#27 Envious and Jealous.Not even in your dreams would you have a man like Brad.
My goodness, Brad is so gorgeous.
Brad looks like he doesn’t want to be there. He looks as if somone stole his bestfriend. He looked the same at the party last night and at the photocall this morning. And you people think that he is going to film a movie in Germany while his family is in France.He will move mtns to get them where he is. I do think that he should spend some time away from Ange and the kids just to have some alone time .1 day is enough.
Brad is beautiful. He is the sexiest man ever.
African Girl is overly excited because of George!
They seem like a fun bunch to hang out with, they always look like they are having a great time- and always look good! :)

Can’t wait for a RC with Brad and Angelina again.
Hope the movie gets good reviews.
#46 yes you kind’ve of sound like me.But not not much.
# 10 Bailey @ 08/27/2008 at 1:59 pm Frances looks beautiful. Hi lookoflove!! How are you? Prepared for the trolls?
===========================
Hehehehe! NO, they are tiresome creatures. See that Tallula poster? Typical of a hater-shallow and concentrates on physical attributes so much. Devoid of inner introspection.
Hello to vicki, anoble, feline, neleh, AG, tita, nlal and to all the fans postind and lurking…hard to do a roll call. LOL
OMg F@rt is bleeped out. ahah
WE MISS ANGELINA BUT SHE DOING THE BEST WORK IN THE WORLD AND THAT’S BRESTFEEDING BABIES NURTURING Z AND SHI AND BEING A GREAT MOMY TO BRAD’S CHILDREN……………PEACE
SomeSTupidChick has been lobotomized and now she’s Tallula. Go Figure. It never ends with this ret@rd, always with the same nonsense. Brad had plastic surgery. Brad had Botox. B@tch get a life. And stop the Fcukery.
# 47 elona @ 08/27/2008 at 2:20 pm Tallula,Why don’t you go pluck some of that hair off your loose tongue
=====================
LOL…Tallula is bald, hence the jealousy because Brad got more hair in his nose than Tallula’s head. :shock:
Gosh! Brad needs to trim his nose hairs AND get rid of that old man’s beard/goatee. It ages him!
He would be so much more handsome without the greying hair on his face!!
Looking Good. I say that to the whole group. I can’t wait to see the movie. I just saw Tropic Thunder and it was funny. I’m in the mood for more funny and goofy.
vBrad looks like he doesn’t want to be there. He looks as if somone stole his bestfriend. He looked the same at the party last night and at the photocall this morning. And you people think that he is going to film a movie in Germany while his family is in France.He will move mtns to get them where he is. I do think that he should spend some time away from Ange and the kids just to have some alone time .1 day is enough.

Actually don’t you remember yesturday?? He brought Pax and Maddox with him to Venice.
Tallula… blank head :lol:
#55..Why ,all caps.

why the F would you care? your post is very immature so i would suggest you go back to the zac effron thread and swoon over a man who wears false eyelashes.
hey brad you lousy hypocrite.
go away from italy! in italy we don´t like to sell innocent childs for money and publicity!
Just Jared,
I ADORE Brad, but I love more the duo George-Brad, so I think that you should change the title into “George and Brad premiere” , and put more pics of Goerge, because both are stars not only brad.
Thanks for the new pics and the update!
italia @ 08/27/2008 at 2:44 pm
You are stupida! He’s there to promote a film just like George and Tilda and everyone else yet you pick on Brad. George is the one who has been living in Italy for almost 5 years yet he can’t speak one word of Italian. You are trash just like your comment. You are very unsophisticated and missing a brain.
Goos mid-morning to all of the BAMPZSKV fans enjoying the lovely pictures of Papa Pitt and his friend. We have to try hard to ignore the very unhappy trolls and haters. Two days of beautiful pictures of Papa Pitt and his boys. Then all dressed up with AG’s man GC.
They can’t handle the pictures I feel so sorry for them. Why aren’t they over at their idols thread where she is having lunch with Woody Allen. Maybe she is making a deal to make a movie people will want to see.
At any rate, thank you Jared for all of the pictures. See guys when there are pictures to post Jared will get them. Thanks Jared for all of the pictures. Peace
THIS NOT A BREAK OR DOWN TIME FOR BRAD HE HAS HIS TWO OLDEST SONS WITH HIM THAT’S WARMS MY HEART JUST TO THINK THAT HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY FROM THE HOUSE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS WITHOUT THE KIDS BUT NO HE TOOK MAD AND PAX ALONG ON THIS WORKING TRIP HELPING ANGIE OUT BY EASING THE CHORES OF HAVING ALL SIX OF THE KIDDIES WHILE HE PARTIES IN VENICE…………….SUCH A WONDERFUL HUSBAND AND DADDY………………………..PEACE
I can’t decide which dress is worse. Right now I’m leaning toward Swinton because aside the fug design the color reminds me of baby shite.

Im sure Brad had his boys tucked in to sleep before he went to the charity event thats why he came in late to the Not on Our watch charity event, in fact missing the red carpet for that event. I think to compensate he stayed up to the wee hours during the party afterwards.
Variety Review
By TODD MCCARTHY
After their triumphant dramatic success with “No Country for Old Men,” the Coen brothers revert to sophomoric snarky mode in “Burn After Reading.” A dark goofball comedy about assorted doofuses in Washington, D.C., only some of whom work for the government, the short, snappy picture tries to mate sex farce with a satire of a paranoid political thriller, with arch and ungainly results. Major star names might stoke some mild B.O. heat with older upscale viewers upon U.S. release Sept. 12, but no one should expect this reunion of George Clooney and Brad Pitt to remotely resemble an “Ocean’s” film commercially.
A seriously talented cast has been asked to act like cartoon characters in this tale of desperation, mutual suspicion and vigorous musical beds, all in the name of laughs that only sporadically ensue. Everything here, from the thesps’ heavy mugging to the uncustomarily overbearing score by Carter Burwell and the artificially augmented vulgarities in the dialogue, has been dialed up to an almost grotesquely exaggerated extent, making for a film that feels misjudged from the opening scene and thereafter only occasionally hits the right note.
Ironically, said curtain-raiser shows the CIA actually getting something right. Career analyst Osborne Cox (John Malkovich) is shoved out, and his subsequent obscene tantrum demonstrates he has all the decorum and self-control of a 5-year-old. Lying to his wife Katie (Tilda Swinton) that he quit, Osborne sets about writing an explosive memoir, while no-nonsense Katie now seriously begins considering leaving her unhinged husband for her happy-go-lucky lover Harry (Clooney), a federal marshal none too committed to wife Sandy (Elizabeth Marvel).
In an utterly unrelated orbit of D.C. life, desperately middle-aged Linda (Frances McDormand) is pissed that the insurance company for the fitness center where she works won’t cover the extensive plastic surgery she urgently wants done. So antic and frantic you wonder if anesthesia would ever work on her, she suddenly steps into merde with gym trainer Chad (Pitt), who’s even more hyperactive than she is, when the latter finds a disc they think is loaded with ultra-classified information.
With frosted blond hair, and appearing so dense he may as well have his low-double-digit IQ pasted to his forehead, Pitt’s Chad is what passes for a riot here. Film’s funniest scene may be that in which Chad, having traced the disc to Osborne, phones the latter in the middle of the night to initiate the blackmail scheme that will net Linda the coin she needs to transform her bod. Pitt slices the ham very thick indeed, but uniquely emerges as endearing in doing so.
Coincidentally, Internet dater Linda starts shagging Harry, who, amusingly, likes to go for long runs after sex, and just past the one-hour mark, one major character gets blown away in an accident, a development that’s supposed to be funny as well as startling.
The Coens’ script, which feels immature but was evidently written around the same time as that for “No Country,” is just too fundamentally silly, without the grounding of a serious substructure that would make the sudden turn to violence catch the viewer up short. Nothing about the project’s execution inspires the feeling that this was ever intended as anything more than a lark, which would be fine if it were a good one. As it is, audience teeth-grinding sets in early and never lets up.
Incidental niceties crop up, to be sure. The Coens’ economy of storytelling is in evidence, as is their unerring visual sense, this time in league with cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki; a low-angle shot of Harry, knife in hand, lingers especially. The date montages are cute, and the facial reactions of JK Simmons, playing a CIA boss more dedicated to avoiding fuss and bother than to getting to the bottom of things, are once again priceless. But on any more substantive level, “Burn After Reading” is a flame-out.

