the most original film in a long time and brad pitt owns this one

# 9

I can’t wait to see this movie! It looks great. I hope it gets good early buzz and reviews.

Looks freaking amazing…I will sure go see it a few times…Must support Brad Pitt.

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/26/2008 at 9:58 pm

the second, third, ‘first look’. lol

flop.

Infamous, why you always jealous of Brad Pitt? This movie looks fantasic Brad is going to be nominated for this movie .You will eat your words for the gazallion time.

Don’t pay attention to infugmus. It will eat its words like it always does, and come back to repeat the same nonsense its been repeating on every thread.

NAY! i can’t see a Brad Pitt film without seeing Brad Pitt as the character. He’s so overexposed It’s no longer the character he’s playing. It’s the same way I feel about Jennifer Garner’s acting. Brad Pitt = Jennifer garner.

Brad Pitt pimps shiloh out.. AGAIN!

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

Keep calling them, dumbass. You said the same thing about BAR, remember?

Speaking of flops… when is Valkyrie coming out? Or is that going to be an STV?

We have to support Brad…I am visiting the forums, and everyone is saying how the movie is going to bomb because it was a big budget film, and being all negative. I hope he gets nominated, and David Fincher should get nominated too.

i think it is time for fans to ignore Trip or ?? poster. she wants attention obviously.

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/26/2008 at 10:26 pm

hey, crackhead-jill.

1) bb will flop.

2) what’s valkyrie. and why do you talk about it so much?!? lmbao

And here you are, not a fan, but following the fans to a new thread. Brad Pitt OWNS YOU. LOL.

the truth is this @ 09/26/2008 at 10:40 pm

#14, Brad is a magnet and you can’t stay away.

BRAD OWNS YOU LOSER!!!!

Thanks JJ, appreciate the new thread! Go Brad!

the truth is this @ 09/26/2008 at 10:45 pm

Helen @ 09/26/2008 at 10:22 pm

Same thing on the forums before BAR, and look at how BAR exceeded all expectations.

Paramount is selling it well. People like magical uplifting positive movies at Christmas, and BB is that type of film.

Be optimistic.

Brad and BB will prevail.

BB will have good legs and do fantastic business overseas!!!

I can’t wait to see this movie!
Why do so many hatters come here now? Cause this movie looks more amazing and Tom’ s new one will be open on the same day.

YAY
I will go see it.

Obviously it will be flop , can’t understand why even bother , telling something else!

The movie has 150000$ budget , do you think , seriously it will earn that much with actor like Brad Pitt? Last film he had played in it as a lead was another flop. So why not this one ? :roll:

start wishing he will get nominated for something at least , like the king of flops award , is there any award thing with this name? Tom cruise will be nominated as well. :lol:

This year is Will and Dicapreo’s year and they guy who has played Che(what is his name?) , don’t make fun of yourself like last year.

alexanderina @ 09/26/2008 at 10:51 pm

Thanks Jared, I can’t wait to see this movie

What you trippin on Trip/Drip??

Got nowhere else to go and no one in your life, right?

So obvious, all alone Trip/Drip.

Day and Night dreaming about William Bradley Pitt, 100% of the time.

Too bad, So sad, Trip/Drip.

William Bradley, father of Maddox, Pax, Ms. Z, Ms. Shi, Knox, and Ms. Viv, he’s all Angie’s man, every inch of him.

Helen. you are telling there are places which talk about how a movie will do with not even seeing it? it’s funny.i have to wait and see this on dvd. i hate to wait that long,maybe i will get a chance to see this online.

embo and leo.waving,how are you?

To hahahaha @ 09/26/2008 at 10:56 pm

Oh, hahahaha.

Don’t you know that he who laughs last, laughs loudest!!!

That’s just the way the universe works.

hahahaha @ 09/26/2008 at 10:49 pm

i can proudly tell my english is better than yours,this doesn’t happen here everyday.

fans.do you know why my name is blue and you are not?

The thing as always is this haters are intimidated by Brad Pitt. They all know he has it all. The girl, the world wide apeal, the good look, the talent, the likeablity everthing. His a threat for them. Haters go away. You know in your heart that Fincher+Brad+ Kate= success.

The movie has 150 million budget. So it’s not coming from your pocket. Stop whining. The studios that did felt it was a good enough story to green light the project and hire Brad and Cate.

All you need to worry about is if it is a entertaining movie. If it is worth your 10 bucks.

Trailer looks great.

2) what’s valkyrie.
********************************************************

Don’t try to act stupider than you already are. Valkyrie is the Midget’s movie you’ve been flogging on here for the last three months. You know, the multi-million-dollar bomb that will probably end up going straight to video.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Trolls rush to every new Brad Pitt or Angelina thread, frothing at their rabid mouths, fingers twitching, desperate to type something more inane than their last posts.

You know know your going to have:

Infam-ASS - spouting some Bullsh*t

Trip the Drip - having a “IhateBradandnoonecanstopme” Tantrum

Pusy Cat Doll =bet=ja - with psychotic hallucinations

The dedication! The perseverance! The pertinacity!

I hope, if Brad is not going to attend Angie’s premiere in October because of his works and kids,and we are not going to see them on the red carpet once again,at least for this movie,they will do the red carpet together. twins will be alittle older and they can leave them for 2 or 3 hours a day at that time. i know too soon to talk about it, just wanted to share.

i have to leave,i hate saturaday as much as friday,day after weekend is the hardest. i have lots of class today. have fun fans,you are in your weekend,how lucky you are.

Taraji Penda Henson who plays queenie looks like she should already be given a nomination she looks sensational, cate blanchett and tilda swintin are obviously superb actresses!!! aaah cant wait…lol

Thanks Jared.

The new trailer looks fantastic.

Once again I see the haters tripped over their big heads getting here to post nasty comments. These b#tches need a new hobby. They need to take up grooming of their body hair. That ought to keep them busy for the foreseeable future.

++++++++++++++++++++

“150000$,” huh? Hell, they’ll make that money back on the very first matinee showing in NYC theaters.

Honestly…how dumb can these trolls be? “150000$”? WTF does that mean? Is that supposed to be $150,000? If the trolls weren’t annoying enough before now we’ve got dyslexic trolls. Obviously this troll has been working for Dubya. Three weeks ago the economy was fine. Three days ago he declares we’re onthe brink of total economic collapse. Dyslexic trolls in the White house…this why the country is so fcuked up….

Trailer looks fantastic. Great director, excellent actors, Brad, Cate & David Fincher. Most anticipating movie of the year.

I am not a ******* troll and by now, I sincerely hope that no one doubts my good intentions, I have never said anything bad about the Jolie Pitt family, because I am a FAN of both…I am concerned because I frequent a film forum, and right now, since OSCAR season started, many critics are already buzzing in about what to expect awards season. Brad will have my support because the movie looks stunning from what I can tell from the trailer.

The trailer look amazing ! bettter than other Oscar potential trailer. Revolutionary was so-so. Australia mediocre and so was Valkyrie.

TCCBB was the best !

When does W magazine with Angelina on the cover come out?

WOW - I just watched the trailer and it is amazing. Someone said it gave them goosebumps - to me too. I think the music is absolutely stunning and wow… i’m in awe.

This trailer is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to see it. I will watch it on Christmas day. Brad’s performance is awesome.

dianad1968 @ 09/27/2008 at 12:54 am

The trailer looks amazing, and i can see why they wanted a Christmas release. IT has a kind of outer-world, nostalgia feeling about it., and the cinematography is unbelievable.

It will be so funny if both Angie and Brad are nominated for awards. The trolls will die. LOL. What a delicious thought.

I have never seen any movie trailer like this. just WOW. Fantastic.

indonesian jp fan @ 09/27/2008 at 12:58 am

Here’s the thing, I read from local Indonesian newspaper, Jakarta (the capital city) is to host the 52th Asia Pacific Film Festival (APFF) on Nov 18-21 2008. Angie & Brad are among other celebrities (like Rowan Atkinson, & Jacky Chan) that will attend the festival. I’m not sure it is confirmed yet, but just imaging that they were visited Indonesia makes me ‘fly’. Personally, I think they could’nt make it though , considering the twin, Brad’s shooting schedule, and the long trip to come to Jakarta. Well, who knows?

There’s no stopping Brad now. He is cranking stunning performance after stunning performance. No matter what type of movie it is, he delivers every single time.

So much to look forward to — after BB, there’s Tree of Life and than IB - just wow.

I saw the new preview today in theatres. The movie looks so amazing. Just beautiful. Hopefully Brad will get an oscar for this one.

OMG, this movie looks amazing, so beautiful.

nay, this film will bomb at the box office and what a stupid man uses his child for making money, god

The premiere for button is dec 8, in LA i think i read, if the family hasn’t moved back to the states by then i doubt you will see angie on the RC for this premiere,brad would take a few days off from filming to attend the premiere i guess.

dianad1968 @ 09/27/2008 at 1:10 am

OT,

There is a photo of Nicole Kidman with her daughter, and you are able to see Sunday’s face. She seems like a cute baby. What I find funny is that Nicole is now showing her baby for all to see. I imagine all the teasing she was doing with not showing the baby didn’t garner any added interest from the public at large, so she is now reduced to doing this.

I still maintain that the celebs who were so vocal about not “selling” their baby pictures were being hypocrites, and were more than a little miffed that there wasn’t more than just a passing interest in seeing their babies.

catherine @ 09/27/2008 at 1:13 am

I love this trailer. It looks stunning. It will be BO hit and will get many awards. I can’t wait for the movie. Can’t wait for the award season. Brad Pitt rocks.

I played the trailer over and over. I am addicted to it already. Can’t wait to see it.

Schlumberger @ 09/27/2008 at 1:33 am

I will support any movies done by Brad or angie

Sorry, JP fans.

