OlderBrangelina Twins Sell Big!
This just in from Women’s Wear Daily! Not surprisingly, the exclusive photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, sold big. How big? 2.6 million copies big!
According to the trade journal, “The issue is the biggest seller in seven years, and is the fourth highest newsstand seller in the magazine’s 35-year history, behind the Sept. 11 issue (4.1 million single copies), the issue covering Princess Diana’s death (3 million) and the one covering the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. (2.8 million). The June 19, 2006 issue with the exclusive baby pictures of Brad and Angelina’s first daughter, Shiloh, moved 2.2 million newsstand copies (perhaps the extra Pitt-Jolie baby provided a bigger draw this time).”

Thanks, Guli, for the link. It is hilarious how she knows so much about JA, such as, vacations in Meiheeco 7 months out of a year, not speaking to her mom but loves to call Brad’s mom, Norman and Dolly, etc.. Hilarious.

LOL. Off-topic. I was on the d-listed site where MK was making fun of someone suggesting Cher should play catwomen in the next batman installment. His analysis is hillarious. I like Cher but he had a picture of her that made her look really old.
++++++++++++++++
ROTFL. I saw that. And Cher IS “really old”! She’s 61 or 62…minimum.
The source for this story a British tab…which explains why they’re still pushing Catwoman…even though CN has already said that Catwoman won’t be part of HIS Batverse.

Jared, nobody gives a fukc how much it sold for.
**************************************************************
You know what, instead of being rude to Jared, why don’t you get the fcuk off the thread. Haul ass outa here. And mind the doorknob.
>>>>>>>>>>>
Now now jill. dont ask amused to go away. Here is amused, on Sunday evening, 24 August, at 9.52pm, long after this thread has moved off the front pages of JJ’s blog. Obviously seeking out this thread just to tell Jared that she doesn’t care how many copies People mag sold. Imagine how much she really cares.
LOL
Muahaha…..I loved that Chelsea video LOLOL :lol: — the Maniston ’single staffer’ edition. Chelsea got in some really good hits - she actually brought up that Maniston doesn’t speak to her own Mother, won’t stop calling Brad’s, and spends “7 months of the year,” taning by the beach and pool in Mexico. Ochie-wa-wa! LMAO
Then I never knew it, but she did a skit on the ’showdown at the oscar party,’ that ragloids were touting last year. She said this is our version of how it would go down. Setting was a women’s restroom at the party. Chelsea was Maniston, and her the other comedian that’s a regular on her show was Angelina. I was dying — they had Maniston trying to convince herself and talking to herself in the bathroom mirror saying ‘I don’t care about Brad & Angelina I have really great hair.’ ‘Angie,’ comes in, in her fitted black evening dress with her ‘bump,’ and says ‘Hi Jen,’ and starts talking about how she’s pregnant again because of all the hot sex with Brad!’ maniston loses her mind and attacks her!! Angie fights back and squirts her in the eyes with breast milk. Bahahahahaha maniston knocks AJ down, and reaches between her legs and snatches a fully formed baby (a doll) from there, and gets up screaming maniacally ‘I got Brad’s baby!! I got Brad’;s baby!!’ and then runs off!! Hahahahahahahahah!!

My kids and I went to the Cheesecake Factory in Anaheim when I was in CA earlier this month. Pigged out for days. Food was scrumptious. Waitress was terrific. We left her an extra big tip. This kind of publicity is the last thing they need.
Wish they had a Cheesecake Factory in NYC. :(