Burn After ReadingWendy Ide at the Venice Film Festival
****
Joel and Ethan Coen call upon a heavyweight cast of regular collaborators (George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins) and newcomers to the Coen repertory group (Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton) for their follow-up to the Oscar-winning No Country For Old Men. And then the brothers gleefully despatch half of their stars in a hail of bullets and blunt weapons.
This is the Coens’ first self-penned original screenplay since The Man Who Wasn’t There in 2001, and it has in common with some of their earlier pictures, specifically Raising Arizona and Fargo, a savagely comic taste for creative violence and a slightly mocking eye for detail. It also shares with these films one of the Coen Brothers preferred themes: that of inept criminals, or more specifically the ordinary Joe who thinks he or she can pull off one ingenious heist that will turn their luck around.
It’s hard to think of anyone less suited to a life of crime than Pitt’s character Chad. Most toddlers have better extortion skills. Chad is a bouncing puppy of a man; a fitness trainer at Hard Bodies gym and the best buddy of fellow Hard Bodies employee Linda (McDormand). Linda has an aching loneliness inside which she attempts to fill with unrewarding hook ups on internet dating sites and the dream of a new life bought through extensive cosmetic surgery. But all the butt-sculpting and face-stretching that she requires comes at a price, so when the gym cleaner finds a disk that appears to contain what Chad describes as “top secret sensitive ****”, Linda scents the chance of a windfall and Chad skips happily along beside her.
The disk in fact contains the whiskey-sodden ramblings that former CIA agent Osbourne Cox (Malkovich, who ties with Pitt for the film’s funniest performance) considers to be the beginnings of his memoir. Cox is struggling from the wreckage of a motorway pile-up of personal crises – he has quit his job, his wife (Swinton, delivering her lines with a scrotum-shrivelling ferocity) is tired of him and two imbeciles are trying to blackmail him. Little does Cox know but his wife is having an affair with a man he despises: married family friend and federal marshal Harry (Clooney). And in a coincidence that only the Coen brothers are audacious enough to pull off, Harry is also seeing Linda, having met her while sleazing around internet dating sites.
Carter Burwell’s brilliant score is the most paranoid piece of film music since Quincy Jones’s neurotic soundtrack for The Anderson Tapes – it’s particularly well-judged as it brings a gravity to a collection of characters who we could otherwise dismiss as numbskulls and nincompoops. The attention to detail is impeccable: the Coens can even raise a laugh with something as simple as a well-placed photograph of Vladimir Putin (the Russian Prime Minister gazes down from wall at Pitt and McDormand with the murderous expression of a tiger shark about to chew its way through a mouth full of particularly stupid herrings).
If the film does lack something, it’s warmth. The affection you felt from the Coens for the misguided fools in Fargo or Raising Arizona is lacking here for everyone except Jenkins’ hapless and hopelessly love sick gym manager. And while the film carries the audience with its entertaining, if somewhat ludicrous, blend of high level espionage and ab-toning exercises, it would perhaps be more rewarding if we could like the characters as well as laugh at them.
Rating: 4/5

What a gorgeous man. Brad Pitt makes everybody else looks ordinary.
Brad is just a regular dad. he’s not doing anything different than any other involved father would not do

Blessings to the Jolie-Pitt Family.

My post immature? I guess you can’t read well. You used the F word…..and that is not “immature” ? Oh, maybe you are just trash.
A little simple comment about Brad’s nose hairs and the fact he had an aging beard is far from “immature”. I am guessing you are a…..you know what.
something wrong with ya honey
George & Brad Enjoy a Guys’ Night in Venice
George Clooney and Brad Pitt lived la dolce vita in Venice Tuesday night, partying into the wee hours.
In town to promote their film Burn After Reading, which opens the film festival Wednesday, the pair first attended a black tie fundraiser for their Not On Our Watch charity. Some 200 Italian VIPs – plus their costar Tilda Swinton – attended the dinner at the Hotel Cipriani on Giudecca Island.
“They both have such passion and such dedication,” a guest told PEOPLE of the pair.
After the event wound down, the two actors partied on with some 20 fundraiser guests, arriving at the Cipriani’s poolside bar just after midnight.
“We’ve had a lot to drink,” said a jacketless Pitt, 44, laughing and raising his champagne glass. A tan and trim-looking Clooney, 44, had his shirt unbuttoned.
After chatting with some guests – including Clooney’s pal, British TV personality Mariella Frostrup – the actors held court on a wicker sofa by the pool. By 2 a.m., a pair of women decided to strip down and take a dip as Clooney looked on from the edge.
Later, the actor shimmied while the hotel’s guitar player strummed Gloria Estefan’s “Mi Tierra.”
“In case you didn’t know, the water’s salty,” Clooney yelled as he headed upstairs at 2:15 a.m.
Pitt, who arrived in Venice Tuesday with sons Maddox, 7, and Pax, 4, stayed chatting until just before 3 a.m.

Thanks for the new thread Jared. :) Brad looks great. Burn After Reading looks really funny, I can’t wait to see it.
Marriage for Clooney, kids for Pitt? Jokes, bad questions fly
When some reporters come face to face with A-list celebrities, their brains turn to mush. Take this morning’s press conference at the Venice film festival. George Clooney and Brad Pitt were among the stars taking questions following the first screening of their latest movie “Burn After Reading”, directed by the Coen brothers.
Inevitably, the questions were personal as well as professional.
“I have a question, it’s very important,” said one male reporter from Brazil: “What do you think it’s (sic) better … to win an Oscar or to fall in love with a beautiful woman here in Venice?”
“Brad, don’t answer that,” Clooney said, trying to maintain a happy atmosphere despite the generally dire standard of questions.
Then came a female reporter from a Hong Kong TV channel: “I want to know how the twins are doing - are they looking more and more like you and Angie?” She was, of course, referring to Pitt’s newborn twins with Angelina Jolie.
Clooney again tried to come to the rescue: “The twins are fine.”
A British journalist enters the fray, asking Pitt: “I’m just wondering whether you have plans for any more (children) and how many is enough?” and to Clooney: “Any plans to settle down and have children yourself, if that’s not too personal a question?”
Clooney replied: “I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I’ve been asked that question. I am getting married and having children today. Brad?”
Pitt: “And until then I’ll be sharing mine with him. I’ll have two more by next year.”
And finally, and it was really painful to watch, came a female reporter from Spain (and excuse the English):
“This is a question for Brad. Can I get closer? I am wearing like this because I want to sign up for your gym. What do I have to do to sign up for your gym like in the film, Brad? And if I sign up, would you be running after me? Both of you.”
Pitt: “It’s a movie and I have no answer.”
Question: “If I sign up will you be running after me, George?”
Clooney: “I’m afraid, from the looks of it, we might be running from you.”
Hear, hear, George.

Ok, that’s it. Brad Pitt is truly the most beautiful man that ever walked this planet. Period. End of story. Case closed.
Love the color of Frances and Tilda’s clothes? Are these men younger than their female co-stars?? All of them look fine… Brad, GC, the Coen bros and Mme Tilda and Frances…
Pure Lies,these Tabs are crazy.You think Brad would leave Angelina and six kids for this Looney.If you do you are nuts.
So glamorous! I love the one with Swinton in the middle. SHe is so cool, too—statuesque! Isn’t she related to the Queen? or comes from some really old English family? I think she went to school with Princess D.
Well whatever….I’ll go watch the movie. Not all the reviews were bad.
CONGRATULATIONS to the yummiest DADDY!

A stunned Brad Pitt was awarded the best actor trophy on Wednesday at the Venice International Film Festival, the same honor he was given last year for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
“I guess you forgot something here years ago,” said the mistress of ceremonies. Holding up the gold cup to honor Pitt’s performance in the upcoming dark comedy Burn After Reading, she said, “Brad, this is yours.”
Pitt – attending the Venice film festival opening ceremony in support of the film – looked surprised as he walked up onstage.
“Congratulations for your twins,” she told Pitt as she handed him the trophy.
“You can run but you can’t hide,” Pitt said laughing. “It was an honor to receive this last year and it’s an honor to receive it this year. Thank you very much.”
The mistress of ceremonies then held up a yellow flower. “This is for your friend George,” she told Pitt referring to George Clooney, his Burn After Reading costar.
THIS is the Hollywood A-list. Just wonderful!

Without Angie Around, Jen and Brad Can Totally Get Some In Canada!
SPINNING A SPINSTER Jen For four long years, we’ve waited for this.
Nope, not the next presidential election, but the re-meeting of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt! The two haven’t seen each other since their marriage melted when Angelina Jolie curled her little finger in a come hither gesture and Brad bounded off to hold Angie’s purse and change some diapers back in ‘04. But both Brad and Jen have films to promote at the Toronto Film Festival next week. With Angie stuck back in the French mansion with Brad’s mom and the six-million kiddies, could this Brad/Jen re-meet be fraught with, um, something?
“Jen & Brad to Meet FACE TO FACE: Sweet Revenge!” boasts Star magazine.
“Angelina’s Furious About Brad Seeing Jen!” In Touch’s cover screams!
OK!, too, splashes Jennifer Aniston across its cover, but they admit that while the exes both have scheduled appearances at the festival, it seems entirely likely that in a city of 2.5 million people, the erstwhile couple might not bump into each other.
We’ve been following the Democrats in Denver this week, so we’ve got elections on the brain, and we can’t help but think that the kids at OK! sound a little like Walter Mondale in ‘84, telling the American people that both he and Reagan were going to have to raise taxes, but that he was the only candidate honest enough to admit it. True perhaps, but what’s Walt been doing the past 24 years. Sometimes we don’t want the truth when the non-truth is so much sexier!
Star claims that Jen and Brad already chatted on the phone when Jen called Brad’s mom (they’re still besties) distraught over her public break-up with sappy singer John Mayer. “John would be so yesterday’s news if Jen saw Brad!” says a source, who claims the two are talking meet-and-greet.
And In Touch says that new mamma of twins Angie is a hormonal mess insecure about her baby weight, who thinks that her partner might take a liking to Jen’s yoga body. Says one insider, “She imagines Brad will be there sipping champagne at the Park Hyatt’s roof lounge and that Jen will be with him.”
See, that’s what we’re talking about! We want these two feeding each other chocolate-dipped strawberries and reminiscing—and not at separate hotels on separate days.
As Mondale can attest, honesty doesn’t win elections—or cover wars.