It is not a new news. It is from 25th of September. I wanted to post it yesterday, but I had no time. I had to go the gym.

Pitt visited a doctor in Berlin. It doesn’t really tell what he had, but according to the news, he also had x-ray picture with him.

http://www.nachrichten.ch/detail/320558.htm

Translation

Brad Pitt: Doctor’s visit in Berlin

Berlin - Having come barely in Berlin, Brad Pitt has also already brought his first doctor’s visit behind himself. The Hollywood star was examined in a doctor’s house in the part of town Charlottenburg by an Orthopaedist.

smw / Quelle: Quelle: http://www.firstnews.de / Thursday, 25. September 2008 / 21:44 h

For it he had brought specially an envelope with X-ray pictures. The doctor’s visit does not seem to have been insignificant. Pitt even interrupted for it even a meeting with Quentin Tarantino. Brad Pitt, his lifelong companion Angelina Jolie and her six children stay nowadays in Berlin. During a total of 90 days the Hollywood pair plans to remain. In three weeks Pitt will take up the shooting to Quentin Tarantino’s world war-film « Inglorious of crossbreed » in Babelsberg.

PS. Yes, Bild Zeitung is a tabloid. I normally passed it by. But they are very fast with news about Stars, especially if they make scandal. SO, since Till Schweiger is a star in Germany, there are news everywhere about him. Plus, he was with Brad Pitt, so it was like a party for Bild Zeitung. Trust me when I said that Brad Pitt was not drunk. What do you think Bild would make out of it?

The very fresh news is about Tarantino looks for extra (what I heard, thousands of them), and they have to look like real “German”. So, blond hair, blue eyes….. I think Tarantion drank too much that night if that’s what he thinks about “being a real German”.

This is the links. This time it is from a serious newspaper. There is a very nice pic from Pitt.

http://www.salzburg.com/nwas/index.php?article=DText/ko45245rjnis*6isesje8ej&img=&text=&mode=&section=&channel=ticker&sort=

I also heard that Pitt will be at Potsdamer Platz, where every big star promote their films. I think it is about Burn After Reading. I will post it if it is true.

P.S.S I can only post the news via links, because I don’t want to scan the contain of newspaper/mag. First, it is against copy rights, and second, to be honest people, I don’t want to fill my compi with news about Pitt and his family. Mine is already full with news about Jude Law.

And I will try to get news from more reliable sources. But if I can only find it from Bild, once again, sorry. And please tell me when you want me to stop sending the news. You can always be honest with me. No hard feelings. Especially not about stars.

I post the same article to the older Brad Pitt thread too.

Sorry about the “weird translation” of the film’s title. Just Jared censored the “B….” word.

CRAP…

Guys I just read on award daily forums that Paul Newman just passed away…

****! soo sad.

RIP

I just checked. The third links doesn’t work, the one from salzburg.com. If you want to look for the article, at the right corner there is a box call Artikelsuche, Sitesuche . There you can type Brad Pitt. Then click the red box with word SUCHEN (SEARCH). It is the first article from six articles. (Die Grosse Chance, Statist neben Brad Pitt = The big chance, extra beside Brad Pitt).

Trip @ 09/26/2008 at 10:15 pm NAY! i can’t see a Brad Pitt film without seeing Brad Pitt as the character. He’s so overexposed It’s no longer the character he’s playing. It’s the same way I feel about Jennifer Garner’s acting. Brad Pitt = Jennifer garner.

Brad Pitt pimps shiloh out.. AGAIN!

You know you’re a dipshit you’re not a brad fans but you’re always the first on his thread.

Oh no, Helen! Is it true..?

Brad & Cate = winnig match!

I have checked every news and no one has announced his death, but a forumer at awards daily forum posted that he had died, and someone mentioned that 7 weeks ago it was reported that he only had a few weeks left and had to cancel a charity event due to declining health…the poster didn’t say were he got his news from…

still, sad…I hope that it is not true because I don’t see it on the news but …

Every JP thread you post the same spam.
Every time I see it I wonder:

Can this Cretin not research it him/herself?

(Okay, sometimes I wonder if this is Tom Cruise who did not get as much for Suri pictures as the JPs did for Shiloh.)

1. Tax records of charities are a matter of public record
wait until next year and research the JP foundation records.

2. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitts tax records are a matter of public
record. They were reported for last year. they will probablly be
reported for this year, next spring. If not, look them up yourself.

3. This is, in my opinion, the most important point: NONE OF YOUR
BUSINESS!

They would have gotten that much oney whether they
donated it to charity or not. I would have bought the magazines
whether it was donated to charity or not.

No other star has donated that much to charity, for pictures or a
story. Hell, clay Aiken got a half a million from people for telling
the world he was gay! (Was that even really a secret?)
Lynn Spears got a million for giving OK mag the “Jaimie Lynn
is knocked up” story - (that wouldn’t have been a secret).
J-Lo got 6 million for her baby pictures,
Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilar, Nicole Richie, etc etc etc
they have not given a dime to charity.

Sooooooo…………….

Why don’t you HOP YOUR HAPPY A$$ over to their threads and ask them where the money is??????

Fingerhut @ 09/27/2008 at 2:22 am

I guess you need to go to the other celebrities threads that sold their baby pics and ask the same thing…. but I’m sure you’re just a bitter X fan who only likes to criticize the J-P.

hassosehr @ 09/27/2008 at 3:13 am

well If we compare $2 millions with 3 handbags, I wonder which one’s worth more? (btw if you need a little help, yes I’m talking about your idol)

Wait, I’m confused. How is this the first look at the Benjamin Button trailer when there was a horrendously long theatrical trailer for it way back when I saw The Dark Knight 2 months ago? Or did we only get the trailer for it in California or something?

Are you talking of Will Smith and Tom Crusie ? Will Smith son was his co star in Pursuit of Happiness, the boy was in Oscar presenting an award and was with Smith all over the world promoting their movie. Smith younger daughter was also in one of Jada Smith film. Tom Cruise son , Connor will be seen on Will Smith next film Seven Pound. but didn’t heard anyone complaining Will and Tom were making money from their kid.

Shlloh was at TCCBB in a non speaking part for just a few millie seconds, and you are making a big deal on it. You are just another jealous , bitter fans of the child hater, barren womb ex wife of Brad.

Brad “BOTOX” Pitt is in love with himself and he uses his children for promotional films.
Angelina and Maddox lived better without him!

Somebody needs to tell Brad that this hat doesn´t suit him at all.

brad is an old botox-narcissist, who needs kids only for media attention like his mindless angelina.

WOW! Fincher rulez! And Pitt too!

SOBBING………..if this is true another legend is gone…………..SOBBING……..rest in peace great one……..SOBBING………you will not be forgotten

Does Brad Pitt choose his career over his family?
I thought Brad wanted a family now he has it, he works more than when he hadn’t has one.
HEY, BRAD LOVES YOUR FAMILY THAN YOUR CAREER.

i sorry let me be clear there is a rumor about paul newman if true(SOBBING) my heart is heavy right now

brad pitt is a wonderful man ….i don’t know his private life but his public self is very admirable this new film looks magical and brad makes me think of fine actors like PAUL NEWMAN people who see what is wrong with some things and wants to make some things right

this is the last time i am going to post anything about the haters. reading your posts would for the longest time make me angery but now i can’t help but laugh at how stupid you all sound when you say things like angie and brad are media whores and pimping out their kids for simply walking down the street or if you don’t see them for ages the are a recluse and hate their kids because you don’t see them every day.

please get a life and only look up people you actually like, time is to important.

there is a large number of celebs i can’t stand but you will never see me looking them up on the internet or posting about them on sites like this.

He is so HOT.His last filming was 5 months ago.Good to see him starting another movie.Cant wait to see all of them.

Oh my God! Paul Newman passed! He was one of my favorite actors. Guess he did have cancer that was originally reported. God bless his family! Him and his wife was such an amazing couple.

Rein, thinks for the information from Germany. Keep it coming.

Good Morning JPville

Thanks for the new thread, Jared.

I think this movie will be awesome and I’ve added it to my must-see list.

OT - have seen several references on this thread to Paul Newman’s death but have search news agencies and I can’t find any verification. Do the posters reporting this item have links or something to verify this story?

Only 1 site has that Mr Newman died. I’ll wait for something official.

lol, this troll is funny this morning, instead of bashing ,its praising brad to the point of nausem, oh lets put in that he is constantly filming movies,lol.

good work damon jolie pitt @ 09/27/2008 at 8:56 am

About 20 organizations came together in pledging a combined $100 million toward improving education, health care, nutrition and business opportunities inHaiti, a Caribbean nation devastated this summer by a succession of four hurricanes. Clinton, who took a personal interest in Haiti when he and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), honeymooned there, likened the country to the South Asian region laid to waste by the 2004 tsunami and said he would seek additional funds in coming weeks.

“The losses were so great in Haiti, but the talent and yearning for a better future is also great,” Clinton said. “Our goal should be to build them back better than we did before the storm hit.”

ean, a Haitian native, said his foundation would provide thousands of meals for hungry families, microenterprise grants for businesses and seeds, fertilizer and training for farmers (Matt) Damon’s ONEXONE foundation said it would raise at least $3 million for local nongovernmental organizations inHaiti.

Actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did not attend the initiative but called Clinton on Friday morning and said they would help rebuild 12 schools in Haiti, as they have been doing in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina three years ago.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/26/AR2008092603327.html

great work for angie and brad, they work as a team, the changeling premiere is 1 week from today.Thanks for the washington post article.

Actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did not attend the initiative but called Clinton on Friday morning and said they would help rebuild 12 schools in Haiti, as they have been doing in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina three years ago.

“All this materialized in one month, and it shows you what we can all do if we work together,” Clinton said. “This is the beginning.”

