WTF, George Clooney has an Academy award wtf does he need to hang on to Brad for? They are both attractive men, damn people are just hateful.

African Girl @ 08/27/2008 at 11:36 am

Ughhhh! I guess Lainey was right about BP and JA bumbing into each other.

The fact that it’s only on the front page of justjared.com or that BP is in Venice and JA is in Beverly Hills are of little or no significance, the point is Lainey said they will bump into each other and they practically bumping noses here. Besides both cities have Vs and Es. What more proof do you doubting thomasinas need to accept Lainey knows her stuff? She is so on the Money, I’m begining to suspect Holly is back to her leaking stories schtick again.

Thanks Jared! You da man!

Oy! I see you still riding BP’s tail. Okay that didn’t come out right. You still on BP’s behind? Hmmm, a’ight ignore that too. What is up… whenever you see BP…I give up! I can’t write for nothing this morning. See every time I start writing, I have this image of you kissing & caressing a glossy pix of BP, blubbering “Why won’t you love me back? Why? Why?”

Thanks Jared for the new pictures.Brad looks very handsome.

Voted Most Popular

Watching them together is like that, non? High school all over again. The two most popular boys, sauntering side by side down the hall, parting the crowds, smiling easily at their subjects, the most confident gait, never in a hurry, but not terribly slow, and always a secret conversation buzzing between them that you desperately, desperately want to hear.

This is George Clooney and Brad Pitt. So effortlessly cool you want badly to be their friend. And if you say you don’t, I don’t believe you.

The two are in Venice – last night it was a Darfur fundraiser, shaking hands with rich Euros in the hopes of shaking out a cheque.

Love that a suit is never just a suit for Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is a clothes horse. Amazing.

This morning it was a photo call and press conference for Burn After Reading. As expected, they were at it again – inside jokes, teasing each other, relaxed and playful…two kings co-existing easily.

Can’t wait to see them in Toronto.

Geez. Porgie sure is short. I knew the IMDB had his height wrong at 5′10″. He’s more like 5′7″ with Tiny Tom lifts.

this guys are super sexy, you can hate on them but at the end of the day they are sexy, rich and the haters killing themselves softly with jealousy while typing stupid comments about them.

Brad Pitt: ‘The Twins Are Fine’

By Courtney Rubin

Originally posted Wednesday August 27, 2008 08:45 AM EDT

Two months after of the birth of Knox and Vivienne, Brad Pitt told reporters at a Venice press conference Wednesday, “The twins are fine.”

He then raised his water glass like a toast, and took a sip.

Pitt and his pal George Clooney are in Italy’s City of Bridges to promote their film Burn After Reading, which has its world premiere Wednesday night at Venice’s annual film festival.

Pitt had arrived Tuesday with sons Maddox and Pax, while Clooney – who owns a home on Lake Como – told reporters he’d been in Italy “for a couple of months.”

The pair joked their way through the press conference, knocking back personal questions with charm – and a few winks.

Asked if he planned on getting married and having children, Clooney, 47, said: “I am so surprised to hear that question. This honestly is the first time I’ve ever been asked that question. I’m getting married and having children today.”

Added 44-year-old Pitt: “And until then, I’ll be sharing mine with him.”

Then – in response to a question about how many kids were enough – Angelina Jolie’s other half wisecracked, “I’ll have two more by next year.”

Together an Awful Lot
Clooney, who noted he and Pitt only had one scene together in Burn After Reading – which is the first movie from the Coen Brothers since their Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men – joked that his frequent costar was sitting at the opposite end of the dais “because there’s a restraining order.”

The pair did get serious, however, when asked whether they’d prefer to be in Venice or in Denver, for the Democratic National Convention.

“I’m happy to be here. This is one of my favorite places in the world to be,” Clooney said. “I like to watch the conventions on TV. I think the stars of the convention should be the people who are being elected.”

As for the upcoming election, he added, “I’m pessimistic, but I’m optimistic. I think it’s a very exciting time in American politics.”

Pitt chimed in: “I’m optimistic, too. It’s a vital time. It’s a defining time. I’m excited about where things are going.”

Daddy Pitt looks gorgeous!!!!

Venice Film Festival: Brad Pitt hints he and Angelina Jolie will have more children
http://www.telegraph.co.u…l-have-more-children.html

The actor, 44, recently became the father of twins by partner Angelina Jolie, adding to the four children they already have.

But, asked if the couple would be stopping at six, Pitt, said: “I’ll have two more by next year.”

His co-stars, including George Clooney and Tilda swinton, were left unsure as to whether or not he was being serious.

