Angelina Jolie is a Helmet Head
Thu, 07 February 2008 at 4:31 pm
Angelina Jolie arrives by plane and makes her way into the Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq on Thursday.
The U.N. Goodwill Ambassador had lunch with American soldiers and voiced her opinion and listened to the ideas of others in day-long meetings. Jolie appealed on Thursday for more international help for the millions of Iraqis displaced internally and abroad, U.N. officials said.

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF BAMPZSville!!!

ITA. I drink mainly tap water. It has fluoride and is tested regularly in my county. The plastic bottle industry is in a PR nightmare. It is interesting these celebs that jump on the endorsement bandwagon for these products without thinking of the environmental consequences.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I remember that.
I think it was the library and I remember saying that it was RR because of the backpack he was using. I think someone even produced a different RR pic with him carrying the same backpack.
But the question is… since RR is hanging out with the Scientologists, did a certain number 2 mandate the Pitt channeling? Or was the Pitt channeling the reason why the Scientologists want RR in the fold?
+++++++++++++++
Piper -
Yes, that’s the incident I’m talking about. RR had a backpack and a motorcycle helmet that were in other pix. The worst part was that the fans figured it out before the stupid ratzi agency! LOL. Don’t give us no fake Brad Pitts…we can ferret that crap out in no time flat.
Also - I forgot all about the RR & ScarJo supposedly going to that Scientoloweirdos center and gettin’ their E Meters on… What’s that all about? It’s about taking a shortcut to the top of acting heap. Isn’t that what Scientoloweirdism does for celebs - promise them something they desperately want in exchange for their souls? Everybody in that cult is a Faust! RR and ScarJo…sure, they work steadily, but when was the last time either of them had a mega B.O. hit? Hmmmm….NEVER is the word that comes to my mind. Look at the people the Scientoloweirdos have been courting the last years - they’ve ALL wanted something they hadn’t been able to achieve otherwise -
- JLo: wanted a baby, starting hanging with Leah Remini & TC and suddenly she’s having twins
- The Beckses: Posh wanted to conquer America. Since Brad and Angie don’t need no hangers on to validate their likeability, TC takes advantage of that and has his Bot befriend Posh to get to her hubby…
- Will & Jada: They didn’t want anything…they’ve got it all…but they could lend their star power to TC’s rapidly fading popularity and presto, a friendship that had been under wraps for years is suddenly all over the press.
For people like RR and Scarjo who are ambitious…and not necessarily the most talented young actors around…a shortcut ain’t a bad idea. But, still, ain’t it funny how Scarjo will go to the Scientoloweirdos NOW when 3 years ago when TC was offering her the job of his Mrs. she ran like hell. I guess making flops with the increasingly irrelevant Woody Allen will make a girl re-think her career choices…

Beverage Bigs Battle Bottle Backlash February 17, 2008
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I hope Matt won’t enter into a deal with that bottle water company. It is a faustian bargain in the long term.
___________
Lylian - I would not be suprised if Matt enters into this deal. I betcha he does not know a heck of alot about this subject but anything that will give him positive points and extend his career in Hollywood..he will do. Just like Clooney.
An aside on Russell Crowe. He’s scheduled to play the Sheriff of Nottingham in Nottingham. He’s not playing Robin Hood. I’m not sure they even have the Robin Hood character cast yet.
Girl as a fan i can post under any name i choose, a fan is a fan
and as a fan i came to you like the fan i think you are, i only say think
because i just start seeing your post in the last say 3/4 months.
any one can use any name, the name does not make a fan, loyalty
dedication and respect for others opinion and what they bring to the site. PRUDE not at all, but there is a place for everything, i wouldn’t care if you and your pal humped each other to the moon, but step to the left with it, here at JJ’s it’s BAMPZS time.Peace
like i said you two should reach out, now that would be fan- fair
Ooops, the following corrections are in order:
tap water tastes find straight filtered = tap water tastes fine straight or filtered.
When you see a gorgeous photo of Ryan Reynolds then run to an old BAMPZS thread buried 15 pages deep in JJ and post on page no 97 of that thread.
What you are really saying is that Brad Pitt is the gold standard of sexiness and attractiveness in your own mind. =

PT,
No doubt it’s going to come to a head eventually. Northern Cal has all the necessary California natural resources to survive independently, plus we’re “prettier”…we have the giant redwoods…Southern Cal has desert, more desert, Mohave (LOL), less urban trees, are possibly on the path of killer bees from So America (temperature not warm enough in No CA for them), HW, the Beckhams, Britney Spears, JA and the Arquettes…we have Lucas and Robin Williams…in your words PT quality not quantity.
So Cal pays more taxes towards State coffers than No Ca overall because of its industry and larger population and at one point many years ago I believe in a dispute between southern and northern CA legislators over So Cal wanting No Cal to share their water No Cal threatened to split from So Cal…So Cal went ballistic!…totally amusing. So Cal even with their money relies on others to survive…
No offense to Alex, the real tita and any other posters from So Cal.