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who made a surprise appearance at Clinton’s conference, said the teetering global economy presents an opportunity to build a “truly global society.”

“We have a world that is unsustainable; we have a world that is unsafe; and we have for many people a world that is unfair,” Brown said. “The causes of the world require us to act together.”

I don’t see it in any American media outlet but I have seen it in some spanish speaking newspaper and Italian newspaper that Paul Newman is dead…I am soo sad.

jolie pitt continue to be exampes of fine and humble people who do great and wonderful things……………..peace on earth

Haiti needs a lot of help at the moment and it good to see Brad and Angelina helping again in Haiti.

The trailer looks good, anything with Brad or Angelina have my full attention. I can’t wait for Angelinas movie to come out either.

Angie and brad remain loyal to their true friends like wyclef,and matt damon is also in that group of hummantarians-angie ,brad and matt are true inspirations.

{oh!!} @ 09/27/2008 at 7:27 am


In the first nine months of this year, Angelina has done 0 film work and probably 3 weeks in total on premieres, interviews and UN/Charity work. In the same nine months, Brad has worked probably 2 months in total on film work and probably 1 month in total on premieres , interviews and MIR/Charity work. As actors from CCOBB have said one child was often hanging with Pitt during the day of filming. We can assume the same happened during the filming of TOL.. Just because Brad and Angelina are in the news often does not mean they are always working

foxy brown @ 09/27/2008 at 9:49 am

yah!!! I can’t wait to see this movie.

I hope he did not suffer too much.
I hope he was surrounded by his dear family.

LOve BAMPZSKV @ 09/27/2008 at 11:32 am

So sorry to hear about P.Newman. He was a wonderful actor and a great humanitarian. He will be missed dearly.
My condolences go out to his wife Joanne Woodward and Family.

Brads movie BB looks absolutely phenomenal . Hopefully a BO hit that wins him a much deserved oscar altho i dont put much belief
into the oscars being fair one can alway hope.

i will always support anything Brad or Angie are involved in movieland. They are both excellent Alist actors and have proven as much in the past.
I love being a JP Fan so wish the JP Family nothing but the best in the yr ahead.
Looks like an Oscar yr for both Angie and Brad. Angies Changeling movie and Brads BB movie may have them both rocking oscars the same yr. That would be so exciting.

Enjoy your weekend JP Fans..

It looks different, will go see this one

Actor KIRK CAMERON can appreciate what BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE go through daily as parents - he has 10 kids.
The former Growing Pains star has six natural kids and four adopted - and he understands the Pitt-Jolies when they confess they can’t see a difference between the three kids born to them and their three adopted siblings.
Cameron says, “You forget who’s adopted and who is not. The kids are 11, 10, nine, eight, seven and five-and-a-half. We feel like the Brady Bunch. There’s never a dull moment.

when paul newman was a young actor brando and james dean was the measure of great actors and heartrobs sexy male personaities paul lasted the test of time and became a kind and giving soul now we have brad and angie i am proud to be a huge fan of paul newman and the jolie-pitts………………….give peace a chance

My prayers and thoughts go out to Paul Newman’s family, especially Joanna Woodward. These two had been together for so many years. He was a great actor, and even greater humanitarian. He was also someone whose superb acting performances were overlooked because he was so handsome and finally won an Oscar quite late in his career. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s beautiful love story together always remind me of Brad and Angie’s.

To I love shiloh @ 09/27/2008 at 12:21 pm

You are scaring me. You are forever fantasizing about a baby girl. I hope that you are not a pedophile. You go on and on about her her as if you cannot wait to be with or something. All of the kids are beautiful. but ,man you are creepie with your I love Shiloh,her beautiful blue eyes etc. listen up! we know what she look like. i hope that you are not a pervert or a freak. I have a problem with how you obssesed you appear to be. Damn. Do we need to involve the Police.?

YAY!!!! I WILL SUPPORT THEIR GOOD HEARTS TOWARDS THEIR GOOD WORK BY GOING TO WATCH THEIR MOVIES. I’VE BEEN SUPPORTING THEM SINCE THEY ARE STARTED TO DO GOOD THINGS TO OTHER PEOPLE. HOPE WE WILL GET MORE HOLLYWOOD STAR LIKE THEM, WHO KNOW HOW TO SHARE THEIR BLESSINGS TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEEDS HELP. BRAVO TO JOLIE AND PITTS FAMILY, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Foundations really shouldn’t spend all their capitol right away. I would imagine by now the J-P Foundation has about $10-15 million on hand. Thy haven’t made any huge grants which I think is wise. Also, their foundation is not the sum total of their charitable work and I must disagree with the poster who said AJ & BP’s individual tax returns are public. That is not true. Even their foundation’s tax filing does not have to be released. The 2007-2008 fiscal year filing has not been released.

RIP Paul Newman.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

shaking my head… Clearly, someone at contactmusic can’t count. Kirk Cameron has six kids - four adopted and two biological. Given that Kirk has been promoting his film all over the place and talking about his family, this ‘ten kids’ thing is completely inexcusable. And given that they rattled off the ages of six children should’ve been an additional clue.

Hola! Bonjour! Hi haterz!…the champ is here…

…now, do pray tell, how someone could read humor in a comment and in the same breath go on to chatise me for what you think I don’t know…hahahaha

…just had to show the “clue” you think you have is better than the one you think I don’t…hahahahahaha…thanks…

Brad and Angie love story reminds me of the love story between Newman and Joanne Woodward too, because I have read that they married in Vegas in 1958 and NO ONE thought they were going to make it..soo cute, they produced three daughters and remain together until death separated them… Also because of the humanitarian efforts…

This video is to honor Paul and Joanne’s love

Paul Newman quotes
http://www.evancarmichael.com/Famous-Entrepreneurs/980/Paul-Newman-Quotes.html

Great actions speak great minds. -
John Fletcher, The Prophetess Act ii, sc. 3

“You can’t do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth. ”
~ Shira Tehrani
Jared Good day *no Mod please.

For some reason, my comments about CNN’s Frederika Whitfield interviewing one on one, the InTouch scum Tom O’Neill in a segment about Paul Newman is not showing up.

You can guess what I said. In short, that it was a travesty, and a slur against the man to have that tabloid cretin commenting in any way. That’s all you can do - guess at the rest, as my post (though taken and not rejected or moderated) has not shown up yet - who knows if and when it will.

I included multiple contacts for CNN in case people here wanted to complain, including just one link to their contact/complaint page. I know I will be.

Done here. This site gets sadder by the f**king day, between the trolls, and the ridiculous hanging up of posts for no f**king reason.

Hmmm…I wonder sometimes if JJ let’s a certain someone ‘GUEST’ moderate.

Happy Saturday to all the JP fans.

To ebmo - continuing a discussion from the last post:

ITA Angelina has her own stardust. She is physically beautiful, has an animal grace in movement and also has an inner glow, honesty, fearlessness and fierce desire to grow and understand the world. Those traits serve her well in her acting and other interests.

There are many beautiful actresses out there - always will be. But I love how gutsy she is and unafraid to make mistakes and live her life on her own terms.

Brad and Angelina had different types of stardust, his being more of the heart-throb, movie star brand. His type of stardust always attracted the constant glare, the image.From comments of his that I have read I believe he wanted to get out of that mold, personally and professionally.

Look at them now! A Perfect Storm of talent, generosity, beauty, sexiness, nurturing and fertility!

Fascinating to watch for some, and a source of angst and jealousy for others.

RIP Paul Newman. You had an incredible life. May many others follow your example.

Paul Newman: 30 Unforgettable Roles
From 1956 through 2006, the versatile actor performed in some 60 movies. Here’s a look back at the gems from a half-century career in film
By Mark Harris | Sep 27, 2008

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117993014.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

Coen brothers comedy “Burn After Reading” distributed by Focus Features took fifth with $1.6 million from 2,649 taking its cume in the midst of its third frame to $41 million. Pic is on the verge of eclipsing “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” ($45.5 million) as the Coen Brothers’ second highest grossing film stateside behind “No Country for Old Men.”

I hope that Angie and Brad remain together forever like Joanne and Paul did.

The New CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTONS Trailer Looks Like A Trailer For A Masterwork From David Fincher!

Hey folks, Harry here - I know a few people that have seen Fincher’s latest film, the crazy digital effects that you see affecting Brad Pitt’s character are a very time consuming process, but that the film as it is right now… is just the most brilliant thing Fincher has ever done.

I CAN NOT WAIT! Eric Roth seems to be operating in comfortable materials, but from a much better source than Gump came from, but a magical story that is equally amazing and everywhere. This will be THE movie to watch for Awards this year!

Good Afternoon all. RIP Paul Newman. He was a great actor and inspired many with his Humanitarian work. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Best wishes to all and have a great Saturday. I am looking forward to seeing Changeling and the Benjamin Button Movie. Thanks for all the updates Just Jared. Peace to all.

crazy in love @ 09/27/2008 at 1:29 pm

MMM I really wish Brad will win the oscar with Benjamin Button movie because He deserves and he gets old. I used to think he was hot but i must admit he gets bored and ugly. wHAT A PITTY!!

crazy in love @ 09/27/2008 at 1:29 pm
It happens to the best of us, to get old and hopefully live a long, fruitful life. God’s willing. There are more important things in life than looks such as a family, helping others and doing work that you enjoy. BP is a man in his prime and not an “IT” ZacChase boy. I am sure he is happy where his life is at this moment. Looks fade, good works live on. Peace to ya.

Plus he is mighty fine and gets better with fine wine. Go admire the ZacChace gossip boys and leave the men to women who appreciate them.