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie eligible for child benefit
By Peter Allen in Paris
The sum is part of a financial package waiting for them at Brignoles Town Hall, close to their manor house home in the south of France.
While it is highly unlikely that they will claim the money, it shows off the generous subsidies available to families across the Channel, where many benefits are not linked to income.
Miss Jolie, 33, gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne on July 12, joining the couple’s adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four and three-year-old Zahara, who are adopted, and their biological daughter Shiloh, who was born in Namibia two years ago.
Just before the twins’ births, the family moved into the £35 million Chateau Miraval, between the Var Provence villages of Correns and Châteauvert.
The house, which they are renting at a yearly cost of around £1 million, has 35 bedrooms, two helicopter pads, a swimming pool, gym complex, working vineyard, and even a forest to ensure privacy.
One of the first things Pitt, 44, did on arriving was to register the family at the town hall in nearby Brignoles, to make sure they were known to local medical services, said a local source.
This means all of the family are now listed on official state records - allowing them to enjoy the financial benefits available.
Many of the most generous benefits are not means-tested.
According to officials who carry out assessments at the Family Benefits Office (Caisses d’Allocations Familiales) in Brignoles, Pitt and Jolie would miss out on an initial “birth payment” because their annual income as two working parents is above the eligibility limit of £65,000.
As two of the biggest stars in show business their annual joint income is estimated to be well above £20 million.
However, they are allowed a “nanny payment” of £527.48 a month to help with child care.
Basic family payments will also mean a monthly sum of pounds £599.12, supplemented by an “orphan allowance” times three of £275.12.
This all makes a grand total of pounds £1,401.72, which would be paid by cheque each month, if the family choose to accept it.
Confirming that the couple were now established members of the community and so eligible for benefits, Correns mayor Michaël Latz said: “They are ordinary and very kind. They eat like us, they live like us and they are very interested in the organic food of Correns. They decided to move here after visiting other homes in the region.”
Miss Jolie, whose maternal descendants were French Canadians, has always made her love for France clear, pledging to bring her children up in the country.
Before the birth, the family was staying at Marylands, the £30 million seaside villa owned by Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen in St Jean Cap Ferrat on the nearby French Riviera.
They also took a home in Paris for three months three years ago.
Miss Jolie told an interviewer earlier this year: “French is a second language in the house, although I’m still learning and am not going to attempt any of it here today.
“My children are starting to speak French, so being here is very good for them.”
Nice mayor Christian Estrosi gave both Knox and Vivienne the freedom of the Cote d’Azur resort just before their births- illustrating how the French have taken the family to their hearts.
“All their lives they will be Nicois and all their life they will be able to come to Nice and we will receive them with great honour,” he added.
France has the highest fertility rate in Europe - with almost two children per woman.
The country heavily subsidises children and families from pregnancy to young adulthood with liberal maternity leaves and part-time work laws for women.
The government also covers some child-care costs of toddlers up to three years old and offers free child-care centres from age three to kindergarten, in addition to tax breaks and discounts on transportation, cultural events and shopping.
The government-owned French train system, for example, offers 40 percent discounts off tickets for the parents and the children until they reach their 18th birthdays.
A spokeswoman for Brignoles council said: “We do not discuss individual benefits cases, but can confirm that all resident local families with young children are eligible for certain benefits.”
Hi Guli!
How’s life treating you?
I received People Mag yesterday which my baby sis sent me from LA. I didn’t expect it as we’re not on speaking terms since February. We had a sister spat and I admit that we were both crazy maybe because we only had 11-month gap in our age. It seemed that silence from both of us has somewhat erased our misunderstandings.
Anyway, I screamed with delight when I got it from our mailbox. I look, read and turn the pages a countless times. They are so beautiful. I can appreciate the pics more than when I see them online. When I received People Mag that I ordered, God knows when, I will gladly give it to my friend, she has been blackmailing me. Lol!
guli, I can’t find the gena post. Maybe my eyes are tired and I can’t see it. I would hope JJ would post it so that everyone could comment on it. Peace
I am so proud to be a Jolie-Pitt fan! We don’t need to defend them or respond to dumped HAGS of maniston! They are already in mourning. Hagiston DUMPED AGAIN!
Our heroes are triumphed again. WONDERFUL!!!!
Can you imagine the hype if Jen and Brad bumped into each other at the festival. Wow, I’m almost hoping that it will happen!

>>>>>>>>>>>
(1) because x knows it’s unlikely Angelina will be there with Brad coz it’s just too far for her to travel with 2 little babies.
(2) because x is there to SELL a movie, not just attend the gala of its premiere. She needs more time to persuade potential distributors to see the movie in the first place.
(3) because x needs maximum publicity and there can be no better publicity for x right now then accidentally on purpose bumping into Brad.
You think I’m joking?? HAHAHAHAH
But remember, x actually pulled the PR stunt on Jane Pitt by inviting Jane over to her home, meeting Jane outside her gates with the PAPS ready to snap the photo!!!
Not to mention, this latest leak about x calling Jane over being dumped by John and how Brad listened sympathetically.
I’m telling ya. x and Huvane are that desparate!!!
heheheheheheh
lylian, I like that accidentally on purpose!!! :lol:
Wouldn’t it be great if Jen thinks Angie won’t be there, and lo and behold, Angie decides to attend after all and just before Jen puts her “accidently on purpose” plan into action she notices that Angie is on Brad’s arm ha ha ha.

:lol: :lol: Are you serious?
Aren’t they looking for a distributor for the movie? So why would any of the actors need to help with that? That not their problem.
Not to mention, this latest leak about x calling Jane over being dumped by John and how Brad listened sympathetically.
That was another ****** made up tabloid story. And not even a knew one, in these more than 3 1/2 years there have been several similar stories. On top of all, tabloids are lazy as hell :lol:
I usual love the details and stupidity of that stories :lol: They are hilarious. I will forever me amased how some people pay to eat their cra*p.
I’m telling ya. x and Huvane are that desparate!!!
heheheheheheh
No matter how desperate they are, if they would do that, it would look really, really, really…bad.
I will forever me = I will forever be