Wish Angeline was by his side! I like to see them both together and full of love…
this movie will not go well at the BO the reviews are bad. sorry.
These Tabloids are so desperate for money ,They will print anything,I’m sure Jane Pitt would pass phone to Brad.The Pitts are good people they don’t play nasty little games .They love Brad and Angie and children,they want what is Best for Family.Not some 40 year old who has been seeing mental Dr. for 10 years.Plus Jane loves her Grandkids.It’s all made up I’m positive Jane does not talk to the x.Just tabs need money.I’m sure X loves having her face all over Tabs.
Helen @ 08/27/2008 at 3:42 pm Awwwwww so he won for best actor again….that is soo good…so see, we shouldn’t pay attention to the negative reviews…If he won this award is because the movie is great and his performance was great.
***************************************
No he only won VFF best actor for TAOJJ last year, but was handed the award this year, its like winning twice, which Brad joked thanking them for winning last year and this year. Brad’s wit is great.
BAR is out of competition this year I think and the festival has just started, so there is best actor award yet.
Oh dear God! Why don’t you trolls have a meeting and decide what is the talking point(s) for today. Y’all can’t run from blog to blog with different talking points ok? FOCUS, trolls, FOCUS!
Which one is it?
A) Brad is old, gray moustache, ugly, nose hair
B) Botoxed Brad
Brad can’t be looking old, with all the wrinkles and creases if he is well…botoxed up like Maniston!
FOCUS! Children..now post and hate away!
This movie looks so funny, I can’t wait to see it.
Why is my comment awaiting moderation!!!

Yeah, that’s why it got 4/5 Stars:
August 27, 2008
Burn After ReadingWendy Ide at the Venice Film Festival
****
Joel and Ethan Coen call upon a heavyweight cast of regular collaborators (George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins) and newcomers to the Coen repertory group (Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton) for their follow-up to the Oscar-winning No Country For Old Men. And then the brothers gleefully despatch half of their stars in a hail of bullets and blunt weapons.
This is the Coens’ first self-penned original screenplay since The Man Who Wasn’t There in 2001, and it has in common with some of their earlier pictures, specifically Raising Arizona and Fargo, a savagely comic taste for creative violence and a slightly mocking eye for detail. It also shares with these films one of the Coen Brothers preferred themes: that of inept criminals, or more specifically the ordinary Joe who thinks he or she can pull off one ingenious heist that will turn their luck around.
It’s hard to think of anyone less suited to a life of crime than Pitt’s character Chad. Most toddlers have better extortion skills. Chad is a bouncing puppy of a man; a fitness trainer at Hard Bodies gym and the best buddy of fellow Hard Bodies employee Linda (McDormand). Linda has an aching loneliness inside which she attempts to fill with unrewarding hook ups on internet dating sites and the dream of a new life bought through extensive cosmetic surgery. But all the butt-sculpting and face-stretching that she requires comes at a price, so when the gym cleaner finds a disk that appears to contain what Chad describes as “top secret sensitive ****”, Linda scents the chance of a windfall and Chad skips happily along beside her.
The disk in fact contains the whiskey-sodden ramblings that former CIA agent Osbourne Cox (Malkovich, who ties with Pitt for the film’s funniest performance) considers to be the beginnings of his memoir. Cox is struggling from the wreckage of a motorway pile-up of personal crises – he has quit his job, his wife (Swinton, delivering her lines with a scrotum-shrivelling ferocity) is tired of him and two imbeciles are trying to blackmail him. Little does Cox know but his wife is having an affair with a man he despises: married family friend and federal marshal Harry (Clooney). And in a coincidence that only the Coen brothers are audacious enough to pull off, Harry is also seeing Linda, having met her while sleazing around internet dating sites.
Carter Burwell’s brilliant score is the most paranoid piece of film music since Quincy Jones’s neurotic soundtrack for The Anderson Tapes – it’s particularly well-judged as it brings a gravity to a collection of characters who we could otherwise dismiss as numbskulls and nincompoops. The attention to detail is impeccable: the Coens can even raise a laugh with something as simple as a well-placed photograph of Vladimir Putin (the Russian Prime Minister gazes down from wall at Pitt and McDormand with the murderous expression of a tiger shark about to chew its way through a mouth full of particularly stupid herrings).
If the film does lack something, it’s warmth. The affection you felt from the Coens for the misguided fools in Fargo or Raising Arizona is lacking here for everyone except Jenkins’ hapless and hopelessly love sick gym manager. And while the film carries the audience with its entertaining, if somewhat ludicrous, blend of high level espionage and ab-toning exercises, it would perhaps be more rewarding if we could like the characters as well as laugh at them.
Rating: 4/5

Clooney, Pitt leave personal questions open
Aug. 27, 2008, 11:29 AM EST
VENICE, Italy (AP) — George Clooney and Brad Pitt: Bachelor and family man.
Inevitably, a news conference Wednesday promoting their new Coen brothers film, “Burn After Reading,” turned to the birth of Pitt’s twins with partner Angelina Jolie, and whether his good friend would ever settle down.
Clooney, 47, put on a look of mock bemusement.
“I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I have been asked that,” Clooney said. “I am getting married and having a child today.”
Pitt, whose brood has grown to six children with the birth of twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline last month, offered to share his children with Clooney, adding deadpan: “I’ll have two more by next year.”
The movie, which premieres Wednesday at the Venice Film Festival, is a tale about idiots — and what happens when their worlds collide.
Pitt, 44, looked flustered as a Spanish TV journalist pushed her way to the front of the press conference dressed in red gym shorts similar to garb he wears as a gym trainer in the film. She asked Pitt if he would help her work out.
“It’s a movie,” Pitt reminded her.
“Would you run after me?” she asked Clooney and Pitt.
“I think we’re more likely to be running away from you,” Clooney replied to laughter.
Several times Clooney good-naturedly ran interference for Pitt, who was peppered with questions about his personal life. Asked about the infants, Clooney intervened: “The twins are fine,” then joked that he and Pitt were sitting at opposite ends of the podium because of a restraining order.
And when another questioner asked if they would rather win an Oscar or fall in love with an Italian woman in Venice, Clooney warned: “Don’t answer that, Brad.”
PEOPLE is reporting that Brad won Best Actor award (second year in a row) for Burn!!!

Are you talking about Traveling, Management, He’s and that into you and the dog movie???? You’re so right they will not do well at the box office.
cathereine i dont think its a good movie based on the first review from variety and the writter is right will not be good at b.o.
Sorry didn’t realize the info about him winning Best Actor in Burn was already posted. Was so excited for him I posted before looking. He is a grossly underrated actor! Hope he gets even more recognition as the film premieres elsewhere.

