Brad Pitt Fights For Gay Marriage
Brad Pitt has donated $100,000 to fight California’s Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in the state.
“Because no one has the right to deny another their life even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another, and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8,” the 44-year-old actor said in a statement.
Political strategist Chad Griffin, who is coordinating efforts in the entertainment industry to defeat the measure, added, “It is our hope that others in the entertainment industry will step up and match Brad Pitt’s heroic commitment to quality and defeating Prop. 8. This isn’t a special interest issue - this measure affects every business and every family. With California’s budget and the national economy in chaos, the last thing we need is an unnecessary measure that threatens health benefits and protections for children.”

So Steven Seagal tried to trash the place back in 2001? Whatever happened to his career?Where is he now?
++++++++++++++++
Let’s just say that - true story - that he was asked to do VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club and he turned them down…

Brad and Angelina never lived in Berlin for 3 months before. They were in germany for a couple of weeks when she was pregnant with Shiloh. Is this a legit german press or a tabloid?
+++++++++++++++++++
LOL. I should’ve checked to see if the translation was posted before I summarized in another post….
But…this is exactly what I said. They NEVER lived in Berlin for 3 months before.

And JMO… Meg Ryan took too long to speak out on her own behalf. I feel strange for saying that, given that Robert Wagner is finally talking about Natalie Wood’s death nearly 30 years after the fact.
+++++++++++++++++
Robert Wagner? That’s a case of someone trying to tell their side of it before they die and all the Kitty Kellys start coming out of the woodwork to write a book on how he killed Natalie….
Oh yeah…and Meg Ryan’s a twit. Everybody and their dog knows Dennis Quaid couldn’t keep it zipped. Why is she bringing it up now? I’m with MK over at Dlisted - Nobody cares about Dennis Quaid. Answer some questions about why you fcuked up your face! LOL!
++++++++++++++++++++++++
LMAO
No Chit!
She was a victim? Oooo She’ll be landing the big movie roles now!
NOT

NO WAY IN HELL AM I EATING ICE CREAM MADE OF BREAST MILK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are these douches out of their motherfcuking minds?!!
Not that I eat Ben & Jerry’s in the first place.
+++++++++++++++
ROTFLMAO. My sentiments exactly.
Look at it this way, Piper - they’ll start with Ben & Jerry’s because they’re a huge NATIONAL BRAND. Then they’ll move on to Edy, Breyers, Dreyers, Blue Bunny…and every other regional brand in the country. Sick fcukers.
BTW - Isn’t Pam Anderson a big PETA supporter? Anybody wonder if this was her idea? Her “career” is going down the drain faster than a hair clog dissovled with Liquid Plumber. Ho’s prolly looking for steady work any place she can get it…
oh well…madame anoble,if der using anjies milk…….hehehe! as brads had said”taste like heaven”.waving to you!cliniqua,P.T.,neleh,guli,grandma irma,nlal,real tita,vicky,dina,ate char.all the gorgeous jps fans on board!

It’s not the first time Meg Ryan has talked about Quaid’s cheating. She said it when he filed for divorce, too. The question is why she thinks anybody cares after all this time. NEITHER of them have a career worth talking about now.
Usually when people start talking about shite they did 20 years ago they’re paving the way for some piece of dreck they’re about to foist on the unsuspecting public. I just pray to God that she and Tom Hanks haven’t cooked up a senior citizen rom-com - “Toothless In Seattle” or “You’ve Got Depends”….

