Brad Pitt @ Regis & Kelly
Brad Pitt, in his signature newsboy cap, signs some autographs for fans in NYC Monday morning outside of ABC studios after an appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly!
The 43-year-old father-of-four promoted his “Make it Right” project for the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
Brad’s interview on Regis & Kelly is expected to air next Monday morning (Christmas Eve), Dec. 24. A performance by the cast of “High School Musical: The Ice Tour” will also air later in the show. (Angie picked up the The High School Musical East High Yearbook Dress-Up Collection for Halloween!)
Brad turns 44 tomorrow! Happy Birthday, William Bradley Pitt!

Did you see where he talked about becoming a father and how he said he hadn’t really thought about it all that much. (in terms of what kind of father he’d be) but he knew he wanted it to be when it was right. And he said obviously it’s right (now meaning having children with Angie) it was very sweet and he had a smile ear to ear
++++++++++++
Yeah. He emphasized that he knew when it would be right…and X weren’t it. BBBBWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

I am happy for your friend. Gentilly was a vibrant area of the city with many homeowners who took great pride in their homes.
What you said about the Lower Ninth Ward is so true. One of the main problems people now face in that area (also in other parts of NOLA) is that homes were just passed down informally from generation to generation without going to court and formal Probate proceedings to get clear title to the land when the owner died. So the land where a home once stood legally belongs to someone who lived as much as 80-90 or more years ago. I am concerned that people may now lose the “homestead” that their families had for many years to those who come into the area and see an economic opprotunity and know what needs to be legally done as to securing the title to land. Again a sad legacy of the whole Katrina tragedy.

Terence Malick. He’s the director whose style AOJJ is being compared to.

I do not see the HM talent but her dad had marketed her well, and the Disney tiein is magic.
Joe Simpson is still making money off his daughters in their mid 20’s, and look at all the money BSpears still has, which sadly at the rate she is spending she may be broke in a very few years.

I’ve been reading the opinions of many regular posters about what is not happening in NO for a while. I didn’t have an opinion about Bush failing certain people in NO because they were poor or black or what ever. Perhaps Bush and the local government and authorities are just incompetant which isn’t the same as not caring. You can care but still flounder around - at least in the short term.
However, over the last few weeks, as I’ve read more and done some research, I’m now inclined to agree with you. it seems to me this isn’t a simple case of incompetance as much as it is deliberate avoidance of resolving a problem. It’s as if the authorities just wish the poorer areas of NO will just go away. but at the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, I must ask this question:
if certain low lying areas of NO is not rehabilitated, how might someone, stand to gain at a later stage? Could the area be purchased by local authorities or developers at a cheap price and then used to build something worth a lot more money? Or do the authorities just hope that if no decision is truly made to either rehabilitate or abandon the lower lying areas of NO, then:
(a) the authorities don’t have to spend any money on the levees to improve flood safety; AND
(b) the authorities don’t have to pay compensation to the land owners. typically the land is not insured, only the value of the house is. So, if you don’t make a decision about whether to encourage people to come back, you also don’t make a decision to compensate for the loss of the land.
And of course, years later, the authorities can buy the land at cheap valuations and sell them to someone else or do something with it? conspiracy or not??

I like that Brad gave his side of the story. Good for him. Also Brad said he is working on a Terry Merrick (sp) movie.

I can only assume that’s what it’s going to be. Malick isn’t exactly prolific. He makes maybe 1 movie every 10 or 20 years! LOL! IIRC at one point he went like 20 years without making a movie. Actors would kill to work with the guy.
BTW - Brad working with Sean Penn? ROTFL…especially since he just bailed on SOP with Robin Wright Penn as his love interest. But…I think he and Sean Penn would be an interesting combo. I think I saw in the IMDB that Heath Ledger is attached to this project, too. If so, he’d better clean up his coke habit. Malick doesn’t put up with much BS. He’s even stricter than Clint Eastwood.

When Brad was speaking about Clooney and the million dollars, I thought he meant Clooney gave to the Katrina Fund right after the strom hit. But that he expects Clooney to adopt a home because he is a good guy
++++++++++++++++
I just got through watching it for a second time on my other PBS station and I think you’re right. He either said Porgie put a mil into the Katrina Fund or the Not On Our Watch (Darfur) fund. Charlie Rose was talking so damned much I couldn’t quite tell what Brad said.
happy b day bradley

Everybody involved in this — the pimps who sell the kids and the guys who buy the kids — should be tied up and slowly tortured to death.