I don’t care, I for sure will see this movie.
did he really win?? or is that just a hater poster claiming he did not??
Go and support Brad’s movies.
Screendaily Review
The first film in the Coen Brothers’ two-picture pact with Focus Features and Working Title is a smart urban screwball comedy about the perils of idiocy that uses its all-star cast to dazzling and often hilarious effect. A beautifully produced mix of spy story, US zeitgeist satire and relationship drama, Burn After Reading cons the audience into seeing depths – and Fargo parallels – that don’t really exist. The consumate, near-throwaway ending sets the record straight: it’s a feelgood comedy so enjoy the ride and don’t take it all so seriously.
Central to the film’s appeal is the Washington DC setting with its brownstones, prim parks, viaducts, faux country mansions and fitness clubs. One of these is the overcrowded Hardbodies where Linda Litzke (McDormand) works alongside her gushy but gutless colleague Chad Feldheimer (Pitt). When the hapless duo find a CD containing the ‘classified’ memoirs of irate, alcoholic CIA agent Osborne Cox (a perfectly cast, self-parodying Malkovich), a half-baked blackmail scheme arises. Meanwhile, Cox’s cold, calculating English wife Katie (Swinton) is having an affair with Harry Pfarrer (Clooney), who also meets and beds women he meets online – including Linda. He does this more out of distraction than through any lack of affection for his own wife Sandy (Marvel).
The script was apparently written with the cast in mind, and it works. As with the Oceans franchise, Burn After Reading’s feelgood factor has as much to do with A-list actors having fun as it does with comic timing. Pitt’s turn as an airhead, blonde-highlighted gym instructor suggests that he would fit snugly into the bumbling numbskull role the Coens have so far given George Clooney. Clooney himself gets an equally tasty workout as a fitness- and sex-obssessed federal marshal who is too dim to realise that he is in love with his wife, while McDormand is solid as a no-longer-young single woman lost in the dating jungle, who is pinning all her hopes on cosmetic surgery. Malkovich and Swinton, more typecast but no less enjoyable for all that, round out a film that will derive much of its marketing muscle from those names on the poster.
As in Fargo, the classic Hollywood dramatic springboard – people making the wrong decisions – spreads to become a kind of existential miasma: even in the city that supposedly governs hearts and minds worldwide, brains are furred, the simplest acts of interpersonal communication are riven with difficulty, and even the CIA (led by a brilliantly offhand JK Simmons) hasn’t got a clue what’s going on. But there are glimpses too of real societal dilemmas – Linda’s complaint that “I have got about as far as I can with this body”; Harry suddenly surprised by the fact that, amidst his philandering, he misses his wife; a brief but well-judged scene in which Osborne Cox tells his mute, wheelchair-bound, father – himself a former CIA operative – that he has failed him.
Children Of Men DoP Emmanuel Lubezki gives the film a dark, autumnal look that lends its screwball antics a melancholy twist. Carter Burwell’s driving orchestral soundtrack – at times elegaic, at times menacing – also contributes to this tonal counterpoint, setting up echoes with No Country For Old Men – another yarn about bad decisions.
The Guardian Review
The Venice film festival got off to a rousing and star-studded start with the latest offering from the Coen brothers. Burn After Reading finds room for George Clooney, Brad Pitt and John Malkovich - along with Tilda Swinton who, improbable as it may seem after all those years slogging it out for low-budget avant-gardists like Derek Jarman, Sally Potter and John Maybury, is now supping at the high table of Hollywood aristocracy. And the Coens themselves are new enough to the big leagues for them to still feel they are blinking owlishly in the spotlight.
The film itself may be a bit of an afterthought down here on the Lido. Clocking in at a crisp 95 minutes, Burn After Reading is a tightly wound, slickly plotted spy comedy that couldn’t be in bigger contrast to the Coens’ last film, the bloodsoaked, brooding No Country for Old Men. Burn, in comparison, is bit of a bantamweight: fast moving, lots of attitude, and uncorking a killer punch when it can.
Set in Washington DC, at the heart of America’s political establishment, it moves in four directions at the same time. Osbourne Cox (Malkovich) is a superannunated CIA analyst who is given the push and rancorously starts writing his memoirs. A computer disc containing his alarming-sounding background material falls out of a bag in a gym locker-room, where it ends up in the gormless clutches of Chad Feldheimer (Pitt) and Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand) who run the place; their instant reaction is to try a little blackmail. The cosmetic surgery-obsessed Litzke is also scouring internet dating sites and starts something with serial adulterer Harry Pfarrer (Clooney), who has an unspecified job in the Treasury dept, but is overly proud of his past in “PP” (that’s “personal protection” to the likes of us). But he is already having an affair with Cox’s wife Katie (Swinton) - and it’s the latter’s sneaky investigation of her husband’s financial resources as she gears up for a divorce that triggers the whole information-loss plot-thread.
With such a profusion of attention-grabbing performers, it’s hardly surprising that the first narrative motor - the fools-after-money trope of which the Coens appear so fond - is swiftly subordinated to backstabbing emotional shenanigans; we soon find ourselves watching a particularly murderous account of marital high-jinks among moneyed social elites. (In this regard, the Coen film it most resembles is the divorce-lawyer comedy Intolerable Cruelty.) It’s also stuffed with the usual throwaway brilliancies: McDormand, for example, has a running gag with a computerised switchboard that can’t recognise she is speaking English, while Swinton does a very subtle bit of eye-acting to suggest she’s actually turned on by the thought of rooting through her husband’s bank records. Pitt, in fact, gets the best of the funny stuff, but has by some way the least screen time of all the principal cast.
Where does this film leave the Coens? Their unique position, as darlings of both the Hollywood set and the festival circuit, is unchanged. What they have managed to come up with here, somehow, is a light-as-fluff flipside to hardcore “insider” films like All the President’s Men, Michael Clayton or, indeed, The Insider: it paints the powers-that-be as goofy, chaotic and definitively non-sinister. This lot, you feel, couldn’t bug their way out of a paper bag.
Burn After Reading may also go down as arguably the Coens’ happiest engagement with the demands of the Hollywood A-list - but this bit of career development may also be contributing to a diminishing of their particular film-making strengths. Or perhaps they are simply evolving. The highly-wrought grotesqueries with which they made their name seem well in the past; stars find it difficult to merge with the scenery. For better or worse, their films are now more simply natural to look at and experience. Whether it will pay off again at the Oscar ceremony or box-office remains to be seen.
Hello to all Jolie Pitt fans from Europe!!
I can not wait for this movie!! It looks great, and Coen brothers are four time Academy Award winning filmmakers!! So to “ja” and all other haters, please, you are all pathetic, you would give anything if Aniston could be in a movie from them, so here only we can see your hate and nothing else!!
I love Brad, I like him better now than ever, he finally looks like 44-year old man and a father of six - and in my opinion there is nothing as sexy as a devoted father!!
Brad did not pick up his trophy last year, so they just presented it to him. Congrats on receiving the trophy and congrats on the twins.
Congrats to Brad for winning the best actor award.
More favorable reviews are coming in!!!! The movie looks hilarious!!!
Can’t wait to see it!!!!!!

The writer at People.com is an idiot. The trophy handed to Brad was for his Best Actor last year. He did not win this year as the ceremony has just started and BAR is not even in the competition, its out of competition.
=========================
>b> A stunned Brad Pitt was awarded the best actor trophy on Wednesday at the Venice International Film Festival, the same honor he was given last year for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
“I guess you forgot something here years ago,” said the mistress of ceremonies. Holding up the gold cup to honor Pitt’s performance in the upcoming dark comedy Burn After Reading, she said, “Brad, this is yours.”
xxxxxxxx
LOL!
I think the writer did not realize that the first paragraph contradicts the 2nd paragraph. If one is only skimming and not reading carefully, one would assume that the award was for BAR. But then how can that be when the festival just started!
Oh well! Congratulations to Brad anyway!
hooray
You are right, the excitement of him winning in the headline had me reading the story wrong!
From People:
A stunned Brad Pitt picked up his best actor trophy that he was awarded for last year’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
“I guess you forgot something here years ago,” said the mistress of ceremonies Wednesday at the Venice International Film Festival. Holding up the gold cup to honor Pitt’s performance in the film, she said, “Brad, this is yours.”
Pitt – attending the Venice film festival opening ceremony to premiere Burn After Reading – looked surprised as he walked up onstage.
“Congratulations for your twins,” she also told Pitt as she handed him the trophy.
“You can run but you can’t hide,” Pitt said laughing. “It was an honor to receive this last year and it’s an honor to receive it this year. Thank you very much.”
The mistress of ceremonies then held up a yellow flower. “This is for your friend George,” she told Pitt referring to George Clooney, his Burn After Reading costar.
dont worry bout jens movie it good for sure better than pitt we have high hopes. you should care pitts film its not good this according to some reviews.otherwise go and watch it yourself.
Brad Pitt. What an idiot. What a fake little chameleon. What a digusting human being. Evidently he was always ugly on the inside, now his outside matches.

what’s wrong w/ the thread??
LMAO@ yellow flower for George. Holy moly, the one, the only Brad Pitt is damn gorgeous.
ja @ 08/27/2008 at 4:40 pm
Why are you so hateful person, I already said, Coen brothers are four time Academy Award winning filmmakers, they are great filmmakers and I think that there is no actor or actress that would turn down an opportunity to work with them! Including Aniston, and you all know that!! Only because her movies like “Rumor has it” and some others were so bad, and her movie “He is not something” is pushed back two times, now you - Aniston fans - are being evil towards Brad and Angelina! Look, Brad and Angelina are not guilty if Aniston is not good actress, we all are responsible only for our work, ok? Don’t be hateful, it is not healthy!
Now I finally have to admit that George, while greyhaired and wrinkled, seems younger and fresher than Brad.
———old Brad Pitt—why don´t you come back?
Brad looks so hot, I wanna eat him up.
#138 I guess he was way to busy doing what is really important in life to worry about an award. Same a Jolie she doesn’t even know where her Oscar is.
…flop.
Over exposed? When did the last time you’ve seen Pitt out and about? Been a while, right? I think you meant, X is the one over exposed.
After the dumping by JM, she shopped, shopped, shopped in LA and then fly to NY to walk, walk, walk on the sidewalk. And stalked, stalked, stalked JM. All of these pr shenanigans in a futile attempt to be seen as a strong woman, not the PATHETIC one. It failed….
eeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr…… lovin his goatee!!!!!!!bit.ch anjie sooooooo lucky.
Brad Pitt and George Clooney together? That’s the way I like it! I love that he’s getting some “me time” for a couple of days and hanging out with his best bud. All daddys and mommys need “me time.” I hope they make the most of it and are having a blast in Venice!
Thanks for the pictures. BP looks mighty fine in a tux. He gets better and better as the years go by. The teens can have ZacChase, Papa Pitt is the Man. I am looking forward to seeing Burn After Reading. It looks like a screwball comedy. Peace to all.
[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 08/27/2008 at 4:57 pm