Okay let me try:
“You’ve got V*agra”?
“Incontinent in Seattle”?
“Senile in Seattle”?
“Joe vs. the staircase”?
Hello PT and fellow jp fans,
I was on my way to bed and I couldn’t go without sending you a shoutout and saying you owe me a keyboard….
You’ve Got Depends”…. Ryan and Hanks coming to a theater near you.
Now that’s a classic. Thanks for the laugh…back to lurking. Later.
New Thread of Brad in yellow costume
~~NEW THREAD~~
RE: Golly…would that have something to do with the fact that Russell, dog that he is, was engaged to Danielle Spencer at the time he had the affair with Meg? Of course, it’s not like it was the first time that he’d cheated on her, but he’d never been quote so PUBLIC about it before. And fool that she is she took him back time and time again…and then stupidly married him. I really don’t understand the mindset of some women…

Far be it from me to stick up for Crowe - he certainly doesn’t deserve it - but Crowe wasn’t seeing Spencer during this time. They had broken up ages before that and Crowe had lived for a few years with some American artist he met while filming LA Confidential. It was soon after Ryan broke it off and while he was on the rebound from Ryan that Spencer supposedly went to his New Years Eve celebration at his ranch to console him and, as they say, stayed on. Soon after that Crowe bought a luxury condo in a trendy area that she lived in until they were married.
A close friend of mine was friends with Ryan during high school in Connecticut and she stayed in touch with Meg over the years as well as Meg’s siblings. Meg has real issues with her mom, though her other children don’t and have a good relationship with her. But I would bug her about getting inside info about Crowe and she never wanted to ask. After the break up though - even before it was over - my friend said it wasn’t serious for Meg. When it ended she told me that Meg is the one who dumped him. And she always said Dennis cheated on her and when they visited my friend in our city Meg was the same as she was in HS and Dennis didn’t treat her very well.
That’s as much as I can remember.
good for brad

BRAD, you are AMAZING. I agree with you and your family is BEAUTIFUL.
GOD BLESS YOU.
I am in a same-sex marriage in Canada. It saddens me that Americans don’t have the same right. I am married to an American but I cannot work in the U.S. Anyone in a heterosexual marriage has this right. America has a long way to go. So does Canada in many respects, but at least we have this basic fundamental right to be with whom we want and to be recognized by our legal instituions as such. My partner, a former employee of the U.S. Navy, has the right to work in Canada and is a legal resident. As an actor, I still have to remain closeted in order to book work on straight films. I don’t run around in pink underwear. I don’t speak with a lisp or have a high voice. People don’t know I’m gay unless I tell them or introduce them to my partner. I don’t want to be seen as someone special because I’m gay. I just want to be recognized as a decent human being with talent. I wonder if the world will ever get to this level of acceptance - it should be a non-issue. Thank heavens there are advocates for basic rights in America. One would have thought your consitution would support this, but clearly it does not. All americans should be fighting for all humans to have the same rights in your country, as stated in amendment 14 of your constitution. Brad Pitt, John Doe, or Jane Doe should not have to donate any money to this cause. This shouldn’t even be a cause. Think about it. If Mr. Pitt didn’t have to donate money to this, he could have built another house or two in New Orleans to help people- gay, black, white, latino, christian, muslim, or whoever, live in a fair and just world. Clearly the world is not fair. The U.S. ‘democratic’ system is ambivolent to the rights of certain sects of the population. This is hipocracy at its best. If basic rights are finally realized in America, perhaps economic and environmental issues would take precendence and we could really make a global impact to the plight of humanity. Food for thought…
he’s right yenno.
who are you to deny someone their right to live.
psh society.
Unfortunately, Mr pitt is very wrong about the idea that legalizing gay marriage will not hurt anyone. It will hurt the family’s that are raising their children in the the way they choose, because if this passes, the education system will have complete free reign to teach children as young as 5 years of age, that gay marriage is fine. The schools will teach this without parental consent, taking away a parents right to raise their children as they wish, if for religious or personal belief, but it doesn’t matter why their against it, its their constitutional right, gay marriage isn’t. The government will be taking away a parents right to choose what their children learns. So don’t say no one will get hurt, parents will get hurt, and so will the young children who will be subjected to this argument between their parents and teachers, when they are too young to decide for themselves.
Everyone needs to shut up about who is being killed in Iraq and crap! Have we come so far just to worry about other people instead of ourselves? Yes, the money should be split into found to help people who are dying. BUT ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES! Gay marriage is important. There should be no question about it! Go brad!
