How to Manifest Brad Pitt into Your Life…or Restaurant

So a year ago, I was in New Orleans for work, just like Brad Pitt (if think about Brad as often as I do, you gotta check out http://www.PittWatch.com). He and Ange and the kids were living there while he filmed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The week or so before I left, the women in my office and I tracked every picture we could find of Brad and Ange walking around New Orleans or hanging out on their second story deck/patio. For sure, I was going to be able to spot where they lived while I was there.
My plan was to walk in the mornings and evenings, zig-zagging through the French Quarter keeping an eye out for a well kept second story spread. I was fully prepared to run into to the happily un-married couple wearing sunglasses and Gap-like clothing, only more expensive. I imagined running into them at full-speed-walking mode. Maybe act a bit started, like their Peg Perego double-stroller nearly took me out. And then I’d notice the children and comment how beautiful they were, say something like, “I’ve got a three year old at home who falls asleep everytime I put her in a stroller.”
And then I’d be all, “Wait a second, I’m sorry, I totally didn’t realize who you guys were.” Smooth, right? Then I’d be polite and try to let them be, “Well, it’s pleasure meeting you, I’m a huge fan.” But before I could leave them to their peace, Angie would ask what my daughter’s name was and I’d have to tell the story about how she’s named after a motorcycle and then Brad would laugh and say something about how Angie loves motorcycles and then they’d ask if I’d like to get coffee with them since they were heading that way and we’d still be exchanging emails today. But, it didn’t exactly go down like that.
Instead…
It was the last night of my stay in New Orleans and there was a really nice restaurant behind my hotel on Tchoupitoulas Street. The wait for a table was going to be awhile and since I was a party of one, it seemed more appropriate to take a table by the bar, which also happened to be by the hostess stand and entrance. I ordered a beet salad, something I never would have ordered normally, but the waiter claimed it wasn’t going to be what I expected and that I’d love it (he was wrong, it was exactly what I expected). While picking at my beet salad, this guy came in to the restaurant and asked for the owner. Can you imagine what a director’s assistant might look like? Baseball cap, khaki shorts, clipboard–that’s what this guy looked like.
They had a brief conversation and then the guy left. The restaurant owner turned to tell the hostesses something. It appeared that he had just told her she won $1M. Within seconds, there was a buzz throughout the bar staff and dining room servers who kept coming in to talk to the hostess. Something was happening and it was big. Big enough to make up for my beet salad.
Finally, the hostess came over to ask if she could get me anything and I asked her what the big scoop was.
“They’re filming a scene for Brad Pitt’s new movie right outside on the street here and they may have to come in the restaurant for it,” she told me.
“Brad may have to come in here?” I asked.
“I don’t know, but I get the feeling he may.”
Holy ****! I was going to see Brad Pitt up close and at the hostess stand…maybe. Or what if they didn’t come in the restaurant and just did all the filming from the outside. I had finished my beet salad and was trying to decide on getting a full course, dessert, or just going outside. I really did want a dessert, this was one of those places that you knew had yummy, yummy desserts. Then the owner made an announcement to the dining room that in 45 minutes, they were going to have to close the front entrance for about an hour. Anyone wanting to leave the restaurant was going to have to leave from a different entrance.
I was a mess, should I go out and see if I could find him outside or stay put and see if he actually came in. I ordered a dessert as chocolate always helps me with such major decisions. In the end, I decided to take my chances on the outside of the restaurant.
By the time I made it outdoors, a crowd had started gathering to watch the filming. I joined them to see all that went in to setting up a shot…a shot that would eventually be all of five minutes of filming. And then, there he was. So handsome, so utterly cool, so Brad Pitt…and taller than I expected. I watched as he spoke to the director, did a chest bump with one of the assistant-like people who was running around with a bullhorn, telling people where to go.
And then, I watched them set up the beginning of the scene…inside the restaurant. Take, after take, after take, Brad Pitt started the scene by walking out of the restaurant to the street curb to flag a pretend cab. My table in that very restaurant had been less than

The Star Economy
The Celebrity Photos Everyone Dreams About

04.24.08

Picture this: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie walk down the aisle. Jolie holds her new twins in her arms. Shiloh and Zahara led the procession as flower girls, followed by Maddox and Pax bearing the rings. George Clooney officiates.

This isn’t just the stuff of dreams; it’s the dream of Molly Goodson, editor of celebrity blog PopSugar.