You mean like you said Wanted was going to be a ‘flop’ too? :lol:
Brad is absolutely gorgeous.
There is not coincidence that Shiloh is considered the most beautiful baby in the world : ) And she really is : )
Man, haters and Aniston sympathizers are twisting themselves into pretzels in hate and jealousy just because Brad is being feted in Venice and their idol is what? Trying to get a date with whoever is willing to trade dignity for publicity or money. What a comedown.
Oh, and Angelina is perfectly secure in the knowledge that her man won’t stay a minute more after all his obligations for his movie are met. Same thing in Toronto. The ex may pretend he’s interested in seeing her but she knows he can’t get away from her fast enough. He’s made his choice and he’s not about to let a good thing go. Angie and the kids are his whole world now.
*****hello to everybody on board….tlol, anoble, vicki, irma, guli, briseis, besane, felinelilly, nelah, ariel and NL, etc.
I don’t understand the reviews… Are they good or bad?
*waves at VickieFromTexas and Guli*
As far as the rag mag report:
we have all lost count of how many “Angie and Brad split up” reports have come out in the last 4 and a half years.
In the same last four in a half years those rags have screamed “Brad still loves Jen”
Give me a break!
1. Angie had a fulfilling life before Brad. She doesn’t NEED to cling to him to feel good about herself. She is doing what she has said over and over she loves the most: being a mother…..she doesn’t feel threatened by JA, after all Brad “been there done that” and LEFT that!
2. Brad is doing what he has said over and over is the most important to him: raising his family….spending time with his kids! Sure he had a night out with the “grownups” what parent doesn’t?
3. Brad and Angie aren’t held together by looks.
They are together because of their commitment to each other, the same values and their commitment to the children.
Anyone who has been in a relationship will tell you that looks will only get you so far, what makes or breaks a relationship is whether or not you share the same beliefs values and dreams.
He obviously has this with Angelina.
I don’t understand the reviews… Are they good or bad?
—————-
They are good. But there’s no Oscar Buzz like NCFOM or Fargo. It’s just good solid reviews.

Fug face Sci Fi boy needs to go and show Sci Fi Man and Robotwife some love. Maybe if he spam Katie’s thread, it would look like she has some support. Old girl has been rocking the jeans for two weeks now. Go Katie.

Holy jumpin’ catfish!!!
How can Brad win an award, given that the film isn’t in competition and it’s the premiere film of the festival?
People Mag… get some perspective! ;)
I know this have been posted but I have to say good for George! See I think Brad tries not to be rude and answer the questions because he knows if he don’t he will be skewered, but George can take it and not be phased as to whether or not they talk about him. Sounds like he kept the press junket in line with talking to everyone, not just Brad & Angelina. Even though I like hearing about the family I hope Brad & Angelina start doing this. Because the so-called paparazzi/media will sit there and ask personal questions through the whole press junket and not ask one thing about the movie. One or two questions are okay but noooo they have to take the whole show with it and total ignore the other actors/actresses that are there at the table.
*********************************************************************
When some reporters come face to face with A-list celebrities, their brains turn to mush.
Take this morning’s press conference at the Venice film festival. George Clooney and Brad Pitt were among the stars taking questions following the first screening of their latest movie “Burn After Reading”, directed by the Coen brothers.
Inevitably, the questions were personal as well as professional.
“I have a question, it’s very important,” said one male reporter from Brazil: “What do you think it’s (sic) better … to win an Oscar or to fall in love with a beautiful woman here in Venice?”
“Brad, don’t answer that,” Clooney said, trying to maintain a happy atmosphere despite the generally dire standard of questions.
Then came a female reporter from a Hong Kong TV channel: “I want to know how the twins are doing — are they looking more and more like you and Angie?” She was, of course, referring to Pitt’s newborn twins with Angelina Jolie.
Clooney again tried to come to the rescue: “The twins are fine.”
A British journalist enters the fray, asking Pitt: ”I’m just wondering whether you have plans for any more (children) and how many is enough?” and to Clooney: ”Any plans to settle down and have children yourself, if that’s not too personal a question?”
Clooney replied: “I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I’ve been asked that question. I am getting married and having children today. Brad?”
Pitt: ”And until then I’ll be sharing mine with him. I’ll have two more by next year.”
And finally, and it was really painful to watch, came a female reporter from Spain (and excuse the English):
“This is a question for Brad. Can I get closer? I am wearing like this because I want to sign up for your gym. What do I have to do to sign up for your gym like in the film, Brad? And if I sign up, would you be running after me? Both of you.”
Pitt: ”It’s a movie and I have no answer.”
Question: “If I sign up will you be running after me, George?”
Clooney: “I’m afraid, from the looks of it, we might be running from you.”
Hear, hear, George.

Film Review: Burn After Reading
Bottom Line: The Coen brothers are in a goofy mood as pure lunacy engulfs a spy thriller
By Kirk Honeycutt
Aug 27, 2008
George Clooney, left, and Frances McDormand in “Burn After Reading.”
Opens: Friday, Sept. 12 (Focus Features)
In “Burn After Reading,” the Coen brothers have taken some of cinema’s top and most expensive actors and chucked them into looney-tunes roles in a thriller set in and about Washington.
It takes a while to adjust to the rhythms and subversive humor of “Burn” because this is really an anti-spy thriller in which nothing is at stake, no one acts with intelligence and everything ends badly.
As a follow-up to last year’s multiple-Oscar winner “No Country for Old Men,” Joel and Ethan Coen clearly are in a prankish mood, knocking out a minor piece of silliness with all the trappings of an A-list studio movie. Those who relish this movie might treat this as the second coming of “The Big Lebowski”; those who don’t might wonder at a story in which no character has a level head. Signs look good, though, for a solid North American opening Sept. 12 following its opening-night debut at the Venice Film Festival.
NEW THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Access Hollywood and People Magazine need to hire new Interns or get some on-site reporters.. Too funny.
It is so annoying that all these rags continue to try and connect Brad and X. Everything Brad does is scrutinized and talked about. He leaves Angie to go to work and the headlines Brad leaves Angie for Venice. What the heck do they want? To break up Brad and Angies happy family. To give more sympathy headlines to X. Who as far as I am concerned really is a loser. No other X has milked their relationship with their more famous X as much as she has. I am sure Brad is probably regretting he ever married her in the first place. God Bless and protect the Jolie Pitts.
Absolutely gorgeous!
HOTNESS OVERLOAD.
There is no new thread.
People magazine is going the tab route.. printing without validating. Brad collected the trophy he won for Jesse James .. He hasnt won for BAR.
Jayla, it is all a ploy by the ragazines to create business to keep selling their lies until they become truth. Once it becomes truth then you got more ammunition to play with and keep the crap going. To me it is all a mental game on the celebrities it trashes and the fans who believe it. It really works when you have a celebrity that eventually buys into the lie and then reacts to the lies as if truth.
I think about Jessica & Nick’s marriage in this case. Since their show on MTV was popular the rags each week “Jessica is mad at Nick”, “Nick stormed out on Jessica”, “Is Joe Coming Between Them”, “Jessica Infidelity”, and “Nick cheating with a stripper”. They tried to refute it so much of it until the lies became their reality when one of the spouses of that relationship reacted, therfore creating a new line of gossip. I hate to say it but the same can be said for Brad’s first marriage and his present situation. The difference now with his new relationship is that he is with someone who do not thrive on reading what others think of her, Brad, their relationship or their family. There is no weak link anymore. I believe because of that they will sustain and if there is a breakdown in their relationship it will not be because of a tabloid rumor/lie that UsWeakly or OK magazine has reported .
What a beautiful father. I’m so sure Brad is so glad he married Angelina, precious sweetheart is so willing to have all the children he wants her to have. I love Brad and Angelina. Best couple in Hollywood.
LIKE AN IDIOT tabitha WENT RUNNING LOOKING FOR A NEW THREAD. WHAT A LOSER! BWAHAHA

BP gets the award for Best Actor in a Suit/Tux. The man is too yummy. Damn* those suits are tailored made and fit like a glove. Too fine.
Sorry ladies, I was testing to see if the trolls take the bait. They are sure fast moving out of here, don’t you think?..muahahahahahahaha……

Wow… the Hollywood Reporter tried to backhand The Big Lebowski? They just don’t know… dudes, especially 20-somethings, are ape$h*t over TBL and quite frankly, I tend to agree with them.
One of the funniest movies ever! And if BAR is considered a follow-up/companion piece to it, I am more there than I initially thought!

I just noticed Tilda Swinton is really tall! She looks taller than the guys.
Hot!!!. OMG, he looks so good!!.
I read that the first critics are great. I hope the film will open in my country very soon. Is a must see movie.