Hello to all Jolie-Pitt fans from Europe!
I am very sad to read that Paul Newman died! He was amazing actor and humanitarian! Love story from Paul and his wife Joanne reminds me of the love story between Brad and Angelina! (I agree with HELEN, previous post)
Paul and Joanne met in 1953, they were friends first, and than in 1957 they worked together in the movie “The Long Hot Summer”. They knew that they were meant to be together and his first marriage to Jackie ended and shortly after Paul’s divorce in January 1953, Joanne and Paul were married (yes in January 1953)!
They were married in Las Vegas and it was real HW marriage, two big stars, she was already Academy award winner, they both were very famous and yes - everybody thought, especially tabloids that this marriage will not last forever! Rumors about break up were all the time around them, it was something normal, every week there was a story about divorce! Paul and Joanne (I think in 1969) published an add in newspaper saying that they were not getting divorced because of all the rumors about them! They have 3 children, and he has from previous marriage 2 children ( his son died from drug overdose)!
RIP Paul Newman!

Thanks for posting. This is good news. Haiti has suffered a devastating blow during this Hurricane Season. It is good to read how organizations are pledging to help. BP and AJ have help to rebuild schools in New Orleans as well as the MIR foundation. It is good to read that they will be doing similar work in Haiti

good work damon jolie pitt @ 09/27/2008 at 8:56 am

About 20 organizations came together in pledging a combined $100 million toward improving education, health care, nutrition and business opportunities inHaiti, a Caribbean nation devastated this summer by a succession of four hurricanes. Clinton, who took a personal interest in Haiti when he and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), honeymooned there, likened the country to the South Asian region laid to waste by the 2004 tsunami and said he would seek additional funds in coming weeks.

“The losses were so great in Haiti, but the talent and yearning for a better future is also great,” Clinton said. “Our goal should be to build them back better than we did before the storm hit.”

ean, a Haitian native, said his foundation would provide thousands of meals for hungry families, microenterprise grants for businesses and seeds, fertilizer and training for farmers (Matt) Damon’s ONEXONE foundation said it would raise at least $3 million for local nongovernmental organizations inHaiti.

Actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did not attend the initiative but called Clinton on Friday morning and said they would help rebuild 12 schools in Haiti, as they have been doing in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina three years ago.

You may want to re check your dates here - how could they meet in 1953 and remain friends until they work together in 1957 - then he divorce in January 1953 and they marrin 1953

It’s so funny Brad & Angie almost mirror what Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward had — I think that’s because, when you see people who RIGHT OFF THE BAT, KNOW that they are MEANT to be together, and do whatever it takes, take whatever hits they need to take (and BOTH Paul did, divorcing a wife with two kids in the late 50’s) and essentially say, ‘Who cares what you think?’ to the WORLD - and meet every challenge head on and every naysayer flip the bird too - and live your life and enjoy your family…you know, KNOW - that these are people who will always have their priorities straight, and who live for each other and their family, not for anything else.

Brad and Angie love story reminds me of the love story between Newman and Joanne Woodward too, because I have read that they married in Vegas in 1958 and NO ONE thought they were going to make it..soo cute, they produced three daughters and remain together until death separated them… Also because of the humanitarian efforts…

This video is to honor Paul and Joanne’s love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RevqQITTpr8&feature=related
=============
I agree. The video is beautiful

Sorry for mistake NOT 1953, BUT 1958. Again, I have problem with JJ today, it is very slow. Do you have the same problem?
Well greetings from Europe! I was this summer in Berlin, beautiful city, Brad and Angie will have a great time there! Berlin and the rest of Germany are beautiful!

Thanks Jared for the recent JP threads. Trying to catch up.
Love the photo of Angie in the Changeling poster. Absolutely stunning.
The trailer for TCCOBB looks amazing.
Thanks to bdj and all the JP fans who have contributed to the recent photos, articles, links, & videos.
PT - You sure were on a roll. Your zingers were hysterical.
Thanks Neleh for the shoutout. Hope all is well with you.
Vicki - Sorry to see you had the flu, but glad you’re feeling better. A good multi-vitamin and Zicam have helped me tremendously through the cold seasons.
Anoble - Big hug and wave!! Did T-boy’s team demolish yet another opponent? Isn’t it ironic that Paul passed away shortly after I sent you that email? I definitely would have reacted the same way as that woman if I crossed paths with him. Always mesmerized by his gorgeous blue eyes. Can’t believe he’s gone.

Time to do that wonderful weekend chore…clean house. Waves and best wishes to all the JP fans.

CLINIQUA @ 09/27/2008 at 1:59 pm

I agree! With every word that you said! Again, I am sorry for mistake in my first post, I wrote 1953 but it was 1958, and the post was already posted when I noticed mistake, so I correct that! But I am still having problems with JJ, I didn’t see my first post!

That’s not the first look! It’s been on YouTube forever! The film looks awesome, interesting concept - aging backwards.

They most certainly did - 34 -12 (Homecoming dance tonight) I thought of you when I read about Newman’s death this morning. ITA I would have done the same. Don’t work too hard today.

Jen's Mole @ 09/27/2008 at 2:51 pm

Anyone who aspires to be vice-president is going to be under scrutiny. Palin’s record is one of secrecy, vindictive abuse of power and cronyism. That has nothing to do with her beauty or her gender. Her religious affiliations are also highly relevant to her desire to be in the White House. Hatred of gays and feminist is unacceptable. Having as your pastor a guy that states that people’s salvation is in question if they vote for John Kerry is unacceptable, whether he was joking or not. Allowing yourself to be blessed by a demagogue, who rose to fame and riches by targeting a woman he didn’t like in the community, and branding her as a witch, is revolting.

Palin’s church is a holy-roller sect. Read up on Pentecostals and you will see why people are suspicious of Palin’s morality.

Paul Newman @ 09/27/2008 at 2:54 pm

He was a class act . There will never be another Paul Newman in Hollywood.

It’s interesting to see the turn around in enthusiasm after that Telluride brouhaha. I’m usually not that fond of Fincher’s work but based on these last 2 trailers I think the movie looks incredible. Sure hope it lives up to the promise it shows.

piper, with a low @ 09/27/2008 at 12:41 pm
Given that Kirk has been promoting his film all over the place and talking about his family, this ‘ten kids’ thing is completely inexcusable. And given that they rattled off the ages of six children should’ve been an additional clue.
******************************************************************

I was counting the ages of the kids, scratching my head and wondering if there were several sets of twins in there for them to come up with ten kids. Thanks for clearing that up.

iekeliene @ 09/27/2008 at 3:50 pm

I don’t get it. I saw these trailers a couple of months ago when I went to see a film (i live in nz). How is this a first look?

Saw the trailer for “The Changeling” when I went to see “The Miracle at St. Annas” today. It is more amazing seeing the trailer on the large screen. Angie looks beautiful. As for the movie “The Miracle ….” I didn’t like it. Some parts of it just didn’t make sense to me. I didn’t like some of the acting and the storyline is not smooth. Don’t think it will get an academy nom. Some of the characters are good but others are not. I hate how in the one sex scene in the movie, it is always the woman that takes off her top and exposes everything. They could have left that part out. It was shameful to me for them to put that part in; was not needed to tell the story. Well that’s HW. Spike has made better movies. It is not “The Great Debaters”.

Andrómeda @ 09/27/2008 at 5:01 pm

This is a sad day. Paul Newman was a fantastic actor and a wonderful person. He will be missed.

Yay! It looks alike very good movie. I’ll see it!

Charity is LOVE @ 09/27/2008 at 3:09 am

You’re very annoying! That amount you’re talking about is 14 MILLION DOLLARS, not 14 bucks or 1400 bucks, so they need to spend it in an instant when they’ve got the money. It’s wise that they spend it slowly to charities. Slow doesn’t mean never. Use your common sense to judge. It’s only fair.

THIS TRAILER IS FABULOUS–can’t wait to see the movie! Best wishes to all BAMPZSKV fans. A speical shoutout to anoble, vickiefromtexas, senior, guli, missouri fan, and all of those who are so dear. I’ve missed hearing from you! Soon, we’ll see the whole family again!

when is the premier for Angie film does anybody know?

don’t click on that site,spam virus

I can’t wait to watch this movie. It looks beautiful.

Guli is alive and well. She’ll be back soon.

Actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did not attend the initiative but called Clinton on Friday morning and said they would help rebuild 12 schools in Haiti, as they have been doing in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina three years ago.

Thanks Rein for information from Germany.

Paul Newman will be truly missed. He is an icon and wonderful humanitarian.

===========================
The following is a good post f( written by a fan) or you to read.
-
-
I realize that you are making a joke but you know nothing about Alaska. It is an incredibly complex state. It is huge - the size of one fifth of the entire lower 48 states. It has more coastline than the entire lower 48. It has varied and numerous Native Americans with their different cultural and spiritual practices and beliefs. Not unsimilar to that of the Native Hawaiians. People who mock those cultural differences are simply showing their ignorance and prejudices.

Alaska has a huge National Park presence (one park the size of Rhode Island) , incredible wildlife and environmental issues and management. Because of its geography and weather, it has to deal with the unique problems assocated with that. It’s huge wealth in natural resources brings with it numerous governmental oversight and management issues. It has active trading relations with numerous foreign countries.

Alaska’s national guard is unique in the US because it is on active status 24/7 due to Alaska’s geographical location and the role it plays in our national defense and homeland security. Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National
Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic
missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard
units.

Ridiculing Plain because she is “just” a governor is ridiculous.

Here’s what one Democratic governor who supports Obama said:

“The reality is, governors every day have to make decisions for better or for worse. That’s part of the job. It’s an executive position. And it’s a position that is like what you’re going to do when you’re president. Legislators, they do different things. They debate and they pass their bills back and forth,” he said.

“But governors make decisions, and I think it’s a tactical mistake for the Democrats to question Gov. Palin’s experience when she’s been a governor of a state,” he said. “I don’t think the size of the state is relevant. It’s the kinds of decisions you have to make as governor.