Didn’t know that about Ridley Scott and RC but I can see why, RC needs to lose more than 30 pounds if he is to prance around in tights, spring into fighting, leap on horses, and rescue maidens. RC has always been chunky but this it more than chunky. I am surprised he took the SOP role in this shape but money talks and people act. RC is really aging badly and quickly. No comparison with Brad who is aging beautifully and gracefully as he does with all else in his life, from an awfully pretty boy to an extremely handsome man.
Also maybe he is talking up SOP at this early stage on Leno in an attempt to deflect attention away from the bad press it has received with Brad and Ed leaving. Sometimes the chemistry is just not there and who knows how BenA and RC interact along with the rest of the cast who were ready to roll with Brad and Ed.

I’m confused here…do you really think Felinelilly is taking Cook seriously? No one that’s “mackin’ on” is taking his silliness seriously. Or at least I hope to God they’re aren’t! LOL! Lot’s of serial killers are mistaken for nice guys…
Uh, not that I’m calling you a psychotic killer, Cook. I’m just saying…we’re all just joking around. I thought everyone understood that but apparently some people really think Cook is trying to pick us up. NEVER has he asked any of us for our e-mail, phone number, home address, etc. It’s all a lark and nobody is setting up a meet-and- greet for women Cook has hit on online. Besides, I don’t think private parties can rent out the Super Dome.
groundcontrol @ 02/17/2008 at 8:25 pm
Thanks for that info as to RC’s character. RC will still be in tights, right? Still have fight scenes? Still ride horses?
What is this movie to be about?

Russell Crowe is not lookin very good these days. No matter how anyone spins it. And this is what Universal replaced Brad with in SOP? And this is supposed to play Robin Hood in his next movie? When did Robin Hood ever look anything like this? RC has really let himself go and i mean go.

Woops…BTW…I meant to point out…Russell’s about 4 months younger than Brad. Just sayin’….

And this was the guy who is replacing Brad Pitt in the State of Play ?
Universal must have regret that decision.
A love triangle forms between the legendary do-gooder Robin Hood, his Maid Marion, and the archer’s arch nemesis, the Sheriff of Nottingham.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sounds like other Robin Hood movies to me with emphasis on these three and I guess less on just Robin Hood and his band of merry men adventures. JMO.

I’m not that cynical. I think the intentions are good on the part of Clooney and Matt Damon but they have a lot to learn. It isn’t about being focussed on the one part of the charitable work but all the interconnections.
However, if the primary value of celebrity giving is the publicity, then I think image is much more important to a celebrity’s giving then say a fund like the Gates Foundation which is focussed on funding and money.
When Angelina first started, she did it in a very low key manner. She also made mistakes hiring people - like that chap in Cambodia who it seems, may have pocketed some money (probably in the form of kick backs). Now Brad and Angelina have Trevor Neilson to advice them. I think that’s the sort of person Matt and George need.

