur

Globe-trotter: George Clooney attends a screening of Michael Clayton at the Dubai International Film Festival.

.us Newsvine Reddit FacebookWhat’s this?By William Keck, USA TODAY
In January, George Clooney will make his second trip to Darfur in hopes of bringing back video footage of the land ravaged by famine, disease and warfare. He’s globetrotting, appearing over the weekend at the Dubai Film Festival and being honored this week (with Don Cheadle) by the Nobel Peace Laureates in Rome. But not even a root canal could stop the Oscar winner, 46, from calling in with an update on his commitment to the troubled locale.

Q: First, how did your dental appointment fare?
A: Here’s the funny part. I got a redo of a root canal, and I thought, “Well, that’s bad.” And then (the dentist) goes, “Let’s go to work on this other tooth.” I was going to get an implant, and all of a sudden he’s in with a hammer and I lost a tooth, so I’ve got a hole in the side of my head. It’s really fun. It’s not just pain, it’s got a pulse.

Q: But you’ll be well enough by January to make your second trip to Darfur. What’s the plan?
A: I’m not a politician, so the reason I go is to (focus) attention there. So we’re going to try to get deeper into Darfur; try to get some cameras in to the tougher camps and have conversations. That’s basically all I can do. If you put famous people in front of very ugly sites, people will watch.

Q: I’m amazed you’re even allowed in.
A: If you’re the head of a country who is denying that all these things are happening, then you might welcome me in to say, “Show me all these bad things.”

Q: Is there one familiar face from your last trip whom you’re hoping to see again?
A: There was a little girl in a tiny camp in south Sudan who was holding my hand while I was throwing up from eating bad goat who didn’t look like she was going to last a year and a half. It would be nice if I saw her doing well.

Q: What has been accomplished since you and your father (Nick) spoke about Darfur on the National Mall in April 2006?
A: You want the truth? Absolutely nothing. People can march and pat each other on the back, and concerts will happen, and the simple truth is there’s still the exact same issues going on.

Q: Whom have you met with among the presidential candidates to discuss Darfur?
A: Barack (Obama) and I are very good friends, and we’ve spoken at length. I’ve also spoken to Joe Biden, but it’s an easy subject for all of them to be behind. No one’s for genocide. No one’s for people being killed because of their race or religion.

Q: If the U.S. government were to ask you to take on a more official role, would you?
A: Sure, (but) our government really isn’t in a position to fix things. What we need, and where I’m working the hardest, is to try to get more involvement from other Arab/Muslim countries.

Q: Have you been following your pal Brad Pitt’s crusade in New Orleans?
A: It’s a life choice for him and a big part of his life. Matt (Damon) does that, too. Don (Cheadle). A lot of the guys who are good friends of mine spend a good portion of their life doing this. In some ways, it’s easier for us because we have some financial security, so we can say, “OK, let’s stop worrying about ourselves and look out for other people.” What should you do with all this kind of attention? Should you get out of a car without wearing underwear … ?

Q: No, George. Please. Never.
A: You’ve never seen me. I look fantastic.

Q: How will you be spending the holidays?
A: I don’t do a big Christmas thing. I think Christmas at some point is for having a bunch of kids, so I just get through the holidays. I have a lot of work to do.

Q: Has being so involved with the heartache in Darfur affected your own level of joy?
A: It certainly reminds you to be ridiculously happy with your life. Once you see people suffering in the way these people are suffering, you feel very guilty about not suffering at all.

Q: Except for your root canal.
A: Yeah, I got to go to a dentist. You realize how of little importance the things that trouble you are.

I wish more Hollywood stars would follow Brad Pitt’s lead and help Americans first (New Orleans is still not rebuilt, 1000s of families are still displaced and without jobs, and surprise surprise, neocon fascist Dumbya Bush doesn’t give a d**n about any of it) before thinking they can save the rest of the world.

Maybe they should stick him on a pole and use him for a street light.

Hopefully George will spend HIS money in trying to resolve this crisis not the taxpayers. Clooney, Bono and a large part of the Celebrity group would like to spend taxpayer monies but when it comes to them making a contribution that would make them feel the pain they are noteably absent.

God, keep blessing and watching over the Jolie-Pitt family.

DO ANY OF YOU BOTHER TO LOOK AT THE CURRENT STORIES OR DO YOU GO DIRECTLY TO THE OLD BRAD STORY. DID YOU SEE BECKHEM IN THE UNDERWEAR FOTO? BRAD WISHES HE STILL LOOKED LIKE THAT SPECIALLY THE ABS! TO DIE FOR! YOUR BOY’S ALL WASHED UP COMPARED TO HIM. HOW LONG DID BRAD HAVE TO SHAPE UP TO DO TROY? AND HOW MNY YEARS AGO WAS THAT?

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

Yeah, I saw Becks in his stuff undies. Apparently you missed the reason why Becks is famous - HE’S A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE, MORON! HE’S PAID TO BE IN SHAPE!

And dudette…what’s the point in having abs like that if everytime he opens his mouth and speaks everybody in a 20 block radius has to put in earplugs? Seriously…his voice sounds like Mike Tyson on helium.

BTW - “Thelma & Louise” Brad, “Fight Club” Brad and “Troy” Brad would mop the floor with Becks’ abs.

The Fighter is supposed to begin filming in Fall of 2008, all things being equal and the SAG strike is resolved by then.

Mark gave an interview, where he said that he and Brad were planning on doing a lot of their training together. And the trainer that trained Brad for Troy, is training him for The Fighter, according to the trainer.

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

Is anyone else getting a perverse chuckle out of the fact that Brad is going to work with Marky Mark…and SWSRN worked with Marky Mark on the totally wretched “Rock Star”…a flick on which Defamer claims X let her lezbo out to play with Marky Mark’s cousin-***-assitant (pun intended)…or maybe that’s just me laughing….

merrick @ 12/10/2007 at 5:33 pm

Why is it Aniston’s fans can’t accept the fact that the demissed ” Golden couple” was not that golden, that merger was created by their Publicist, well played by both actors, and helped up by the media.

Why is it Aniston’s fans can’t accept the reality that Brad and his X marriage was just like 50 % of American marriage & 80% HW marriage that just didn’t work ?

Why is it Maniston’s fans can’t believe that a few people might not see her as especially wonderful. innocent victim of her divorce? she was also responsible for half of the divorce . not just 2 % as she said it in VF .

Why is it Maniston’s fans can’t believe that No man will walk out on a solid, happy marriage ?

# 920 CMAR @ 12/10/2007 at 8:04 pm

BTW, CMAR - I like Will, too. I like that at his level of fame he can still make fun of himself and be goofy and NOT worry about how his public image to the point of becoming a control freak. There was a 60 Minutes on him a few weeks ago and you can see that underneath it all, he’s still that same smart-mouthed, fast-talking homey that came out of Philly almost 20 years ago. How Scarry is that? Will Smith has been around for 20+ years!

LOL! Yep…that’s the pic. I should have remembered that Z was pointing at the cameras…again.

cult food @ 12/10/2007 at 8:39 pm The cult lovers on here are a bunch of illiterate zombies….just the kind that Rev. Jim Jones Jolie like…..poor self-esteem, introverts, easily influenced..no wonder you write such childish and stupid things like ‘i adore them’, ‘i love them’ and all your elementary talk. You all sound like a bunch of fifth grade brainwashed teenyboppers.

so true.

I knew someone would say that she’s always been skinny. Her old school fans know that she has always been thin but not anorexic thin. she only gets that thin when she’s depressed. Any old school fan knows this!