Brad is the man! Great trailer, looking forward to this movie.
RIP Paul Newman.

bye bampzskv,looking foward to seeing angie,peace

From SF Chronicle’s DATEBOOK:

IN REVERSE
It took “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” about 80 years to make it to the big screen, but Eric Roth finally managed to turn F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story into a viable Hollywood project. The David Fincher-directed movie which opens Christmas Day and stars Brad Pitt, had been lingering in development hell for years as directors and screenplays came and went. When Roth got his hands on the project a couple of years ago, he found the themes particularly resonant.
“Fitzgerald’s story is about a man who ages backward,” says Roth, who will be honored with a Mill Valley Film Festival tribute on October 11. “When I read the piece, it coalesced with a lot of things in my own life. My own mother was about to pass away, and I just felt myself getting older, I saw my children getting older, that kind of thing. The passage of time - that’s not an uncommon theme in my work. ”
Roth put a different spin on the premise.
“Fitzgerald’s tale is slightly different because he started out with the man as a full-size man at the age of 87,” he says. “I was more literal, where Benjamin Button is born with all the physical characteristics of a man in his 80s but is baby size. From that point on, as he grows into a teenager and we show various parts of his life, he’s aging backward.”
Roth, author of scripts for “Forrest Gump”, “The Insider”, “Ali”, “Munich” and “The Good Shepherd”, adds that he aimed to tell a story that “earned its sentiment, without being sentimental. It sounds great to get younger, but we raise the question that maybe it isn’t. Maybe, in the end, whether you age backward or forward, you have to live your life well.”
Roth was not initially confident that Pitt was the right man for the job, but now he is.
“Brad did a pretty great acting job,” he says. “It’s not one of these bravura, over-the-top performances. He’s very quiet, very simple. After one preview screening, no one mentioned Brad Pitt. It was Benjamin did this, Benjamin did that. That’s a testament to Brad, who really disappeared into the character and made it his own.”
*********
Hi cook, anoble and Neleh! :) Sorry we keep playing JJ tag, lol. Talk to you guys later. Hello also to senior and irma. :)

Later…

Losing Paul Newman is like losing part of my past; like Pitt he could meld into any character and play it with an integrity rarely seen in todays ’slick’ style. He didn’t ‘use’ his looks, rather opting for intelligence and substance in his character portrayal. Those who likened Joanne and Paul to the JP’s merely echoed my sentiments. Two deep people who recognized the quality in each other. Like Johnny Carson once said, ” The greatest sex organ is between the ears.”

By their own admission, in interviews available on youtube, Paul and joanne were quietly living together before his divorce was final.

When asked about infidelity later he was quoted as saying,
“Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home”

Joanne was his “steak” as Angie is Brad’s “steak”

…..Angelina has her own stardust. She is physically beautiful, has an animal grace in movement and also has an inner glow, honesty, fearlessness and fierce desire to grow and understand the world. Those traits serve her well in her acting and other interests.
There are many beautiful actresses out there - always will be. But I love how gutsy she is and unafraid to make mistakes and live her life on her own terms.
Brad and Angelina had different types of stardust, his being more of the heart-throb, movie star brand. His type of stardust always attracted the constant glare, the image.From comments of his that I have read I believe he wanted to get out of that mold, personally and professionally.
Look at them now! A Perfect Storm of talent, generosity, beauty, sexiness, nurturing and fertility!
Fascinating to watch for some, and a source of angst and jealousy for others……

Is Pretty Woman pregnant again?
Published: 25 Sep 2008

PICTURES of Hollywood beauty JULIA ROBERTS leaving a New York restaurant covered up with a pashmina have set off rumours that she is pregnant again.

After dinner at trendy eatery Ye Waverley Inn with her sister LISA, the Pretty Womanstarwas careful to shield her midriff from the cameras.

Julia shot to fame playing a prostitute who wins the heart of RICHARD GERE in the 1990 film Pretty Woman but was herself unlucky in love for many years.

She has been linked to LIAM NEESON, DYLAN MCDERMOTT, KIEFER SUTHERLAND, MATTHEW PERRY and BENJAMIN BRATT.

She married country singer LYLE LOVETT in 1993 after a three week romance but the marriage only lasted a couple of years.

In 2000 Julia began an affair with cameraman DANIEL MODER who divorced his wife and wed the star two years later.

The couple became the parents of twins HAZEL and FINN in 2004 and added son HENRY three years later.

Will there be a fourth pair of tiny feet pattering soon?

Julia Roberts’s romantic dossier, flying off to Ireland with Jason Patric days before her much ballyhooed wedding to Kiefer Sutherland was scheduled to take place. And Sutherland, it might be remembered, had left his wife and children to live with Roberts; Patric was his close friend. Before and after Sutherland and Patric, Roberts marched through a troop of paramours from Liam Neeson to Daniel Day-Lewis, Matthew Perry and Benjamin Bratt, and she married Lyle Lovett scandalously suddenly and briefly in 1993.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the best actors of the last decades. They can act in any type of movies, they epitomize raw talent, the Oscars should give credit where credit is due, otherwise the Oscars will not mean anything in the future.

The Oscars recognize great actors, good movies, impeccable acting, BP and AJ represent that.

Briseis -

If you’re lurking out there. I did the tab report but I’ve got to proofread it first so it’ll probably be tomorrow afternoon before I post it. Er…it’s kinda long because I literally picked apart the OuttaTouch article word by word…

Old News from Berlin

There is a nice article from Gala.de. It is a magazine, which issued every two weeks. It is always late (compared to the tabs), but they always have nice pictures.

Dated on 26th September 2008

There are pictures of their arrival (blur picture of Pitt and Zahara), the night Pitt and the film-crew had fun, and you can see in a very close distant the villa they live in (and securities).

http://www.gala.de/stars/news/35459/Jolie-und-Pitt-Grossfamilie-in-Berlin.html

Translation :

The Big Family in Berlin

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are on the move at the moment with all of their children in capital of Germany - and remain a few more months.

Those who are during the next days in Berlin see a big family on the way, should pay attention closely. Because it could concern Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt with their six children. Since Tuesday the pair with their “followers” are in the capital.

For about three months the family will remain in Berlin, because Papa Brad will stand for Quentin Tarantino’s world war drama ” Inglorious ******** ” before the camera. In addition, the German première celebration of his actual film ” Burn After Reading ” is waiting on the 1st October.

The 8-headed family will stay in the ” “Palais Parkschoss at Wannsee” . The complex with a total of three villas in quiet position is surrounded by a fence which is now already dressed up with 2.50 meter high view protection mats.

In the box, there are list of pictures. On the top are the newest, and then the family album (71 pictures of the family - you will like it), and Wanted.

Bye!

PS. Voe and Orchid, thanks for your kind word (on the other thread), and “andamendtothat”, Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate), is the Gate of the Capital city. It belongs to Berlin, previously belonged to East Germany. If I am not mistaken it is named after a city in Brandenburg State (Brandenburg an der Havel, if I am not mistaken). In German Language, if something is named after a city, than we put “er” at the end of the city name. So, Berliner Strasse ( means actually Berlin Street).

I’m loving it. It’s gonna be probably one of the most beautiful films in which Brad Pitt starred.

Cliniqua is always done with this site but never done. Girl, you need to make up your mind on what you want to do and stop boring us with ur lameass threats. :roll:

Of course yay. I could hardly wait to see this movie. Brad is a very talented actor and a generous philantrophist.

From John Mayer’s blog….it’s his ode to Paul Newman…and usual attempt at cleverness where he fails miserably and yet at the same time, says way more about himself (obnoxious narcissist superficial shallow douche) than he does about his topic:

Paul Newman
September 28, 2008

I’m not sure when or where it started, but I used to play this game with my friends where we’d try and figure out who the “heaviest” legend was in terms of having the clout to bump another superstar from a reservation at a packed restaurant on a Saturday night. It starts to get fun when you work your way up to bickering about whether Robert De Niro bumps Bob Dylan, or Springsteen bumps Bono, but the game quickly runs out of steam when you realize that nobody can top Paul Newman. You can sort of picture Bill Clinton standing at the front of Nobu waiting for a table to pay their check, smiling and whispering “Paul NEWMAN is here!”

Nobody will ever be that cool again.

Really now. I ask you…who da f*ck, ‘plays,’ a ‘game’ such as that?? What GUY plays a game like that?

Most guys ‘play,’ playstation, or pick up basketball, or beer pong, or chess…they don’t ‘play,’ : gee - what famous person is more famous than some other famous person and can get a better table!

That’s flamier than something Perez Hilton would do. In fact, Perez is too macho to ‘play’ that game. LOL

I think that’s the number one reason he was with Aniston, he is a starf*cker - not that he was impressed with Aniston — but because she was a couple degrees removed from ‘Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie’ - he simply wanted to breathe that same innocuous boring air, and walk in the same miserable shoes that BP did…just to say he went where Brad, the movie star did…and maybe also to see why so much ink is wasted on someone so mediocre. Perhaps he’s even more radical than we know, and is a big JP fan, looking to expose fraudiston…either way, he’s still fame and movie star obsessed.

He’s obsessed with fame, and movie stars - and Aniston, the whiny coattail riding TV sit-com hack making a career of her past life with one, brought him as close as he’ll ever get to them.

That little blog says it ALL.