She’s actually the same height as George & Brad. It’s just that she’s wearing like 4 inch heels which makes her look over 6 feet.
I never listen to reviews, we all have different taste in movies. Just because the critics don’t like the film doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy it. I always go watch the films and judge the movie for myself.

Oh ok thanks. I can’t see the shoes.
Brad is taller than George by a couple of inches. I think Tilda is around 6 feet without heels. Georege is around 5′10.
I love Brad and he murders that tux but he needs to have that beard groomed.
For those people who always like to talk about Jen on this thread, please give us the latest news about John Mayer and Jen not Brad and Jen. I want to know how John is doing. Did he already find his Angelina Jolie ? Brad now belongs to Angie and the six children and is very happy.

Brad looks so much better clean shaven. Most men do! I hate that hair-in-a-circle-around-the-mouth thing. He still looks good, though.
We don’t know how Brad is supposed to look in his next movie, so leave the beard alone. He’s an actor. He looks very good.

Jen is currently seeking revenge. See previous threads posted. No change on that front yet, but stay tuned.
What a gorgeous man Brad Pitt is.
Hello ladies,
how are you this fine evening? Brad looks good. Hotness overload.
IMO, John M should hook up with Megan Fox (the Angie wantabee in looks only…..not substance).
I love Brad’s goatee, very sexy and manly.
LMAO! Jare flipped the names again.

Okay here are the heights courtesy of IMDB:
Brad Pitt: 5′ 11½”
George Clooney: 5′ 11″
Tilda Swinton: 5′ 10½”
Tilda is shorter than Brad and George by 1 inch, but looks taller than them in pictures because she always wears 4 inch heels. Neither Brad or George are 6 feet.

Her PR monsters both Kevin Huvane & Stephen are on a desperate resurrection tour…hence Radar’s ’spinning the spinster,’ TITLE they’re essentially telling you her PR flacks are spinning her in the aftermath of the Mayer dumping..from the ’showdown/reunion part deux’ tabloid headlines they’re feeding (just as they did last time), to a Woody ‘child & adopted daughter molesting’ Allen ‘meeting,’ at a papz infested hotspot, Kevin Huvane in tow. I guess she figures if she’s manless and childless at 40, at the least she could try and buy her way into some production that might not be her usually sh*tty fare…though woody can make some truly awful sh*t when he wants to. If he’s crazy enuf to put the TV sit-com hack in something..it’s almost a given it will be horrid. lol

Brad is 6 feet when he wears lifts/…Hollywood actors are shorter than what the websites claim they are…Angie is listed as 5′8 but in reality many people that have seen her say she is quite small, saying that she is 5′5 or 5′6 TOPS.
Anonymous @ 08/27/2008 at 7:06 pm —-we have gone thru ‘height gate’ way too many times over the years … I have to say, I’m sorry ..but you are wrong!!! please don’t post Brad’s highschool profile as proof and GC being 5′ 11″ ….in his dreams maybe …nope…BTW—I’m not trying to be rude, just being honest :lol: Not that it matters..but I prefer facts…JMHO!

You must be the only one who reads that trash magazine IN TOUCH. Anyone with some intelligence would never give that magazine a second glance let alone buying it. It is full of lies and inaccuracies. Last week’s cover was, Brad had worked out and Angie told him don’t bother coming back! This week Brad talking to maniston. God knows what they will come up with next week, may be, Brad has taken the twins and moved in with maniston and they have renamed them manie and dumpee. I guess you must be maniston’s fan and in your warped mind still believe maniston have a chance of winning Brad back, even though Brad announced to the whole world that Angie is the love of his life. Dream on! Brad and Angie are solid and are for life. Do you honestly think that Brad will leave his beautiful children and gorgeous Angie to move back with that horse face? Didn’t you see him with his two sons yesterday, it was in all the papers and on tv. Today in London most of the evening papers showed maniston wearing a ring on her wedding finger like she is married. She actually bought herself a wedding ring how pathetic! All the newspapers are mucking her. When you start having dinner with Woody Allen then your life is finished because the man is a pervert.
Brad is 6 feet tall, its just that tilda at 5′10″ is wearing 4 inch heels, so she seems taller by comparison.
It’s like when he’s standing next to Angie, it seems like she is about 2 inches shorter than him, but she is actually much shorter. She also tends to where 4 inch heels.

That woman who asked Brad & George if she can train with them is flirting too much. Brad’s only focus is his family.

Brad Pitt in OCEANS movies, GORGEOUS.
Brad Pitt in JESSIE JAMES movie, GORGEOUS.
…BRADS HOTTNESS IS BEYOND DISCRIPTION….at this point, his sexy intangeable…
Brads walk is sexy
Brads grin is sexy
Brads laugh is sexy
Brads voice is sexy
Brads squint is sexy
Brads heart is sexy
Brads choice in baby-momma’s is sexy…etcetera…etcetera!!!
…I miss Angie on the red carpet with him, but he is soooo fine! I’m not going to complain…
I will DEFINITELY see Burn After Reading and have already made plans with a co-worker…..I will also pick up the W MAGAZINE as soon as it comes out with the pictures taken by Brad.
…Brads performance in BAR is apparently HILARIOUS and is getting great reviews, so that alone is enough to get me to the theater…..I will ALLWAYS support Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Projects.
Chinnifer Man-lesston and her deluded fans are still mourning the fact that their botoxed/lip-injected idol is ALL ALONE YET AGAIN after a man has decided to pass on her….It’s getting quite embarrassing, and all the entertainment shows are picking up on it…
TMZ called Jen ‘Miss Cant Keep A Man’ and said that the word in hollywood is that jen is ‘clingy’ and that they can ’smell the desperation a mile away!’.
Inside Edition already confirmed that she got lip injections to acquire lips like the GORGEOUS ANGELINA JOLIE by placing photos of jen in 2005 compared to now…the difference was GLARINGLY OBVIOUS..
Another show said …”Jennifer Anistons boyfriends keep getting younger and younger…..WATCH OUT JONAS BROTHERS!!!”…..(that was hilarious!)…
Another show suggested that she start dating David Spade or Flavor Flav the rapper…..and today, TMZ called David Spade “SLOPPY SECONDS SPADE” because he seemed to be trying to cosy up to MANISTON by criticizing John Mayer about his interview revealing he DUMPED jen…..this from a guy who leaves nightclubs with SEVERAL woman, while he is suspected to have impregnated another woman entirely! Classy.
….Maybe David Spade IS the right man for Jen to date next, as she seems to be working her way DOWN the hollywood ladder…

I’m absolutely certain that if Angelina feels anything at all for Aniston, it’s a mixture of pity and contempt in equal proportions.
Actually, though, I don’t think she feels any way at all about Aniston. She’s just there. Like paint on the wall.

Thats why those reporters always end up mis-interpreting Angelina’s interviews.They’re stupid and they re-write for the stupidstons.

I think its definite Angie wont be attending Deuville next week, since the website only mentioned John Malcovich as presenting the Changeling.
But there is still hope that she might accompany Brad (with all the kids) to Toronto Film Fest since Brad im sure will go stateside afterwards to attend LA or NYC premiere of BAR.
If Angie stays behind, perhaps Brad will bring the girls (Zee &Shi) this time with him to TIFF leaving the boys with Angie and the twins.