Pitt looked as if his hectic parenting schedule and early morning feeds were taking their toll as he arrived for the first day of the festival, where his new film Burn After Reading is kicking off proceedings.

Clooney was asked if spending time with the Pitt-Jolie clan had convinced him it was time to settle down and become a father.

Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor joked that the question was well-timed because he would be “getting married and having children today”, while Pitt added: “Until then, I will be sharing mine with him.” image

Pitt and Clooney provided some welcome glamour to the festival, which this year is short on Hollywood films and A-list stars.

Burn After Reading is the latest offering from brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, the writers and directors of last year’s multiple Oscar winner, No Country For Old Men.

The black comedy features Pitt and actress Frances McDormand as a pair of gym employees who stumble across a computer disc containing the memoirs of a CIA agent (John Malkovich).

Clooney plays a federal marshall who becomes embroiled in the plot.

Both Clooney and Pitt are figures of fun in the film. McDormand quipped: “What’s interesting about this movie is that it is all about middle-aged losers. George Clooney and Brad Pitt as losers - that’s novel.”

The costume designers were tasked with making the pair look like “dorks”, but that proved something of a challenge.

Costumier Mary Zophres explained: “I’m the luckiest costume designer in Hollywood, for sure. But getting George and Brad to look like ordinary guys? Even cheap suits look better on Brad.”

Are you the nanny?

Have they come knocking at your door, begging you stay up?

Are the kids sending you SOS messages? (What you think you hear is not them, that’s just one of the symptoms of your psychosis)

As we speak at least, 10 couples are in the middle of conceiving, 10 teenager girls, 10 village women, 10 city women are having babies right now, are you planning on sending your over population rant to them?

If your answer is NO to any of the above, then do us all a favor and Shut Eff Up!

Jaye and your other sn… You seem to make no sense at all yourself. An Academy Award…wow! because he has a trophy for “acting”, you try to make a point that he cannot be self absorbed or insecure? yah right. And by the way, I didn’t think he deserved the award but thats political Hollywood for you.

OMG would you people sometimes get a life when it comes to being overly sensitive about Brad, George, Tom, ****, and Harry! Its amazing how emotional people get here.

You mentioned interviews. Thats great that they mention each other, but ever since they became friends, George feels the need to mention Brad’s name every chance he gets. Hes clingy and thats that. Oh yah, a lackey is one those people that clings to one of their friends. At times, those friends “make” their lackey do things for them. So read the context again for “Jock Lackey”.

He looks like such an angel in pic #16!

Counterpoint: Brad’s the dreamier boat

Greg Gangelhoff

I was sunning on my yacht the other day when a thought struck me: Brad Pitt is hotter than a woman’s ****** after a trip to a Mexican brothel. It seems that not everyone agrees with me, though, and some would even go so far as to say that George “I Give Smug Oscar Speeches” Clooney is finer. In a battle of American hunks, Brad Pitt is hotter by an order of magnitude. If you won’t take my word for it, let me lay down some truth. To decide which is the better piece of meat, we need only look at four categories - women, films, charity and style.

Let us consider their choice of women. Brad has shacked up with Angelina Jolie, for whom certain sexual acronyms were invented. He may have had a good thing with Jennifer Aniston, but any lady who can also be dumped by John Mayer is not worth a mansicle’s time. Clooney, on the other hand, has moved from tramp to tramp, most recently spending time with a model-***-actress who was photographed on all fours at a party, licking a picture of herself in a magazine while clad in bikini. Classy pick, George.

Brad lives in France with his sex object, in one of the few countries where you can literally live in a castle, complete with an estate and a swarm of adopted children. While George’s Italian vacations are nothing to scoff at, Brad is living the royal life; all hail the king.

You could argue that George’s polygamy is cooler than Brad’s monogamy, but you know that Angelina invites sexy ‘guests’ over to their French villa all the time. She wore Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around her neck - not exactly the kind of thing a straight-laced wife decides is a good idea. Imagine the tremendous threesomes at the Pitt-Jolie household, and you’ll see why Brad is so often on my mind.

Since both men occasionally appear in films, we should probably mention that Brad does manlier work. Georgie has limited his acting choices to creampuff crime pieces (although I won’t begrudge him the chance to spend time with Jennifer Lopez in a trunk in Out of Sight), creampuff period pieces and the occasional foray into intellectually masturbatory science fiction - no, I haven’t forgotten about Solaris. Brad starred in the gritty Babel, the grittier Seven, and the grittiest film of them all, Thelma and Louise.