Crap…I’m in moderation hell, so I’m going to post this in 2 parts…

First my comment, then the article…

I love it when British journalists who have interviewed stars over a long period of time think they know the stars better than the stars know themselves. Below is an article from a Scottish newspaper site written by a man named Guy Pierce. He says he first met Brad in 1989 and has interviewed him several times and followed his career for the last 20 years. He then proceeds to talk about some things in Brad’s life and things he says Brad told him PERSONALLY during the course of these 20 year. Only the thing is - just about everything he says Brad told him personally has been in other articles about him and when he talks about the things Brad told him he puts words in Brad’s mouth, but doesn’t enclose them in quote marks. To me that means he’s paraphrasing and putting his spin on it. He talks about Brad dumping Putrid and X and says it was “for no apparent reason” and says he up and walked away from Juliette Lews. He gives the false impression that Brad has a short attention span and flits from woman to woman, when in reality all 3 of those women screwed up big time - Juliette with drugs, Putrid with an affair and X with her neuroticness/neediness/inability to be honest/overall selfishness.

Basically this guy is reading too many British tabloids because ALL of his comments about Angie are tinged with snarkiness about her being nutty or made at Brad for working too much and not being home enough. He thinks Brad is a more in love with doing films than his family and that he’s going to have to make a choice soon - his movie career or Angie and the kids. How he can say this about a guy who took off 2 years to prepare for kids that never came is beyond me. But hey, read it for yourselves and gnash your teeth like I did. British/UK newspapers writers ALL write in that sensationalist tabloidy style where they put the direst spin possible on their stories.

Anyway…here’s the article

Would the real Brad Pitt please stand up?
Published Date: 28 September 2008
By Garth Pierce

It bothers me that people cheat on their partners when they are making a film, he told me. I do not know where people are coming from when they do that.

I know it happens all the time on film sets, but I operate in the belief that it catches up with you. These people have to live and make their own choices.

As someone who has also allowed his family to be photographed by glossy weekly magazines, he has put his life with Jolie into the public arena. And how long this most ambitious of actors can carry on being a full-time escort and father figure to the gloriously nutty Jolie is open to question.

He is already father to six of her children three born naturally, the other three adopted. He swears that he loves it, with that easy smile of his. It is the most fun I have ever had and also the least sleep I have ever had, he says. In fact, sleep is nonexistent.

To see him surrounded by a family in magazine spreads seem in sharp contrast to his obsession with progress in his career. Children make me much more efficient,” he insists. That is my main focus. I can still find time to do other things, by being more focused on what is important.

It is true that Pitt has always wanted children he was saying so, 15 years ago. He has more than got his wish: adopted son Maddox, aged six, is from Cambodia; Pax Thien, four, from Vietnam; Zahara Marley, three, from Ethiopia; and he and Jolie are biological parents to Shiloh Nouvel, born in Namibia on May 27 2006. Their twins, a boy Knox Leon and a girl Vivienne Marcheline, were born on July 12 this year.

So what of the record of his partner, Angelina? She loved second husband Billy Bob Thornton so much, she carried a tube of his blood around her neck and bought His and Her burial spots in a churchyard in Arkansas, so they would never be apart, even in death.

What she has with Pitt seems, on the face of it, much closer: children and charity work and a shared desire to change the world for the better.

In the meantime, Brangelina have become Hollywood’s most successful brand. Even the disappointment of Pitt producing last year’s mighty flop, A Mighty Heart, in which Jolie starred, has not halted an unstoppable surge. Angelina will next be seen in Clint Eastwood’s latest, Changeling, released on November 28.

The children are still young enough to travel with the two stars, on location from their current base, a rented property in the south of France. They will soon need schooling. Jolie has made it clear that children give her a far greater thrill and purpose in life than films.

Pitt, on the other hand, is a movie junkie. He loves being on a film set, creating. He is soon going to have to make a painful choice between career and full-time fatherhood with the demanding Angelina.

He balances his private life, though, with a career which looks in good shape. Pitt delivers some scene-stealing moments in Burn After Reading, again alongside Clooney, who plays a federal marshal enjoying an affair with Tilda Swinton, who is married to a top CIA man, played by John Malkovich.

The film is set between the CIA’s headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, and the fitness centre where Pitt’s character works. The only constant thread is the wish by a fellow fitness centre employee (Frances McDormand) to be able to afford cosmetic surgery.

Pitt also has some strong forthcoming features, including The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, based on a short story by F Scott Fitzgerald in which an old man ages backwards. By the time he has regressed to the age of 50, he begins an affair with a character played by Cate Blanchett, who is 30. They have to come to terms with their relationship as they age in the opposite directions.

The film is lined up for a big Christmas Day release in America there is no release date yet in the UK which usually guarantees not only a healthy box office but a possible Oscar nomination. He has also finished The Tree Of Life, co-starring Sean Penn, and directed by Terrence Malick.

Pitt has added to his movie fortune by appearing as Rusty Ryan, alongside old acting friend Clooney (playing Danny Ocean) in Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen, which represent his biggest box office successes. I am not saying anything against those films, he says. They entertain and were great to work on.

But Pitt has, quietly, given back a lot of what he has earned. Apart from his charity work, on virtually every film set, whether Meet Joe Black (1998), Snatch (2000), Ocean’s Eleven (2001) or Troy (2004), he has made secretive and generous gifts to the film crew and others.

I cannot give specific details, since I promised secrecy at the time, but they have ranged from a new Ford Mustang convertible to Rolex watches. I remember him handing $5,000 to a crew member in Argentina, to pay for an operation for his daughter.

Pitt makes no apology about how his views have been shaped by his upbringing in Missouri. One of the things we had when growing up is that you do not talk about yourself, he says. It is all about actions and actions speak for you. I believe in that. I have never been impressed by words or promises, to be honest. What you actually do says more about a person.

But when hard decisions have to be made, particularly those of the heart, then Pitt can make them with deadly effect. He may not know the answer yet, but surely the ultimate one on the horizon is Angelina Jolie and the kids or William Bradley Pitt’s film career?

Would the real Brad Pitt please stand up?
Published Date: 28 September 2008
By Garth Pierce

As one who first met him long before he was famous, with regular interviews over the years, I know he puts on the bravest, most uncomplaining face. He will deliver convincing arguments, with passion, about why he should be with someone. He wears his heart not so much on his sleeve, but plastered across his forehead.

He has sworn his love to me for Gwyneth Paltrow and former wife Jennifer Aniston. Then he dumped both, suddenly and unexpectedly. There was a long relationship with Juliette Lewis, his co-star in his 1993 film Kalifornia. She fell from grace and into depression when he walked away.

Back in Budapest in 1989, when he was visiting his fiance, the more successful actress Jill Schoelen and who can remember her now? on the set of Phantom Of The Opera, a horror movie with Robert Englund. Even then, he was a full-blown romantic.

He had taken $600 from his $800 savings to buy an air ticket to travel more than 6,000 miles from Los Angeles just to visit Schoelen. We talked as he looked around the film set. I would love to get in to movies, he said, hopefully. But I am here today to see my girl.

He was in for a shock that night, as he told me later. We were sitting in this wonderful restaurant, which she had been telling me all about on the phone, he recalled. Then she tells me that she thinks she is in love with the director. (Dwight L Little, for the record]. She then starts crying. I said: You are crazy. I am out of here. No more of this. I want no part of it. I am gone.

He had a vague plan to go and see friends in Yugoslavia, then, like Hungary, still clinging on to the Communist empire. He took a cab to Budapest’s railway station, to find it closed. “I spent the night on a bench, with a bum who could not speak English, he said.

The next day, I took a train to Yugoslavia. And what happens? I get arrested at the border for not having the right visa or papers. They took me off the train and kept me in a room for several hours. I was having visions of the film Midnight Express, when the guy is locked away for years.

He was finally handed a visa to visit Yugoslavia, but still had to return to Budapest to take a return plane home, virtually broke. As he sat waiting for that plane, he told me he had never felt more depressed.

But by the time we did meet up again, he had made considerable headway. Suddenly, he was getting regular film work and his bank account was looking healthy.

He reflected then exactly what he had done to keep himself going when he arrived from small-town Springfield, Missouri, in Hollywood, aged 22. I did everything from delivering refrigerators, dressed up as chicken for a restaurant opening and drove strippers, he said. It was a rude awakening for me. With the strippers, I would do the driving, play the music, try and make the deal and then get the strippers out, safely, with their clothes. We went to people’s homes bachelor parties and things like that. Some were a couple of hours drive from Los Angeles.

I sometimes did three shows a night. The girls were all actresses supposedly. They were not the kind of girl you would take home to mom. A couple of them I liked very much. They were small-town girls in a big city and they were doing this to earn money, just as I was.

But even what seemed like good money at the time I got $25 per girl, with $325 for one particularly party was not enough. The whole thing got to me after a while, he said. All the girls were actresses in their own minds. Not one of them was a stripper, according to them. I felt bad for them.

His lifestyle was hardly luxurious, with or without the money for driving strippers. I was sleeping on a floor, he said, flatly. I had a friend back in Missouri who said that his father had a place in Burbank and I could stay there. I stayed with this woman, who could not speak English.

There were eight guys in one room, with no furniture. I had my own corner, with my pile of clothes stacked up, and my own sheet on the floor. I had a sheet and a blanket and that is how I lived and slept for 18 months. I did not mind going through it all at the time. That was part of the gig. That was what I signed up for when I arrived, in the hope of becoming an actor.

Such tales are unlikely to be repeated today, of course. The memories fade. They were already in the distant past by the time we met early in 1997 in freezing cold British Columbia, Canada, on the set of Seven Years In Tibet. At that time, he was freshly engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow. Over dinner he talked of his expectations.

I have bought her the biggest engagement ring in the world, he said. I designed it over a period of time. I spent almost a year on it, looking at rings. I went to a lot of shops, wanting specific things. We are going to set aside a big chunk of time for the wedding and spend time to experience life together.

I believe in marriage and want to kiss the bride, wear the ring, wear my suit. And wake up the next morning and go: Good morning, my wife. Can I get you tea or coffee? Exactly four months after this conversation, Pitt called off the engagement.