Forbes asked nine top celebrity media professionals what their dream picture would be, if money and reality weren’t obstacles. What we found: Even if they could have anything they wanted, these shapers of the public imagination want Brangelina and their brood. Already the paparazzi’s holy grail, Pitt and Jolie were foremost in the minds of nearly everyone interviewed. As for scenarios, the pros want evidence of bliss.

The high price tags attached to celebrity photos have turned the game of documenting every step of the stars into a blood sport. Celebrity weeklies, blogs and television shows are constantly engaged in camera-to-camera combat for significant photos that will garner attention of an expanding audience. More readers and viewers mean more money.

Sure Bonnie Fuller, chief editorial director at Star Magazine, wants the wedding shots. But even more she wants to see famously scorned Jennifer Aniston and Jolie meeting face to face, “while Brad looks on!” she says.

Jill Stempel, New York bureau chief of World Entertainment News Network, wants to get the first pictures of Pitt and Jolie in the delivery room with the new twins. She estimates those shots would be worth $3-5 million. People magazine reportedly paid $4 million for the first shots of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

To Francois Navarre, owner of photo agency X17 Online, the first shots of a clearly pregnant Katie Holmes would be worth five figures.

“The list of scenarios is endless,” says Paul Tetley, head of group editorial for Splash News Online. Tetley would like to see a picture of Jennifer Aniston kissing a new love interest. “I think everybody wants to see that picture. Everyone wants to see her happy. If it’s on a sun-drenched beach in Hawaii, all the better.” Also, “Britney Spears walking up the aisle again.”

The most bankable paparazzi photos are newsy, good quality and worthy of a magazine cover. The average cost of a cover shot: $4,000-$10,000, says one industry insider. That’s chump change compared to the price of some. One industry expert estimates that People magazine paid $100,000 for a picture of Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson just holding hands.

But while Kate and Owen making amends is newsy, it’s also positive. High-price pictures illustrate happiness–weddings, babies and love.

Consider this: One shot of Katie Holmes shopping could be worth thousands, but an intimate shot of Holmes, husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri simply playing in a park could be worth around $60,000 to a weekly celebrity magazine like US Weekly, Star and OK! Magazine.

The big bucks of celebrity culture are real, but the business is based in fantasy. People have grown to see celebrities as friends, and they want to see them happy. And for that, both the public and the media are willing to pay serious money.

NEW THREAD= NEW LUNATIC TROLLS,SO BORING,JUST IGNORE THESE NUT JOBS

LAMO @ the idiot think box office hit == bigger star. isn’t that stupid?

92 jen @ 04/24/2008 at 8:12 pm ,Honey you have some issues with letting go. How in the hell do you deal with “real” life?You are STILL b*tching about a 3+ year old break-up that was not even your own.Think about that for a moment,also you sought out this thread.

well louis, reread my thread… no one wants Brad back…But this fantasy couple you all drool over doesn’t exist. By the way, I love Brad.. it’s Angie I can’t stomach.

Stop going to brad thread so you wont get desperate jen. It is already and overkill that brad is not going to go back to Do you want it shoved in your throat. Anuston got her p_o_r_n thread where you should be

jen @ 04/24/2008 at 8:12 pm
ohh.. now I get it… you say leaving Angelina would “jeopardize” his relationship with his kids??? Well that would explain why she keeps collecting children, adding his last name to theirs, and keeps popping out as many as she can…. Having children by brad = trapping him to a lifetime with her.. yes, makes sense now.. thanks for clearing that up for me…
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Honeybun Norman’s mom, Brad is a willing and enthusiastic participant in the popping out kids process, and adopting more kids. After all he keeps saying he wants at least 7. Angie loves him and wants what he wants. It’s soo simple you know? Brad is where he wants to be with the love of his life and their family. Nothing you say changes that reality.

It is so obvious that Angie means more to him than anything else in his life. That truth is something that ranting delusional jealous hens like you refuse to accept.

dj,susie or little stinker,malibugmom,shitzy.tsk!tsk! ward.

Thanks Jared for the new thread and pictures of the hotness that is Brad Pitt. I love seeing Brad riding his bike and this new bike is hot

Trapping a man with kids dont’ work anymore this day. . Have you ever heard of Mel B, Elizabeth Hurley, Shar Jackson, Bridget Moynahan, Mary-Louise Parker, etc etc etc. these are just some of the list in the unmarried couples.
There’s another long list of married celebrities couples with kids which marriage went kaput in less than 3 years. Dennise Sheen is one of it.
Maniston is the one who trap Brad by dragging him to marriage but refuse to compromise her wife role.
You are as shxt and smelly like the wax coochie of the perennial exhibitionist Maniston. who think a woman only asset is to have a fxckable body for life.!
