Brad & Angelina’s New Crib

E! got this story from the Daily Mail. Need I say more. Daily Mail prints nothing but lies.

yeah, where is that 200m luxury yacht they purchased according to tabs? It was a lie. This one is lie too.

Thanks Jared for the new thread, but I am not buying this story especially coming from E!

Geez another slow news day in blog land. This story has gone from them leasing a place to buying a 60 million dollar estate. I guess it is to go with the 200 million dollar yacht they bought last year. Nothing like getting hits off the backs of the Jolie-Pitts and bringing out the self righteous hens. Whatever!!!!!

OMG, 35 bedrooms! I think it’s too much for a family of 8. I know they’re not just a little family, but… what are they going to do with 35 bedrooms?!, I repeat, it’s too much for them…

OMFG!! They got this story from a BRIT TABLOID?! You know it’s bullshit. The Brit tabloids are even worse than the American tabs. They lie about every damn thing. Remember when they put out the rumor that Brad and Angelina were buying a $280 million yacht?

You are disgusting and irrational.

Just because there are two catastrophe that hit Asia, doesn’t mean all rich , hard working peoples should stop spending. Angie humanitarian work started since 2001 , Brad start several charity work since 2004 not just recently .
Beside I think this is a rumor not TRUE.

Here is a list of the Cannes winner from MSN

French classroom drama wins Cannes’ top prize
May 25, 2008, 1:21 PM EST
CANNES, France (AP) — The French film “The Class,” a frank tale about classroom life using real students and teachers at a junior high school, won top honors Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival.

Directed by Laurent Cantet, “The Class” was the first French film to win the main prize, the Palme d’Or, at Cannes since “Under Satan’s Sun” in 1987. The docudrama was shot in a raw, improvisational style to chronicle the drama that unfolds over one school year.

The win was a unanimous decision among the nine-member Cannes jury, said Sean Penn, who headed the panel.

Italian films won the second-place grand prize and third-place jury prize. Matteo Garrone’s “Gomorrah,” a study of the criminal underworld in Naples, took the grand prize, while Paolo Sorrentino’s “Il Divo,” a lively portrait of former Premier Giulio Andreotti, won the jury award.

Benicio Del Toro won the best-actor prize for “Che,” Steven Soderbergh’s four-hour-plus epic about Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara. Presented as two films, “Che” follows Guevara and Fidel Castro’s triumphant guerrilla campaign to overthrow Cuba’s government in the late 1950s and Guevara’s downfall and execution after trying to foment a similar rebellion in Bolivia in the 1960s.

“I’d like to dedicate this to the man himself, Che Guevara,” said Del Toro. He also thanked Soderbergh, “who got up every day, forced me to this. … He was there pushing it, and he pushed all of us.”

Soderbergh directed Del Toro to the supporting-actor Oscar for 2000’s “Traffic.”

Sandra Corveloni was chosen as best actress for “Linha de Passe,” in which she plays the mother of four brothers struggling to make better lives for themselves in a Brazilian slum.

Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan was named best director for “Three Monkeys,” which centers on a father who takes the rap for his employer’s crime in exchange for financial support for his wife and son, only to have the scheme backfire amid bitter repercussions.

Belgian siblings Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, two-time winners of the Palme d’Or, received the screenplay prize for “Lorna’s Silence,” about an immigrant woman who enters a sham marriage to gain Belgian citizenship.

The prize for a film by a first-time director went to British filmmaker Steve McQueen’s “Hunger,” set at a Northern Ireland prison where IRA volunteer Bobby Sands and other inmates seeking Irish independence staged a hunger strike in 1981.

The Cannes jury awarded special prizes to Clint Eastwood, who directed the competition film “Changeling,” and Catherine Deneuve, who appeared in two films at Cannes this year.

Eastwood was shut out for key prizes with “Changeling,” his warmly received missing-child drama starring Angelina Jolie.

Eastwood, who delivered two best-picture and director Academy Award recipients with “Unforgiven” and “Million Dollar Baby,” has never won top honors at Cannes after five times in competition there since 1985.

Jury president Penn won the best-actor Oscar for Eastwood’s “Mystic River,” which was shut out for prizes at Cannes five years ago.

“There was a field of such powerful, emotional, moving movies, performances. There was so many times that we thought, it just can’t get better,” Penn said.

Critics judged the Cannes lineup more harshly, however. While Cannes presented few outright bombs this time, critics found the films a bit tepid.

Last year’s competition included such films as Joel and Ethan Coen’s “No Country for Old Men,” which went on to win the best-picture Academy Award, and Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud’s animated coming-of-age tale “Persepolis,” which was nominated for the animation Oscar.

A film from Kazakhstan, Sergey Dvortsevoy’s “Tulpan,” won a secondary competition called “Un Certain Regard.” “Tulpan” is the story of an aspiring shepherd on the isolated Kazakh steppes who must wed before he can enter his chosen trade but is refused by the only prospective bride because she thinks his ears are too big.

Bosnian director Aida Begic’s “Snow,” a drama about villagers struggling with the decision to leave their war-ravaged town, won top honors in another Cannes competition overseen by critics.

After the awards ceremony, the festival closed with the premiere of Barry Levinson’s “What Just Happened?”, starring Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis and Penn in the tale of a fading Hollywood producer trying to rejuvenate his career amid personal and professional crises.

“What Just Happened?” came full circle: A year ago, Levinson and his collaborators were at Cannes filming scenes for the movie.