Since that moment, he has been far more circumspect in his praise for the women who have shared his life. Even Jennifer Aniston, when they married on July 29, 2000, did not win such fulsome public praise as Paltrow. He was emphatic about wanting children the marriage did not produce any and divorced her in October 2005, after he had met Jolie on the film Mr & Mrs Smith.

But, unless I have been fooled to the point of blindness over the years, Pitt remains both loyal to the woman in his life and curiously old-fashioned at least, for Hollywood about affairs.

Published Date: 28 September 2008

BLUE eyes shine forth there is an evangelical look in those eyes, at times and Brad Pitt seems as relaxed in a tuxedo as he did in dress-down cotton trousers and sweatshirt earlier in the day.
He talks in the slow, slightly hesitant manner of his native state, Missouri. Think along the lines of the accent he shaped for Jesse James himself, who came from the state. It’s not too far-fetched to say that Pitt, as ever pleasant and gracious, always seems to be peering into the distance, like someone on the edge of open prairies.

I have followed Pitt’s career for the past 20 years, and have seen him grow from a work-hungry young actor happy to divulge his passion for film and women to anyone who would listen, to the deeply private multi-millionaire he is today. He and his partner Angelina Jolie notoriously rarely give interviews, and when they do they are no longer of a personal nature. So talking to Brad Pitt these days really just means being in his presence and attempting to figure out what makes him the star he is today.

We first met on March 28, 1989, in Budapest, Hungary. Pitt was an unknown who had four episodes of the television series Dallas to his name, playing a character called Randy.

Our most recent meet was in Venice, earlier this month, at the city’s film festival. Pitt walked the red carpet like a gunslinger who knew he has the fastest draw in town. He had triumphed last year as best actor for his film The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford and he was determined to once again prove that his career is on target. He may have failed in the end (it was won by Italian actor Silvio Orlando), but, in a sense, he achieved what he set out to do. He once again shot down accusations that he’s an acting lightweight and won more admirers for his glad-handing style among fans and critics.

I never expect to have good reviews, he tells me.

That’s just the way it is. I have not built up my expectations and will not suffer disappointments. I never start a movie to do bad work.

Sometimes, things don’t quite work out as you’d have hoped. There are so many factors which come together in making a movie - script, director, location, the quality of the crew, the mood of the actors, that it’s a wonder how many good movies are actually made.

His latest film, Burn After Reading, is another bizarre mixture of comedy, satire and drama from the Coen brothers. But Pitt’s numbskull gym instructor is a joy to behold. Despite being 44, he manages to look about 28, with spiky haircut, harebrained energy and Spandex shorts.

He also doesn’t mind sending himself up. He’s a gum-chewing, iPod-addicted bubble-brain, he observes. I said to the directors: But he’s such an idiot. They just smiled and nodded. So I had to get on with it. I have been a big admirer of the Coens since watching films like The Big Lebowski and Fargo. George (Clooney] had worked with them before on O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and said it was an exceptional experience.

It was. They will watch you film a scene, never say a word and then move on to the next, very quickly. You think to yourself: Am I doing a good performance or not? Only people like them would have persuaded me to have a blond streak in my hair and wear Spandex shorts. But it was a new film experience and that’s what I always say that I am after. It was also a lot of fun to work with George again. I like to have a good, light atmosphere around a film set to work on. With George, he manages to keep a string of jokes coming. He always cracks us up and, sometimes, it is hard to do a scene with a straight face. I don’t think anyone enjoys their work as much as he does.

Pitt is always happier discussing films these days and even lighting cameramen than his private life. He also does not duck responsibilities. He has given a slice of his income to helping flood victims in New Orleans with the Make It Right project, another $100,000 has gone to help the cause of gay marriages in California and considerable help to several charities in Africa. But, like it or not, it is the public’s fascination with his life away from the screen which has made him an international name and face.

Would the real Brad Pitt please stand up?
Published Date: 28 September 2008

Wow, that guy must be drinking something. How can you write an article about someone’s deepest emotions, when you have only sat down to interview them a couple of times over the years. Doesn’t the author know that that makes him a stranger. Boy, some reporters are delusional.

And I agree PT, it does seem like he read all the tabloids and merged every rumor with his own belief about who Brad Pitt is. And I think this probably has to do with the fact that Brad does not speak about his personal life. I know the trolls like to say that he’s a famewhore, but Brad hardly says anything about his life. And I think in a bid to get close and understand him. the tabloid and media, make-up stories about him through the little snippets they get from other actors, onset crew, 5 minute interviews, and lies from some of his exes. They they cobble it altogether and think that they understand him. I don’t think some of his exes understood him either (hint Putrid & X).

PT, I read the article and well did an :roll:

The “journalist” is either lazy and hasn’t done enough homework or is plain dishonest. If the facts don’t fit, ignore it.

he had 2 hypothesis. (1) Brad is fickle about his women. No mention that GP said she was the architect of her own misery, or JL saying that the man she dated in her late teens whilst he was in his twenties (this being Brad) taught her a lot about honestly and love in a relationship. Both of which goes against the message he wanted to communicate, that Brad is fickle about his women.

Hypothesis no 2 - Brad is an actor and really only wants to act. No mention of recent interviews from Brad saying he was (a) more interested in architecture, family and producing then actually acting and (b) acting was a young mans game. No mention of the fact that Brad was in fact so UN enamoured by acting, he took 2 years off at the height of his looks.

Oh well. c’est la vie.

There’s a rumor floating around that had me nearly choking on my milk when I heard it: “Joanne Woodward in talks with Brad to play her husband (Paul Newman) in a big screen adaption of his life… Starting from arriving in HW to his marriage to Joanne. Filming begins late next year, & will be released early in 2010.”

Who wants to bet this will find its way to 1 of the tabs?

Although… When you think about it… Who deserves a movie on his life than PN, & who else could do it? (Nasty remarks will be ignored!)

Sorry. Meant to say adaptation instead of adaption.

Well, Changeling is coming up so X needs to do her typical superficial ways just to be in the news, in a desperate attempt to grab the headlines from someone whom she knows she can’t compete with, in all aspects.

So, what else is new ???!!! Again, nice try X, to no avail.

PT:

Saw your shout out and am so thrilled that you did a tab report. Will be in and out all day but will be checking on my trusty blackberry to see when you have posted the report. Thank you so much.

Also, thanks for posting that lame*ass article on Brad. Heck, you or AG could have written a better one. I could have written a more factual one than this obviously lazily-written, cobbled together article. What’s sad is he gets paid for this POS.

Brad Pitt loves his career than his family.
HE HAS 6 SMALL CHILDREN HE WORKS THAN A MAN WHO DOESN’T HAVE ANY CHILD.YOUR CHILDREN NEED YOUR ATTENTION, Brad.

I would like to share a great post written by Jacqueline from Brad’s previous thread.

I also included my message for Jacqueline after her post. So here it goes:

Jacqueline @ 09/28/2008 at 7:53 am #645

just KNOW all the gossip re Angelina & Brad ’splitting-up’ is absolute RUBBISH, but it really upsets me to read it / see it plastered everywhere - AND I do so hope that Angelina is okay and not reading any of the SHITE.
Brad is working so hard and has to promote his films - how else can this lovely family carry on and keep doing all the good work they have planned???
And dear Angelina - just had twins for goodness sakes - doing her best to keep their chldren safe, content, secure, happy, bonded etc. etc. - why oh why aren’t the media congratulating her instead of promoting her as having a breakdown and not eating . . . .
It makes me sooo ANGRY - us women with children KNOW what demands Brad & Angelina have on their hands.
So to dear Angelina & Brad:_-please keep on doing what you do; I and millions of others are here supporting you all the way - you are managing to do so much good in the world, and are inspitational to us. AND PLEASE hang-on-in there with the sleepless nights - you are a great couple and so good together (as your mother said, Angelina: “Marry this one, he is the one; such a good person” and he loves you so much Angelina, and the children -I just KNOW this, trust me!!).
Please everyone - as MY mother used to say to me: “If you don’t have anything positive to say, then don’t say anything.”
love & very besy wishes to the Jolie-Pitts xxxxxxxx (8 kisses - one each)
from Jacqueline, London UK (mother of a mere two daughters and just turned 58 :-II )

==========================================

Jacqueline, so touching !!! Your post is something different. I could really feel your concern for Angie & Brad. Your motherly care for them is very inspiring to think as I presume just like everyone else, you do not know them personally. The words of emotions you have expressed, both anger for the gossip mongers and encouragement for the couple, are spot on.

Brad & Angie are very blessed to have you as their supporter as you seem to think of their welfare always, and appreciate the good things they are doing with their personal & professional lives together. You seem to be passionate with the importance of the role of a woman with children just like Angelina. And it’s very good to know someone is saying her piece for this. Tabloids seem to forget that being a mother & partner or building a family is not easy, and it is indeed very unfair for people to spread lies instead of be inspired by the couple’s good example to the public.

Thank you, Jacqueline for this wonderful message. To have it reposted is not enough to convey how grateful I am for having the chance to read an enlightening post such as yours. How I wish you write & post more often as I love to read & to know your ideas on many things.

243 rien @ 09/28/2008 at 1:27 am Old News from Berlin

There is a nice article from Gala.de. It is a magazine, which issued every two weeks. It is always late (compared to the tabs), but they always have nice pictures.

Dated on 26th September 2008

There are pictures of their arrival (blur picture of Pitt and Zahara), the night Pitt and the film-crew had fun, and you can see in a very close distant the villa they live in (and securities).

http://www.gala.de/stars/news/35459/Jolie-und-Pitt-Grossfamilie-in-Berlin.html

Translation :

The Big Family in Berlin

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are on the move at the moment with all of their children in capital of Germany - and remain a few more months.