When I read the story about Ridley Scott telling RC to lose 30 pounds? He wasn’t THIS heavy. It was a few months ago when he was filming Body of Lies with Leo (who was looking pretty chunky himself!), which was also directed by Ridley Scott. He was a good 15 pounds lighter at that point. NOW he probably needs to lose closer to 45-50 pounds! Here’s a photo of RC with Denzel & Brian Grazer when AG came out this fall. He was a good 15 pounds lighter then.
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4060846848/nm0000128
Also - RC and Ridley Scott have been bouncing around ideas for a sequel to Gladiator. Clearly that’s not going to happen with Russell in his present physical shape. He’d probably keel over just trying to lift one of those 20 pound swords!
OT for lylian skip if you don’t want to read.
Re: lylian @ 02/17/2008 at 1:30 am
thank you so much lylian for your post…it clarified a burden I harbored…I did not so much think genocide but ethnic cleansing in the form of deliberate forceful assimilation into the majority mainstream in the attempt to immediately fracture a society, with eventual generational elimination of an undesirable by way of future interracial intent.
“The policy to remove Children from their Aboriginal parents was introduced because the government and mainstream Australian society thought it would help…”
and isn’t this the crux of many problems?…”thought it would help”…classic wayward mindset…aborigines have survived longer than mainstream and governments yet it comes down to the more aggressive wanting what they “think” best for others even down to the one on one level…it is observed everyday. I embrace what has been done has been done and there is no turning back on history and “misguided” actions…Prime Minister Rudd’s apology must have been a relief for your country to get that out of the way so now the country can move on in a positive manner to the next step of improving the aborigines living conditions.
Did you know that in the US due to intermarriages 80% of American Indians are of mixed descent. They are the most exogamous group in the US today. Social scientists (Sandefur, D et al, American Indian intermarriages, Social Science Research, 15 1986 347-)have long argued that “Indian-ness” (or for our reference “aborigines-ness”) is a genetic phenomena as opposed to anthropologists viewpoint that it is a cultural tradition. As far back as the early 1800’s Thomas Jefferson espoused intermarriage would cause the American Indian to disappear. Then the argument that assimilation will cause cultures and traditions to fade away is palpable even within our own families. I’m definitely not implying or stating that is necessarily good or bad but one cannot help but be sad once the “American Indian” or aborigines defined either anthropomorphically or biologically have gone, it will be the end of a cultural phenomena identified by their respect for the environment and distinct spirituality and rituals.
I loved your post and your insights. Thank you again. I always learn from you and will have a different approach to this topic.

Lulu - UP knew what RC looked like when they hired him. They knew he was growing his hair out and a beard for Nottingham…and they knew that Russell Scott had asked him to lose weight for that movie. They were so desperate to keep SOP on their schedule for next year that they just didn’t give a shite what he looked like. If this was an overweight actress? She’d wouldn’t work in HW again until she was wafter thin and everyone was calling her anorexic.

How foolish you look with cook chasing after PT the other night, crushing on her like crazy, and Lylian and anything with panties.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Not to be mean to anyone or anything but truly, who takes what goes on between cook and any one else on this thread seriously??
On the scale of 0 - 10, with 0 being worth skipping and 10 being worth a thoughtful answer, then some posts I take at a 10, like FALP question about Australia’s apology to the Aboriginal People or the issue of bottled water and the environment. cook’s posts rate about a 2 because I enjoy watching him flirt with everyone and anyone, but run away from Paul. Most losies’ posts rate a 0 unless occassionally, one catches your eye and you can laugh at them, in which case, they rate a 1.
Didn’t mean to come out cynical but as someone who knows more than a wee bit about water in the 3rd world, particularly Africa, I would never ever associate with big brand companies like Pepsi or Coke. This why I wondered if Damon really understand what he is getting into..that is..if he is for water in Africa.
IMO, you just don’t mix big brand companies with the issue of global shortage of water.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hmmm, there may be a bit of that going on, especially in the early 20th century when this happened. There was definitely a desire to bring them into the fold of mainstream culture, their culture and knowledge not being valued.
The truth is that I’m not sure how many “pure” blood aboriginals are left. As in the case of American Indians, there’s been some level of interracial marriages. But perhaps unlike American Indians who through interracial marriages can look like a mainstream American ( just look at Angelina and Marcheline and several of my own American friends who look pure white or black to me but claim to be 1/4 or 1/8 American Indian), Aboriginal features are quite distinctive. We could one day have the “one drop of blood” arguments which Black Americans have today. I hope not as I don’t see that as productive.
I would personally like to see assimilation into an Australian culture which embraces anglo saxon, meditarranean, Chinese (because most Asians in Australia are of Chinese origin) and Aboriginal values and culture. Everyone gives up something and everyone gains something.
Yes, it means a loss of “pure” Aboriginal culture but if assimilated, it could mean a revitalisation of a living Aboriginal culture as opposed to something which is an anachronism in our society. I’m wary about preserving anything as if it were a museum piece.
Just a heads up that A River Runs Through it starring Brad Pitt is on TCM. Love this film .. It’s very simiar to Legends of the Fall.
Which do you like better?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
So very true. They wanted a “big” name to replace Brad and they went after RC after floating JohnnyD’s name as bait but JD did not bite. SOP is one of their tentpole films and they didn’t care what the screenplay was like good bad or terrible, the word was to just get it done, and that’s exactly what they are doing. I doubt that Universal is happy that Brad surfaced in Tree of Life as they wanted to “teach” an actor a lesson as to the power of a studio but Brad is a true blue survivor of the system for years.
So Sad but so true-No actress lookin like RC can get a job, just ask KristieA, and that is a dam* shame.
