Angelina Jolie: Brad Pitt is Hard to Shop For!

Angelina Jolie: Brad Pitt is Hard to Shop For!

Angelina Jolie gave a refreshingly candid interview to Entertainment Weekly while checking out a window display of Corum watches at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat in the south of France.

On her partner not being easy to buy things for: “Brad is the hardest person to shop for. ‘He has impeccable design taste. And whenever he sees something he likes, he buys it for himself.”

On Brad’s most recent gift to her (a gun-charm necklace she wore to her EW photo shoot): ”Mad, our 6-year-old, draws lots of war scenarios. He’s all into war and guns. So for Mother’s Day he drew a machine gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It’s really cute. I think it’s really good!”

On some people who can’t reconcile her old persona, where she talked about knives and cutting, with her more recent identity as a mother and activist: “But again, it’s not that different. The reason I talked about going through certain pains or even cutting myself is that I was already out the other side. I knew there were people that do that — and somehow are happy that somebody admitted they did and discussed how they got out of it. I don’t see the point of doing an interview unless you’re going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I’m extremely human and have done some dark things, I don’t think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do and I’d like to think it’s the nice thing to do.”

On anything she’s said that she wishes she hadn’t (like all that business about wearing the vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around your neck when you two were married): “No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I’m proud to have been his wife for a time. I don’t believe in regrets. It’s a dangerous habit to get into — it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.”

On people saying being pregnant is bad for one’s sex life: “No, I think it’s quite the opposite. It’s great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you’re just so round and full.”

On Brad’s new tattoo: “I drew that. We went to Davos. It’s not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn’t have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.”

top brit @ 06/13/2008 at 8:25 am Jen would be a wonderful mum, 100 times better than crazy jolie.

Wow I ‘ m look forward 555555555555

Briseis,

Hello…I liked the Mexican, maybe because Pitt wasn’t trying to be serious and intense, and I like Julia Roberts and Gandolfini.

You must be living in the moon. Brad didn’t do much work while tied by his clinging , needy x in all those 7yrs. he was depressed and seeing shrink in all those yrs with X. only done a handful of projects , except for OC11 none was critically nor commercially successful. even Troy was critically bash and didn’t do well in America.

Brad’s career having a blast after dumping that shallow, selfish X. OC12, OC 13, MMS, Babel were all commercially successful. TAOJJ, although didn’t make it at the BO, but was critically acclaimed. Brad was nominated again at the GG on 2007 after a 12 yrs.of absence . Best actor at Venice for TAOJJ, it might not be a big deal, but still a recognition . and I hate to tell you, go to every Oscar predicting site. BRad, David Fincher, Benjamin Button, Angie, Eastwood, Changeling are receiving a lot of buzz ffrom the movie buff and critics. not a word of your idol and her dog movie.

”That some people support me and some people really don’t like me tells me that I’m making decisions and I’m standing strong for something I believe in. I’m making choices in life. And that’s the right thing to do.”

In many ways you’re a very polarizing figure. People either worship you or they can’t stand you. Have you thought about why that is?
I’d like to think it’s because I’m not neither here nor there in my life. I think anybody that makes a decision about where they stand is going to cause strong opinions about them. But I think that’s what you should be hoping for in life, so I take that as a very good sign. That some people support me and some people really don’t like me tells me that I’m making decisions and I’m standing strong for something I believe in. I’m making choices in life. And that’s the right thing to do.

…”Craig man, Imma get you f ucked-up today, cause it’s FRIDAY and you ain’t got no job”

Chatia, you made many great points about x in your post. 2 jumped out.

(1) . i think x is driven by guilt,she spent her entire life running from regrets and hiding her shame, guilt-driven people are manipulated by memories, they allow their past to control their future.
_______
I so agree with this. The first time I heard that all the videos of her NOT thanking Brad at the Emmy’s or GG’s , I was surprised. Then I checked You tube and others and sure enough, gone. That and the video where she casually and almost drunkenly, says, after the event – “Thanks for holding it together for me babe “ or something like that. None of the regulars have been able to find those videos. Shame?? LOL. I’d say, yes.

_____

(2) Instead she play it safe, avoiding risks and trying to maintain the status quo

LOL. I remember seeing the news reports about x CO-directing a 10 minute move with her dear friend. Acting for 1 night in a 10 minute play on Broad way., Starring in the same old rom coms (though having seen her in Derailed, she should never do Femme Fatale).