EE @ 05/25/2008 at 11:41 pm , she promised she would only attend to her children and take a year off.

She went on to make 3 movies during that year, the movies are going to come out soon (Wanted, The Changeling, and that animated film with Panda…).

You are the most stupid idiotic poster in this thread. Yes Angie said she’s going to take a year off after she’s done filming ‘Changeling w/c was done last november. and until then she has not done any work at all .So STOP posting until you get your facts straight, Moron.

Angelina’s life is Jolie indeed

The mighty-hearted actress finds there is no rest for a beautiful, wanted woman, writes Helen Barlow.
Glowing … Jolie at Cannes last week.

Whether together with her partner Brad Pitt looking radiant in a flowing green Max Azria gown on the glamorous Palais steps, or talking up her three movies with her usual aplomb, Angelina Jolie is the most wanted woman in Cannes. However, she gives very few interviews at the festival and as I wait expectantly for the heavily pregnant actress to enter the room at the end of a gruelling day, I wonder if she will have any energy left, let alone be up to discussing the details of her highly scrutinised life.

She doesn’t let me down.

Sauntering into the room in a floor-length black dress with a revealing V-neckline that shows her bulging cleavage which she pushes together with her arms when she talks excitedly, I can’t help but feel that the male population of most planets wouldn’t mind being in the room with me right now.

“Yeah, I’m OK, so far I’m just fine,” the 32-year-old says of her pregnancy with twins. “Everybody said I didn’t have to come, but I was feeling all right. It’s not such hard work. I’m sitting and talking a lot and everybody is being nice to me. If anything, being pregnant and not working I’ve had more time to read and study, to do all those things that I don’t when I’m working.”

She doesn’t seem to have put on weight anywhere else. “No I haven’t,” she admits. “It’s genetics. Dad’s a lanky person. I’m actually trying to put on as much weight as possible so I can stretch, you know. I want as much room as possible,” she adds, holding her ever-growing tummy.

During the festival a helicopter has been on standby to ferry Jolie to a hospital should her babies arrive early. When the time comes Pitt, of course, will be by her side. As yet she hasn’t decided if the birth will take place in France, she says. They have been staying at a Riviera villa owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen during the festival and, given that they have another Riviera abode on hand, it seems likely rumours that she will give birth in the south of France are correct. In any case, this is possibly the last we will see of the actress for a while: “I plan to disappear for at least a month or two afterwards.” (During this period she will have plenty of time to spend with her three adopted children, Maddox, Pax and Zahara, and her biological two-year-old daughter, Shiloh, who is an intriguing mix of her parents’ good looks).

In the meantime, the world’s media is expecting news of their marriage. “I know!” she responds with a chuckle. “I turned on the news and heard we were getting married, and thought, ‘That’s odd’! You know, we’re not against it; it’s not something we’re making a stand about or are scared of. It’s just not felt necessary. We’ve both been married before and I think we feel like we are together because we want to be. We want to raise these children together; we’re committed to them and that’s the priority. It’s not about some contract binding us to have to be dedicated to each other, but that we were going to start building this family and be close just because we are. So we don’t need to do it but one day we will. Maybe if the kids start asking - they’ll probably be the ones to make the decision.”

Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston, Jolie was married twice, to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton. It seems like an eternity since 2001 at Cannes when Jolie wore a vial of Thornton’s blood around her neck, and he hers, as a weird kind of contract.

Jolie may now be obsessed with orphans and with making the planet a better place in her capacity as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, but it’s certainly healthier. She’s grown into a centred, focused woman and nobody doubts that she is very smart. Today her transition seems complete.

“I never felt smart when I was young because I was a punk kid with different-coloured hair,” explains the actress, who also had a famous fixation with knives. “The first time I went to Washington I had to cover my tattoos; I was always considered a wild persona and there was also a part of me where I didn’t feel I was a thinker. I had an insecurity about that, though I’m now growing into it and feel more confident finding my own way as a woman. Certainly I still don’t feel as smart as I want to be.”

Curling tufts of her long dark hair around to her chest as she speaks and looking at me directly with her oval, black eye-linered eyes, Jolie is as sultry, sexy and as poised as ever. At the press conference for her movie Kung Fu Panda, her first Cannes appearance, a young journalist was beside herself that she was in the same room as the star, who is considered the most beautiful woman in the world. What does she think of her current status?

“I don’t take it seriously at all and I never listen to it. I look in the mirror and I see my mum and I see my little daughter. Like everybody, there are things about myself that I don’t like.” Such as? “I don’t want to point out my flaws. I have them,” she laughs. “But right now in my life I have a really good partner and somebody who makes me feel that even when I’ve got the flu and I’m sick or if I’ve just had my C-section in the hospital when I had Shiloh, he makes me feel beautiful. I think there is a lot to being supported and loved. You know, my kids make me feel beautiful. True beauty,” she notes, becoming reflective, “is when you’ve really found something inside yourself that you’re at peace with and the people around you are as well.”

So if Brad wasn’t the most handsome man on the planet, she’d still feel the same way? “I actually was dead set against being with another actor before I met Brad.”

The French article said they took a three year lease on the place. Who knows if it’s even for the entire year. It could just be for the summers.

It’s an old place. Who knows how many bedrooms are actually usable or how many are for servants/guests/vinyard workers, etc. These chateaus are refurbished for entertaining and holiday living. Have any of you been in any of those old places?

It sounds lovely but I would miss being near the water. Isn’t this the area they vacationed in last year?