Brad Pitt Excels as Idiot Gym Trainer in `Burn After Reading’
Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) — Brad Pitt, one of Hollywood’s most sought-after heroes, is knocked off his plinth in “Burn After Reading.”
The spy comedy, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, casts Pitt as a goofy personal trainer who blackmails a CIA agent with a disk carrying the agent’s memoirs. Too dumb to pull off the scam, he sparks senseless bloodshed on screen, and waves of laughter in the stalls. The movie yesterday opened the Venice Film Festival, where directors and cast met reporters at a packed press conference.
Roles were tailor-made for each individual actor.
“After reading the part they said was handwritten for myself, I was not sure if I should be flattered or insulted,” said the star, sporting a goatee and a panama that matched his summer suit. “I’m still a bit unsure.”
A weary-looking Joel Coen, sunglasses perched on his head, offered slim solace. “We have a long history of writing parts for idiotic characters,” said Joel, who, with brother Ethan, won three Academy Awards in February for the baffling murder story “No Country for Old Men.”
Pitt is one in a galaxy of idols to get bashed in “Burn After Reading.” Frances McDormand, his partner in crime, plays a single middle-aged woman who pines for plastic surgery. John Malkovich is the neurotic spy; Tilda Swinton, his snooty wife; and George Clooney, her lover, and everybody else’s.
The film opens at CIA headquarters, where bald Osborne Cox (Malkovich) has just been fired by a roomful of dark-suited superiors, and is raging back. He storms home to wife Katie, who goes shopping for cheese before he can tell his story.
Blue Pajamas
That night, in their tasteful Georgetown master bedroom, Cox — dressed, like his pediatrician wife, in crisp blue pajamas — tells Katie that he has quit, and is penning “a sort of memoir.” She responds with a snort.
A few scenes later, we meet a less well-heeled bunch. Linda Litzke (McDormand) is having her left buttock sized up by a plastic surgeon, who tots up the cost of taking “chicken fat” off her posterior, upper arms, and belly, and boosting her chest. “What about the face? You know, the window to the soul?” she probes, and gets her crow’s feet added to the wish list. Only, Linda can’t afford the treatment, and the insurers won’t pay.
Enter gum-chewing, lycra-clad Chad Feldheimer (Pitt), a personal trainer who inflicts pain on his clients, has an iPod all but grafted to his ears, and helps co-worker Linda pick Internet dates from among an array of losers. When the janitor finds the CIA disk in the ladies’ changing room, big-hearted, dim-witted Chad lets Linda in on his plan.
Menacing Pitt
Whenever victory seems near, Chad swerves his hips and gleefully punches the air — looking nothing like the dignified Pitt of the glossies, father of Angelina Jolie’s just-born twins. He tries to scare Cox into paying, half-closing his eyes when the two meet, and pronouncing Cox’s name with menacing emphasis. Pitt is the movie’s funniest character.
The other actors, who have as big a part, come a close second. Bearded Clooney offers fine comic moments as the slightly square federal marshal who is bad at sniffing trouble and, in his time off, builds the prototype of an armchair that pleasures women.
“I enjoyed working with them,” he said of the Coen brothers, “and playing an idiot.”
As always, Clooney, in an open-neck blue shirt and gray suit pants, triggered a mob scene of autograph seekers and cellphone snappers at the press conference. He showed off-screen repartee when an attention-seeking blond reporter, in skimpy shorts and a T-shirt, asked whether he’d run after her if she joined the gym. “Will I be running after you?” he deadpanned. “From the looks of it, we might be running from you.”
Security and Infidelity
With “Burn After Reading,” the Coen brothers have produced their freshest, lightest comedy yet, despite its dark overtones. Only they could successfully mix physical fitness, the CIA, Internet dating, national security, plastic surgery, and marital infidelity.
Their fast-paced film is a genre all on its own, a 21st- century spoof of spy movies, crime movies, and adultery movies. And notwithstanding the silliness, they bring out the best in the actors they employ. Rating:
Brad is going to be in and out of TIFF, his film is premiering on the unofficial first night of the fest, and he’ll be on his way, soon after it starts. Many star don’t even stay to watch their own films - they come in the front, and exit out the back, and that’s it.

Having queued 20 minutes to get in and another 30 for the talent to arrive, I was hoping I’d have something more substantial to report at the end of it.
But with up to 500 reporters present from who knows how many countries, it was always destined to be something of a dog’s dinner.
The film itself I found great fun, if a little lightweight - a comedy of errors involving some AWOL CIA memoirs that fall into the hands of two opportunistic gym instructors.
I also felt it ran out of steam well before the end.
It does, however, feature a Brad Pitt performance to savour as a gum-chewing exercise nut as thick as his dumbbells.
John Malkovich and Tilda Swinton also stand out as an alcoholic CIA operative and his cheating shrew of a wife.
I can’t say it’s Clooney’s finest hour, though, even if he does sport the same beard he won an Oscar with in Syriana.

Personally, I still favour Kev Fed. Also, a role in desparate housewife for x might be good for her career.
Hmmm It looks like Papa Pitt’s idiot gym rat Chad is the highlight of the film. And on that note: Back by popular demand, BP dancing as Chad.

Michael Bolton writes dopey, whiny love songs already. X does not need to be his creative muse.
Brad is 6 feet when he wears lifts/…Hollywood actors are shorter than what the websites claim they are…Angie is listed as 5′8 but in reality many people that have seen her say she is quite small, saying that she is 5′5 or 5′6 TOPS.
——–
Okay I think you’re exagerating the 5′6″ thing. Jolie used to be a fashion model when she was a teen, which means you have to be 5′9″ or over. According to IMDB and many other sources on google, she is 5;8″. If she was 5;6″ then she’d be really short. Jennifer Aniston is 5′5″, and we all know Jolie is taller than her.

Should we be surprised?
Whenever Brad Pitt is involved, female entertainment ‘journalists’ devolve to all kinds of stupid.
Nod Di Da Di, the Pirate Hooker, numerous tabloid ‘writers’, DiPandi, Matenopoulus, Peecrust… stupids, the lot of them.
It was embarassing watching that Spanish ‘journalist’. Did she really think that dressing like she’s on Let’s Make a Deal was going to make Brad rethink being with the Jolie?
That was ridiculous… instead of picking out Daisy Dukes, just do some fcuking research so your moment with Brad and/or George doesn’t rank with Britney’s VMA performance.
Much of what wattage there was, came on opening night, with the world premiere of the latest Coen Brothers’ film, “Burn After Reading.” A comedy set in the world of espionage, constructed around an interlocking set of misunderstandings and misrepresentations, it has something of the accumulative, shaggy-dog structure of “The Big Lebowski,” the one of their films it most closely resembles. More amusing than actually funny, it’s briskly-paced and well acted — Brad Pitt, in particular, is superb. The dialogue is sharp; it moves briskly. Still, something is missing.

She is probably more after George, after seing him with Sarah Larson.
queen bee, love your posts.
Thank you for posting the BAR article. I’m laughing just reading the synopsis, it’s gonna be hysterical. I can’t wait to see it. I don’t get excited about a lot of movies but I’m excited about Burn After Reading, I’m really looking forward to it! :)

….Maybe David Spade IS the right man for Jen to date next, as she seems to be working her way DOWN the hollywood ladder…

Hahaha…too funny queen bee. David Spade will be Jen’s next man…that would be a riot.
Looking forward to seeing more of Brad and Angelina in the fall as they promote their movies.
I am going to watch at the theaters too. It looks very funny besides it is brad , george and the C. brothers
I was talking about the review that bdj and no longer a lurker posted. Thanks.

I love that Brad is getting rave reviews. It appears he is the scene stealer of the movie.
Brad Pitt and George Clooney are egomaniacs.
They act like they are such philanthropists. All they care about is their upscale lifestyle and image.
FUNNY HOW NEITHER CHOSE TO ATTEND BERNIE MAC’S FUNERAL!!!!!!

There are new pics of Brad leaving the after party at 3:00am looking drunk as hell lol

I’m absolutely certain that if Angelina feels anything at all for Aniston, it’s a mixture of pity and contempt in equal proportions.
Actually, though, I don’t think she feels any way at all about Aniston. She’s just there. Like paint on the wall.
===================================================
i think you are right.
Seriously, without Angie, why do I find that his premiere is not that interesting?
LOL.
Brad is getting decent reviews because he plays an idiot. how hard would that be for him? a soap actor could play the part the same.
EVEN LAINEY says he’s better at non-serious movies. she says his Role in TROY was as bad as ben affleck. I usually don’t agree with her but she was right on with that one. Stick to cheesy characters in cheesy comedies and love stories than demand little to no range, Pitt.

That Brad Pitt will join the growing list of actors with their own official websites. This is increasingly what A list celebrities are doing to add to their creative brand. Publicists are becoming persona non grata as a result of this trend. Cut the middle man out and get the official word out on your own. Usually the domain (no pun intended) of younger industry members, now having your own blog or official site is becoming de rigeur as having a SAG card for many. Brad putting his publicist on hiatus may have been a clue that this new venture was in the works.
Brad partying untill 3.0am and US weekly and his fans have not said a word, if that was Angelina just out till midnight, his fans will be screaming, poor Brad, how can that Angelina leave him alone at home babysitting her children while she parties. Why again is he going to Toronto when George is not going. he brought the children and has hardly seen them because he has been busy getting drunk till 3in the morning and this is from you people’s bible, people magazine.
Poor Angelina, what did she get herself in with this poseur of a man, she gets slammed for everything while he gets away with everything, he is fake just like his pal George.

wow the troll is really hurting. All that screaming at the Ocean.. I like how the troll many personalities roll out at the same time. The moral outrage troll, the “he he” troll and the whiny troll.

That’s because all the Jolie haters are women. And we all know women will always blame the other woman not the man. Jolie gets the blame because she’s a woman. Men are not catty like women.

Where are the photos ? even if it is true it was a party he is a grown man not a teenager. If he was there the whole cast and crew must be there too,Why you pick only him?

the real lou @ 08/28/2008 at 12:03 am
The troll is looking for another Golden Couple. Katie and Tom is too Sci Fi, so Ben and Jen is the default couple. They are still heartbroken on their Golden Couple of yesteryears. Sad I know. BP will never be forgiven for moving on with his life, having a wonderful partner and 6 adorable children and a striving career. All that whiny, voodoo and smearing by the hens have not garnered the results they were hoping for.
Sad bunch of deranged hens. You can’t argue with a fool.
From the reviews so far, it seems Brad is the best part of this movie. I am looking forward to this movie. Brad is such a talented actor. He can’t play any role. He is the sexiest man on this planet.
Brad Pitt is seriously a beautiful man- handsome from the outside, good, grounded from within. Almost 20 years in hollywood, he still makes women and men swoon. Angelina Jolie is one lucky woman, she has Brad’s heart, shares his life and goals and bonded forever by their children.