Meawhile, Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, Katie Holmes, Catherine Zeta Jones, all have or are going to do Broadway.

LOL, even Ashlee Simpson, did a real stint treading the boards.

I simply cannot relate to x at all. I can understand and relate to Angelina so much better. I can understand Angelina’s restlessness, the desire to explore, loving your children, working with commitment and determination on the relationship and holding it all together because its worth it.

x is apparently totally lacking in curiosity. She even holidays in the same facking place year in year out. Not even to discover part of her roots in Greece and Asia Minor which are half her roots. She’s already admitted she’s not much of a reader (except of Tablies).

When I see her by the pool, tanning yet again, lying there or waving her legs around, I can’t imagine what she thinks about. After all, its not as if she is concerned about earning a living, ensuring a decent retirement income or raising a children or anything.

Oh wait, may be it’s as she lays there tanning, x digs deep into her psyche to explore the different aspects of her latest role – girl meets boy, boy not into her, girl gets boy. heheheheheh

Lylian and ja why don’t you go find a brad thread to post about his x in. It’s about time you stop ruining Angie threads with all your bullshit. I know y’all are brad fans because real Angelina fans couldn’t care less about Aniston or Brad pitt.

btw, I wonder if we’ll see new pix of Angie before she has the bb’s.

THIS IS FOR THE HATERS !!!
Life is a metaphor, and it influences your life more than you realize. It determines your expectations, your value, your relationships, your goals, and your priorities. Have you ever paused to consider that you may be basing your life on a faulty metaphor? You may have picked it up from a parent, from your friends, from the movies you watch e.g rumor has it, along came polly, or magazine you read e.g N.I., Us, or Star or some other fallible sources. So get a life

Dating Stock @ 06/13/2008 at 11:02 am

Arm candy can go sour and hurt your sweet future, too

BY JO PIAZZA

You are who you date. No matter how independent a woman you may be, outsiders still judge you by the company you keep. Like a commodity that rises and falls with the market, your personal stock rises and falls by who is on your arm.

This week, Anne Hathaway’s stock took yet another dip when it became known that a kid’s charity run by her longtime boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, is being investigated by the New York State attorney general.

Every time this guy screws up, newspapers and magazines run a picture of poor Anne. So this week, instead of promoting her new summer flick, “Get Smart,” she has to dodge questions about why she still dates such a loser.

Her social and personal value plummets all because she can’t ditch this dud.

Of course, the opposite is also true. Dating up can increase the value of both parties. Brad and Angelina, for instance, hit the couples jackpot when they hooked up.

“The more A-list and beautiful each member of the couple is, when they get together it just quadruples their worth and how much people want to hear about them,” says Sarah Ivens, editor-in-chief of OK! magazine.

This is why everyone and their mother want to see more and more and more of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They bolster each other’s value. (Damn Right!)

On the other hand, John Mayer - who has a reputation for hopping from one starlet’s bed to the next - only lowers Jennifer Aniston’s social stock. (Hahahahahaha)

And while a celebrity’s index rises and falls based on her latest tryst, the same is true for the average woman’s.

Don’t think that people aren’t judging you by whom you choose to settle down with. They do. So take a good look at your relationship and see if he is the one lowering your value.

“Especially in New York, your dating portfolio is important,” says Patti Stanger, Bravo’s “Millionaire Matchmaker.” “You are like a stock portfolio. Looks, smarts, education and who you date. So let’s say you date a bad dude and then you keep dating those over and over again. Your stock goes down in your own community.”

Watch out for guys who’ve dated a lot of your friends, or who have a reputation as a player. Their wandering eye can make you seem like another face in the crowd. Also, loafers and moochers, no matter how cute, can make you appear cheap or lazy by association. The guiding principle is simple: If they don’t treat you like a million bucks, other people won’t either.

Stanger says that in choosing a mate, look for stability. Focus on good qualities that are perceptible from the outside of a relationship: a good job, poise and, most importantly, his behavior when he is around you.

It also can’t hurt if he’s a super-rich, wildly famous celebrity.