You are on the right track. If the Corps of Engineers do the job they should this time with the levees and restoring the marshlands and closing a canal cut through that served as a path for waters to rush into NOLA, then the protected land that people have given up on and sold for a few pennies can be developed and much money made. This is reality.

That 15 year old megastar Hannah Montana will be a played-out has-been by the time she is 20.
+++++++++++++++
LOL! Maybe not, Jill. Her father has been there and done that and he seems rather determined to keep her from making the same mistakes he made. Which, natch, means he’s so strict on her she’ll be a knocked up cokehead by this time next year….
I don’t know how much I’ll be around tomorrow, so I’m going to send my B-day wishes to Brad now…
So Happy Birthday to Brad! It’s nice to see the guy FINALLY looking happy and fulfilled!

WGA has denied a waiver for the GG. So if the strike is not over, actors will not cross the picket lines.
http://www.variety.com/awardcentral_article/VR1117977878.html?nav=news&categoryid=1983&cs=1
WGA rejects waiver requests
Offers included clips, writing for awards telecasts
12/17/2007
The Writers Guild of America has turned down requests for waivers for Oscars and the Golden Globes.
WGA West president Patric Verrone rejected the requests Monday, due to the guild’s seven-week strike against studios and networks.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had asked for permission from the WGA for use of clips during the Feb. 24 Oscar telecast. **** Clark Prods. and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had requested a waiver to allow writers to work on the Jan. 13 awards show.
**** Clark Prods. released a statement indicating that it will try another route to keep its show from being picketed by making negotiating an agreement as an indie producer.
“The Golden Globe Awards, which has a long and friendly relationship with the Writers Guild of America, is obviously disappointed that the WGA denied its request for a waiver,” it said. “However, we are encouraged by the fact that the WGA has announced that it plans to negotiate agreements with independent production companies. Therefore, we will attempt to reach some type of agreement with them on behalf of the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards, which will recognize and honor outstanding achievements in both movies and television programming made before the strike.”

****************************************************
In a nutshell, you said it all. As to your excellent questions, I’m afraid I have no answers. But it sure as hell looks like a conspiracy of sorts to keep the “riff-raff” (i.e. the poor people) out of New Orleans and make it over into what they think a city should be. It’s not so much a race thing as a class thing; they have no problem with blacks moving back in, as long as they bring money with them. They don’t mind blacks moving back home like my friend in Gentilly who is college-educated and has a good job. But the poor who were displaced, they don’t ever want them back. There is no new housing being built in New Orleans that the working poor can afford; what is being built are condos for the upper middle class. And since the vast majority of people displaced by Katrina were poor blacks, they are the ones who are going to be permanently shut out. You can draw your own conclusions.
hi everybody, ( who is still up ) i am a bit of a night owl, so was able to watch the whole interview. i think this was one of brad’s best. he was relaxed, articulate, passionate and very funny. you could tell he was enjoying talking with Charlie. and best of all, he addressed the SOP issue. he does not seem cut up about not doing it, and other than being a bit angry at the way the studio tried to hang him out to dry, seems quite content with his decision.
the one thing i was a little upset with Charlie about, was the fact that he interrupted some of brad’s answers, so there was a lot of cross-talk. i was particularly peeved when brad was trying to answer the adoption question, explaining the fact that because a lot of countries do not allow not-married couples to adopt,angie adopts as a single mother and then he adopts. we know how some of these morons who choose to live with their heads buried in the sand, insist on believing that brad has not officially adopted maddox, zahara and pax.
he was in the process of verifying that he has adopted them, when charlie interrupted, and the moment was lost. anyhoo, by his words you know he is their father legally , emotionally ,and all the other ways that count.
i see a man who is content, happy and living his life exactly the way he wants to. haters, put that in your pipe and smoke it. angie and his kids are “Home” for him.

I’ll tell you the other thing that comes across very clearly in this show - BRAD IS A HAPPY, HAPPY MAN!
**************************************
Most definitely. And the haters will never forgive him for that! LOL!
Good night everybody, I’m off to bed. Happy birthday, Brad!
i am a bit late to the “guessing the blind item” game, but i think it is will smith. in an earlier post yesterday, she sor of hinted that will “might want some young “b@#ls. and another hint, i think, is the “hit” movie. just my 2 cents.