=================================
Hmm, i wonder if x will really be soooo desperate for publicity to stoop this low. Considering her penchant for media manipulation tactics, i won’t be surprise. Let’s see if this time she can pull it off seamlessly. Accidentally on purpose bumbing into Brad???? Oh pleeeaaase. Brad “accidentally” married her. remember!!!
They haven’t bumped into each other in 4yrs, and they actually live in the same town ocassionally,LA, so i don’t see anyy of this happening, brad’s doing the red carpet and then leaving according to the organizers.
This is a funny but accurate article from askmen.com
Undateable Women: The Desperate Woman
By Andrew Moore
Word on the street is that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have called it quits. Recent media speculation cites Jennifer Aniston’s desire for a child and a commitment as the reason for the split. So, as another name is added to the list of failed Jennifer Aniston relationships, we can’t help but wonder if, just maybe, Jennifer Aniston is undateable. Could she be a desperate woman?
The desperate woman is characteristically unable to keep a man committed, and she turns men off with her frantic desire for a serious commitment. Sound like anyone you know?
SIGNS SHE’S A DESPERATE WOMAN
The fact is, it’s impossible to maintain a healthy relationship with the desperate woman, which makes them undateable women. Her craze for commitment and her self-imposed deadlines — such as the need to have a baby by the time she’s 30 — eliminate any hope of a normal relationship. We’ve put together this list of warning signs to help you avoid these undateable women and steer clear of the desperate woman.
1- She’s always in a relationship
You can tell a lot about a woman from her relationship history, and the desperate woman’s past is one continuous series of relationships. She’s never alone because she can’t stand to be alone. Moreover, each one of her former boyfriends is very different, as different as, say, Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn and John Mayer. Warning bells should go off if a woman doesn’t seem to have any particular type; it indicates that she’s not looking for that certain someone so much as she’s looking for that certain anyone. If you suspect she might be a desperate woman, find out about her relationship history, either from her or from mutual acquaintances.
2- She’s a micromanager
She has everything planned: this weekend, next weekend, the color of her future bridesmaids’ dresses, the names of her hypothetical children, everything. A desperate woman has excessively detailed plans, and she will incorporate you into those plans with alarming speed. Two weeks in and she’s already saying: “I love you.” After three dates, she wants you to meet her parents. The desperate woman is on a time line and, as a result, she tries to impose a serious commitment prematurely, acting as if the two of you have been together for years, even if you’ve only been on a couple of dates.
Yes, the desperate woman falls into the category of undateable women, and we have more advice for you to follow…
3- Cats and dogs
Maybe it’s a coincidence that Jennifer Aniston has two dogs, then again, maybe it’s not. Sometimes pets indicate desperation. Now, we’re not out to bash pet people, and there’s no reason to freak out just because your girlfriend has a cat (or two). The key is to watch how she interacts with her pets. Doting or obsessive behavior might indicate a desperate need for affection. Are her pets substitutes for people? Take our advice: The first time she refers to her dogs as “children,” leave the room immediately.
4- She’s a pushover
At first, it seems like a good thing — she wants whatever you want. She thinks whatever you think. Soon though, you’ll realize that she’s just playing at compatibility in an attempt to convince either you or herself that the two of you are meant to be together. Trust us — while it might seem cool for a week or two, you don’t really want to date someone without opinions, without interests and without an identity.
WITHDRAWAL TECHNIQUES
OK, so maybe you’re already in a relationship with a desperate woman. You thought all that obsessive, clingy, panicky behavior was just part of her charm, right? Sucker. Well, don’t worry. It’s not too late. Here’s how you can separate yourself from undateable women of the desperate variety.
1- Take the blame
First things first, suck it up and break it off. Don’t bother manufacturing an excuse. Just tell her you’re not ready for a serious commitment. She might yell. She might cry. She might plead with you to stay. However, you have to be tough. These are all signs that you’re making the right decision. Remember, she’s desperate.
2- Damage control
As soon as you’ve ended things, start circulating your version of the story. Get in touch with your mutual friends and use your initial contact to set up future plans. A desperate woman might try to attach herself to your social circle, using your friends to get back together with you. You want your people to form a barricade, not a bridge.
3- Go cold turkey
The desperate woman will remain desperate even after you’ve broken up. She will try to contact you and will likely want to get back together. This is a woman who specializes in neediness. That’s why you need to cut off all contact. Go cold turkey. Avoid taking her calls and don’t see her, at least for awhile. She’s proven herself clingy; don’t give her a chance to cling. Got it? Good. Now go find yourself an Angelina Jolie.
DESPERADO
Whether Jennifer Aniston
I love the last line-FIND YOURSELF AN ANGELINA JOLIE-priceless
here’s the rest of the article
Whether Jennifer Aniston is a desperate woman or not, we don’t know and we’re not here to judge. She definitely shows signs that she is though. If you do find yourself face-to-face with a desperate woman, slip that noose before she kicks that chair out from under you.