Stanger’s classic example of a woman who raised her dating stock is Shoshanna Lonstein. Remember when she was just an another cute girl from the upper East Side?

“Well, then she dated Jerry Seinfeld for a few years and poof, she has a rich Wall Street husband and her own fashion label,” Stanger explains.

Her stock went through the roof.

So in choosing a potential mate or even just a summer fling, make sure to choose wisely. You never know who may be watching.

# 1086 !!!!

Most stupid thing I’ve ever read.. Real Angelina Fan, would support Angelina’s decisions. She Chose Brad, She’s Pregnant with HIS BABIES…. Sucks for You I know…

#1086–Excuse moi but I happen to be a Brad FAN first now I love Angie and the whole family. I lost interest in Brad when he was with that talentless, shallow thing!
This is a Brad and Angie thread!!!! Almost all of us love them both other than a few riff raff… :-) And they get a regular smack down from many posters here :-)

Good morning BAMPZS+2ville. Happy Friday the 13th!!!

chatia great post! bdj thanks for the articles.

Nope, I disagree…I’m a REAL Angelina and I respect her choices…I don’t have to support her decisions.

Hey guli, It’s quite funny when a Poster who doesn’t even have a fcuking name (!!!!) tries to tell Us Fans, Who have been here for a couple of Years supporting The Joie-Pitt Family, what WE can discuss.. What a tool..
:lol:

Cook I could give a flying fcuk what You think.,..

julia,

…you obviously do…hahahahaha

——————————————————————————
you obviously are respecting her choice,what a joke you and people like you are.and Do you really think with using caps for REAL,it will make you more real fan?

Brad fans tend to be much older and we understand things a bit better. Tthose of you hell bent on separating Brad & Angelina are evil at best. I have observed those of you who keep trying to pit them against each other. What is the purpose of this? Obviously Angelina & Brad are the happiest they have been in their lives. They actually have a family they have created together and share a love for each other that they have never had before. The family has included extended family members as well. Everything before this seems irrelevant because they both were with people who did not appreciate them for who they were and what they wanted in life. Angelina could not have the life she hads now with Billy Bob Thornton. He suffocated her and was a negative infulence in her life. She fell in love with Billy Bob the “artist”. That idea was romantic to her it seems. Billy Bob Thornton the man, however was a different story. She learned this the hard way. Yet she is still complimentary toward him and a testament to her disposition. Billy was and will always be about Billy. Aniston strung Brad along promising to start family every year. Every year she renewed her contract and signed up for films. She was riding the A list gravy train that came with being a movie stars wife. She really empahsized the “contract” part of the marriage contract. She came aross as negotiating and extending her contract and putting clauses when it came to starting a family. Maybe Huvane was part of the negotiations. Aniston was his gravy train. it was the biggest nonsecret in the celebrity world that Brad wanted a family. Even the casual observer knew this about Brad. But Ansiton seemingly never got the memo on that and she was his wife. My dear Brad ended that nonsense of a marriage with that ludicrous woman. Brad today doesn’t have a marriage contract but is very much married in my eyes to Angelina and has a family to call his own. He is more married now than he was with that paper. I think the regulars on here should call out anyone trying to pit these two against each other. It’s very unseemly and pointless. If you like one and not the other, you don’t have to say anything about the one you don’t like. It’s very simple, you see. Just remember this, they are together because they want to be together and are very much in love with each other.

Everybody knows Brad dated down when he was with Aniston. I remember reading an article after they broke up where the writer wrote that the mother nature knows how to right itself. She said Aniston’s whining and getting attention from the media was all Brad’s fault for marrying below his station .In doing so, he gave her the illusion that she was more than she really is.

====================================
lylian, I agree with you. She looked the same, doing the same thing, tanning, vacationing at the same place Cabo San Lucas, plastic surgeries etc, nothing meaningful.

I also want to add that Jen CANNOT live without the whole support system. She said she has to call her girlfriends to consult them even on the tiniest detail. Imagine, she couldnt even host the BBQ on her own. How difficult is that !!!! She had to co-host it with Courtney.

Huvane, being Jen’s publicist has bought Jen all those placements in the Forbes list, GLADD award etc. That’s how she spent her 110million networth.

You’re guessing about these people and their marriages…None of them have clarified in public anything and they shouldn’t and an older wiser person would understand this.