The mental idiot LUV ANGIE finally uses her name again. She was under different name this morning and Jared outed her.
This Lulla poster defines the superlative of idiocy, hysterically criticizing Brad but the truth is, she just can’t handle the good fortunes of Brad Pitt.
Lulla, get help for your own sake !
I think it’s a good idea for celebs to have their official websites. The tabs will have a hard time making up stupid stories, such as Brad taking Shiloh to see Jen, per example.
when the crazy woman was coming on to him, he could have shut her down like George did, but there he was smiling like a fool because he did not have the balls. Angelina only needs to step out for an hour and his fans are praising him as the best father, but never praise angelina for the awesome mother that she is. look at the poseur and his friend getting drunk till 3 in the morning in the name of raising funds for Dafur, I am sure those dafurians are happy that these two poseurs are getting drunk on their behalf and angelina goes to the refugee camp to visit them and donate her own mother.

Gay men are also tabloid consumers.
Jolie won’t be at Deauville Film Festival next week. On it’s site, it says that John Malkovich presents the film. She didn’t accompany Brad to yesturday’s Venice Film Festival premiere of Burn After Reading, so she most likely won’t attend Deauville. This will be two months since Jolie has made a public appearance on the red carpet. It will also be 5 months since Jolie has been photographed out&about by the paparazzi. So much for being a “media *****”.
Burn after Reading will find its audience no matter what the critics say. I for one will see it when it opens. Hopefully it will be a box office hit.

seriously and haven’t they been divorced almost as long as they were married anyway?
Only the phony celebrities like Jennifer Aniston will need a publicist and who will not survive in HW without her publicist Huvane.
Angie doesnt have a publicist and an agent and she is the hottest HW actress today, because not only that she has real talent but she is honest about herself and a true professional.
Miss Angie, she adds spark and glamour to premiers. Brad looks hot but it seems like something is missing without Angie. Read somewhere in one of mag when talking about looks said that Brad looks better with his goatee and salt/pepper look that it helped the shape of his face.
As for Brad partying until 3:00 AM. Typical male! I agree if Angie did this, it would be all over the media and of course a man would be involved some type of way. Double standards.
I am sure Angie does not mind, the boys are asleep and with the nanny. Just wonder how Brad acted when the boys woke him up at 6:30 AM?
Angie said that she did not want someone to be committed to her but to be committed to her children. Hopefully Brad spent some special time with the boys during the morning before going to the photo shoot, maybe in the pool.
As for Angie being concerned about X, that is the last thing on her mind. She has more important matters to keep her busy, her kids. I really think her kids are the most important thing in her life.
Brad and X running into each other, sure the tabz will play it up, Angie is not worried. I am sure Brad is not stupid. He knows how far he can go with Angie. I don’t think Brad is interested in X, that horse is dead. I wouldn’t be surprise though if X showed up at the premier but I don’t think she is that brave. There are celebs who attend premiers to see the movie. She may do it just for the press. I just wonder what Brad would do if it happen.
As for X calling Brad’s mom. That did not happen, who in that household would tell the tabz all about their conversation? How would they know. Anytime personal information is given out like that, you know it is not true.
My loyalty is with Angie first, I like Brad, think he is handsome and a good person but Angie is my girl.
passing through, where are you? you have to read michael k’s bit on o.j. and his girlfriend. it is too funny. lmao.
Next stop for Brad will be TIFF. I can’t wait to see him there. TIFF loves him. Every time he is there, there is frenzy.
Is there a US premiere for BAR? When and where ?
Everyone’s getting their own websites or blogs. How many times do we hear “on so and so’s blog/website today, he/she confirmed the pregnancy, engagement, breakup, new role”,etc? We’ve all felt the wrath of Rosie O’Donnell and Roseanne Barr’s personal blogs and were all “stoked” by Matthew McConaughey’s dissertation about having a child on his blog. Seems like it’s the way to go. It’s better than a myspace.
Wouldn’t this little guy and Vivienne make a gorgeous couple? :)

:lol: jill, isn’t it a bit too early to be a matchmaker? i have to agree the little guy is cute, who’s he?
so how was the movie being rated is it good or bad. vote pls.
BAD!
Good point Vicki (#352), this January (a mere 3 months away) it will be 4 years since they announced their ‘official separation.’
But as everyone knows, they were TOAST loooong before that.
Some say that for at least a year prior there was an ‘unofficial’ separation (6 mos here, 3 mos there), and tthen the 4 yr union dwindles to an ‘actual,’ 2 yr union.
Brad & Angelina, are inseparable, always together, and it’s been that way since spring of 05.
Already Brad & Angie, have spent more REAL time together than Brad & Man EVER did. Hands down, Brad is AJ’s longest relaionship ever, also.

You didn’t recognize his daddy in the photo? That’s Chris Noth and his little boy. He’s seven months old now and he’s gonna be a heartbreaker.

Who are the three most powerful women in the world?
Liz Smith
Gossip columnist says
3. Don’t laugh–Angelina Jolie, as reformed weirdo sex object, is now a big player in international philanthropy as it regards saving and improving the lives of children. She is living her lessons and influencing young people. And she and Brad Pitt are giving away money hand over fist. Although she may be a movie star, she is a successful one in a business where there are very few of her ilk anymore. She is becoming a role model for the large worldwide group of indulgers in pop culture, and she is deadly serious. She is also one of the most beautiful women in the world, and she has an influence that is larger even than she thinks it is. She is oddly, also, humble about her place in the universe. She, of all the stars in movies, doesn’t even have a press agent.
Lily Tomlin says
Actress
2. Oprah Winfrey and Angelina Jolie (thanks, Liz) because they’ve used their fame and money to make such a huge difference. They’ve both raised consciousness around the world. They’ve each proven by personal commitment just how much one person can make a difference.

Brad Pitt really is the world’s most beautiful man. He is HOT. He looks dapper in the tuxedo. This movie looks hilarious. Most of the reviews are good and Brad got rave reviews about his performance. I am excited about this movie and CCOBB specially CCOBB which looks beautiful and amazing. A beautiful love story. Can’t wait.
oh really a good review. But it will not do well at box office. Its so true. promise im willing to bet.come on!
Papa Pitt looks so gorgeous. GC looks good too.

So um gena, just how stupid do you think people are? LOL You’re either a troll, a tabloid staffer, or a really REALLY dumb fan.
Lesson #1: regurgitating tabloid sh*t doesn’t work well on fansites, they’re too well informed.
Premieres and red carpets are very high security, and limited only to the principals inolved in the film, and who THEY are bringing.
aniston, even IF she had the balls to do it, and wanted another round of humiliation - could no more decide to just ‘GO,’ to a premiere she wasn’t on the list for and had nothing to do with, than YOU could gena, you simple f–king stupid tabloid troll.
If anyone even let her set just ONE of her gnarly overly baked burnt orange toes onto th red carpet would be fired immediately.
The red carpets are run with military precision, the staff and security at venues know EXACTLY who is coming, and how many BAR cars with red carpet guests will be showing. THAT is a list that is cleared and okayed by the cast and directors. No one else gets in and goes to the stage area but those in the film.
Films screening at the Galas, are to introduce the principals, cast and director to the audience at TIFF — they are introduced, walk out on stage, talk a bit, and then either take their seats in their special section or they leave.
Premieres are for those stars, and the people they want to come.
Oh, and one more thing troll - there are no pictures of parties or Brad coming out of parties at 3am. So stop spreading your smelly silly sh-t.
I wish Angie was at VFF with Brad. I don’t know when we will see Angie. She will not go to Deauville. I don’t think she will go to TIFF. The hope is New York film festival or Changeling US premiere. By then, the twins will be three months.
The Coen Brothers upcoming CIA comedy “Burn After Reading” has just hit the Venice film festival, and not everyone is loving it. And just as we kind of suspected all along (or seemingly anyhow), it’s a little too buffoonish for it’s own good.
This stand to reason, outside of “No Country For Old Men,” the Coens have been very hit and miss where their comedy is concerned in recent years and people seemt to have forgotten this.
The Hollywood Reporter is calling ‘Reading’ a “minor piece of silliness.” “Their review calls the film an “anti-spy thriller in which nothing is at stake, no one acts with intelligence and everything ends badly. Those who relish it might treat it as the second coming of ‘The Big Lebowski’; those who don’t might wonder at a story in which no character has a level head.”
We actually liked some of the minor comedy works of the Coens in recent years, or at least moments of them (”Intolerable Cruelty,” “The Lady Killers”), but there’s no getting around the fact most of them are flawed films that **** the bed in the third act and sometimes rather badly.

Much of what wattage there was, came on opening night, with the world premiere of the latest Coen Brothers’ film, “Burn After Reading.” A comedy set in the world of espionage, constructed around an interlocking set of misunderstandings and misrepresentations, it has something of the accumulative, shaggy-dog structure of “The Big Lebowski,” the one of their films it most closely resembles. More amusing than actually funny, it’s briskly-paced and well acted - Brad Pitt, in particular, is superb. The dialogue is sharp; it moves briskly. Still, something is missing.