When it comes to humanitarianism, you can’t beat Pitt. Helping people isn’t always admirable - I wouldn’t lift one finger to save Miley Cyrus from a collision with any form of moving vehicle - but helping poorer nations is always chic. Brad’s clan represents a pastiche of poverty, from Cambodia to Namibia. He’s a one-man USAID, with none of the ponderous bureaucracy or ugly people. I’m sure that George sends the occasional check to Beautiful People Without Borders, but the occasional speech on Darfur won’t impress me until I see a Clooney household filled with war refugees.

I admit that both men know how to wear a suit, but a good-looking tux does not a hunk make. Jack Nicholson looks passable once his larded ass is poured into a penguin suit. If we dig just below the surface, it becomes clear that Brad is a man of the fashion times, while the Cloonester is just not with it. Take Brad’s trips to Africa: the paparazzi caught Brad in various states of safari chic, with rugged button-down shirts and a dash of linen to keep things classy and contemporary. Clooney tends to favor the suit, which may be fine if you’re living in the 1950s, but doesn’t really fit our more casual times. Plus, all of George’s buttons just get in the way of a passionate pre-lovemaking de-clothesing, which is never a problem with my boy Brad. I envy George’s five o’clock shadow more than most women, but debonair will always lose to rugged, animalistic sexiness.

To say that Brad is a little handsomer than George would be like saying that herpes is a little more serious than the common cold - while it may be true, you’re missing the point. In a world where Tobey Maguire gets to act like a girl and still be called a superhero, there’s something wonderful about a man who’s unafraid to marry a hot chick, live in a castle and make a trip to France look like a manly activity. Brad is sexy, smart (I think), and a cosmopolitan star for our globalized times.

While both men starred in the Ocean movies, Brad will always be the dreamier boat.

AG– OMG there goes my OJ all over my monitor! Shame on you, I thought we were long time friends at least give me a warning.. Lainey was right OMG!!! :lol: :lol:

Thanks AG, I owe you one :lol:

Mondo Bongo! @ 08/27/2008 at 12:05 pm

Hmmmmm!!… *Brad* over load….. Yummy!!

************************************************

Hi guli, I’m having a sugar rush, between trying to get things
done around here….. sigh! TTYL

Neleh, hey baby doll :wink:

coal , was sooo good to see your post.. ((big hug))

later!

Holy ****, Tilda Swinton is so damn tall. she is 5′ 10½” . She is a good actress but her taste in fashion is terrible. Brad is always stylish and he has a great body to wear any suit or casual clothes. He looks so damn hot as usual.

Heavens! I think BP has stepped into some major doodoo here. The poor guy still doesn’t understand that every word out of his mouth is monitored, disected, examined and frozen for future monitoring, disection and examination

Watch people get on his case about the Two More Kids by Next Year comment. It’s gonna be like the Not getting married until everyone is allowed to fiasco all over again. Two ways this is gonna go…

1) The Population of the world watchers like Beth, The People against couples having more than one children like Beth and the Having more than one child is a sign of Addiction like Beth will get their panties in a bunch.

2) The Fake Concerned Citizens will start their own show of concern with the whole Brad Pitt does not love Angelina Jolie, he just wanted a mommy for his children crapola. Oh Poor “Angie” she always picks the wrong men [Insert fake cry here]

Either way it goes, it’s not gonna be pretty…which is why it’s gonna be so funny! These idiots have no idea how hilarious they are when they get all worked up, boiling with anger, looking (I suspect) like ugly shrek-like monsters, about someone elses issues. LMAO!!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot the group, who if the JPs don’t have two more kids next year, will claim BP is liar which proves he cheated on Jennifer Aniston. Lol…okay, I didn’t really forget this group, I just don’t have a place for these kind of morons.

:) His hat is cute! What a nice guy he is :)

ROTFL. Where’s that story someone posted last night about how ridiculous the rumor of Brad running into X is? The venues for their events are 5 miles apart. Brad’s premiere is in the tony part of town and X’s begging session is on a college campus! Maybe she can find a new boyfriend amongst the incoming freshman.

I digress… The point is that the chances of X running into Brad are slim unless she makes an effort to do so. Which would be dumb on her part because then she looks like she’s still obsessed with Brad. She’d have to show up 2 days early for her own film debut, go out of her way to go to other premieres, which the person who wrote the story said is simply NOT DONE at TIFF - ie, celebs very seldom walk the RC at someone else’s premiere.

So yearh…let X “accidentally” run into Brad…and we’ll have definitive proof for the Fanistons that X is NOT over Brad and continues to use him to pimp her sad little career and PR schemes.

2 more kids? @ 08/27/2008 at 12:31 pm

Frankly, I think Brad Pitt was teasing us!