Those who are during the next days in Berlin see a big family on the way, should pay attention closely. Because it could concern Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt with their six children. Since Tuesday the pair with their “followers” are in the capital.

For about three months the family will remain in Berlin, because Papa Brad will stand for Quentin Tarantino’s world war drama ” Inglorious ******** ” before the camera. In addition, the German première celebration of his actual film ” Burn After Reading ” is waiting on the 1st October.

The 8-headed family will stay in the ” “Palais Parkschoss at Wannsee” . The complex with a total of three villas in quiet position is surrounded by a fence which is now already dressed up with 2.50 meter high view protection mats.

In the box, there are list of pictures. On the top are the newest, and then the family album (71 pictures of the family - you will like it), and Wanted.
Bye!
Great! So many pictures. Thank you. Who knows, you might even see them in person. After all they’re there for three months.

PS. Voe and Orchid, thanks for your kind words (on the other thread), and “andamendtothat”, Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate), is the Gate of the Capital city. It belongs to Berlin, previously belonged to East Germany. If I am not mistaken it is named after a city in Brandenburg State (Brandenburg an der Havel, if I am not mistaken). In German Language, if something is named after a city, than we put “er” at the end of the city name. So, Berliner Strasse ( means actually Berlin Street).
You’re welcome! It’s great to get stories and pictures of the JPs and at the same time learn a bit about Berlin. I look forward to your posts.

Hola! Bonjour! Hi haterz!…the champ is here…

…and to answer your question…I don’t know what to think about this blonde haired bleu eyed mutant Benjamin with the black ma…then again, sounds like a disgusting fairytale not as interesting as those in mother goose…

Brad Pitt loves his career than his family.

This movie is a must-see. Beautiful and amazing. Brad has made so many good movies. He is an excellent actor. I can’t wait to see this movie. I can’t wait to see Angie and possibly Brad on RC next week.

Oh… I really, really, really believe this guy… only I don’t.

First of all, BAR wasn’t in competition at the Venice Film Festival, so how could Brad lose to anyone? Next… no way in hell do I believe that Brad would spill details about Paltrow’s cheating to a reporter and I really don’t believe that a reporter would sit on any information like that. As for Brad giving away extravagant gifts to crew members, in front of a reporter, again, no way would a reporter sit on this kind of information and given the static that Brad got from the State of Play crew member when he bailed, you’d think that the crew members who got these gifts would’ve took up from Brad during that time.

The rest of it, especially the complete lack of quotation marks usage, spells pantload.

This is interesting if this is true. Brad can play Robert Redford easily, they look so much alike.

awww, Just by the trailer, the movie is a masterpiece. Can’t wait.

…ricky, why can’t I be in the show?…

Andrómeda @ 09/28/2008 at 11:30 am

Hi people. Hope you are having a wonderful sunday.
In the name of God!. Only haters can say that Brad is not a good father. He adores his children more than anything in the world. He said that many times. I remember he said a few months ago that he can´t imagine his life without his kids. Brad is a family man. Only a blind person can´t see that.

I read a bio about Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s love story. They remind me of Brad and Angie’s love story. They met on the movie set and he divorced his wife. When Paul and Joanne got together, the tabloids made up lies of their breakup almost every week like they did to Brad and Angie. But they are together for 50 years. What a beautiful love story. I can see Brad and Angie will be together like them.

EVERLASTING LOVE

Newman and Woodward never seemed to falter in their appreciation for one another, and became a symbol of lasting love in Hollywood, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in February. “Sexiness wears thin after awhile and beauty fades,” Woodward has said, “but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat!”
**************
Brad makes Angie laugh all the time.

…make it quick fred sanford, I don’t wanna be alone in the house with a unmarried man…

…lady goes to the family doctor and says doc can you help me?…my husband has stamina problems in the bedroom…doctor says sure, give him this to take once daily, this should help…a few months later, the lady’s son goes to the family doctor and says to the doctor, doc what was that medicine you gave my mom for my dad?…the doctor says why?…the son says well, my mom is dead, my sister is pregnant, the dog ran away, and my a ss is hurting…hahahahahahahaha

Thanks CK for the comparsion, the interesting thing is newman had 3 kids by his 1st wife and still divorced his wife, brad had no kids with his ex but people act like he had a bunch of kids with his ex when they divorced,interesting.

JM @ 09/28/2008 at 11:53 am

That’s right. One more thing, Newman and Woodward have donated over $200 millions to thousands charity organizations in the past 50 years.

yeah, you are right he is a bad father. I wish I have a bad father like him.

You idiots trying to compare Brad feaking Pitt to the Great Paul Newman need to give a rest. No way does Brad Pitt look anything like Paul Newman.

Paul Newman was pretty but still manly . Brad is a wimp. Brad should be compare with Chase Crawford and wimpy boys like him.

~~HAha~~ Good morning. ~~

PT - I didn’t know what to think about that article out of Scotland. I can’t tell if the author likes Brad or not. He made it sound like Brad just loves them and leaves them after falling in love deeply and completely. He also suggests that Brad might have loved and confessed his love for Gwyneth more than for any of his other women and that he didn’t really seriously want to have kids with then wife Aniston whom he divorced abruptly(his words) in October 2005. He also calls Angelina “his nutty partner” adding that Brad just allowed the weekly glossy magazines to capture his life with Jolie and the kids. Other these particular things, he said mostly positive things about Brad, praising his generosity and great acting skills and humility .

I hope it is true. I would love to see Brad plays Paul Newman. They both have the gorgeous baby-blue eyes.

Oh Gmab! Since we know even the most famous chick can go under the radar when she wants lets be fair here and call Brad’s many outings with Angelina’s children what it is . PHOTO~OPS~ okaaaaaaay?

Desperate photo-ops~

I can’t wait for the movie to came out. I love Brad Pitt movies. Yes, I am bias. :) l love everything that he does. The only think I did not like was his marriage with Maniston. :(

Brad hasn’t worked on a movie since April of this yr so I don’t see how he is working more than other actors with kids. Tree of Life was a two month shoot, he has been chilling with his family since then.

Brad is the best father in HW and the hottest daddy in HW. He is my favorite actor, so beautiful and so talented.

Good morning JPville. What’s up with the site? It’s hard to post. But maybe that’s just me. Anyway, no matter how you feel about Brad if what you have to say about him is he’s a bad father then you’re really reaching. Hi cook! :) Que pasa? It’s great to see you, I hope you’re enjoying your Sunday. Shout out while I can to anoble, tlol, vicki, Neleh, irma and senior.

I have probably seen most of newman’s films…he did good characters…I saw him on leno earlier this year where newman beat leno in a go-cart race inside the studio, then, leno got newman to eat from a can of dog food that newman sells for charity…newman said he wouldn’t feed a dog something he wouldn’t eat…

PT,

That is the most disingenious piece of c**p I have read in my life. It is worst than the tabloids. If he has followed Brad’s life over 20 years, how could he not know why he and all these womwn broke up? Hell, even Putrid eventually admitted it was all her fault. What is it with these British writers? It almost seem as if Brad and Angie did something to them personally, as they are always negative about them.

So now it’s a tube of BBT’s blood Angie had around her neck? This guy is a freaking joke. Brad has made 1 movie in 2006, 2 in 2007, and so far 1 in 2008, beginning his second one now. How the h**l is that working all the time, and will have to make a choice between Angie and his children and movies?

And what in h**l does he mean by saying Brad is “father to six of her children”? He is their father. I did not realise that so many d**m people’s lives were going to be affected when Brad and Angie got together.

hello bampzskv,i hope you all are having a lovely day

hmmm the disgruntle, whiny, bitter hens on board. Brad Pitt, Brad Pitt, Brad Pitt. What happened to Vinny or Peeboy.(the ones that last broke Whiny’s heart)

http://tracksounds.blogspot.com/2008/09/fantastic-new-trailer-for-curious-case.html

Back in May of this year the teaser trailer for director David Fincher’s next visual treat debuted with the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The mesmerizing and tantalizing images were musically backed by the equally mesmermizing and tantalizing piece “The Aquarium” from Carnival of the Animals. It was nearly a perfect trailer and, to tell you the truth, I was more excited about the potential of this THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON than what the latest Indy film did for me.

For sometime it has been a toss up as to which film I was most looking forward to seeing this December: AUSTRALIA or BENJAMIN BUTTON. Recently a second full length trailer was released and with that, “Old” BENJAMIN BUTTON is by far the front runner now.

While the first trailer emphasized the wonderous and mystical, this new trailer grounds the drama a bit more. Included in that “grounding” is “new” musical accompaniment. Now, I ‘m not certain if these are excerpts of ALEXANDRE DESPLAT’s new score for the film, but I do not recognize it off-hand. What we hear certainly could be…as the score was recorded some time ago (check out scoringsessions.com’s coverage) and is certainly in Desplat’s minimalist vein.

Regardless, this movie looks amazingly good. With the under-appreciated Brad Pitt, the always fantastic Cate Blanchette at the heart of the film and with David Fincher as the mastercraftsman over the entire project, my hopes could be no higher. I’m also betting that THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is going to be a far better showcase for Desplat’s talents than the overly-gushed GOLDEN COMPASS was last year. So what do you say?

Burn After Reading holding strong!!!!

‘Eagle Eye’ flies high at box office
Conspiracy thriller swoops in for $29.2 million
By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK

DreamWorks/Paramount’s thriller “Eagle Eye” scored the best opening since summer in grossing an estimated $29.2 million at the domestic box office from 3,510 runs.
The casualty of the weekend was Spike Lee’s World War II film “Miracle St. Anna,” which opened to a disappointing $3.5 million from 1,185 runs to come in only No. 9.

Otherwise, the box office was generally robust, even with Friday night’s presidential debate and the economic crisis.

“Eagle Eye” easily topped the box office chart, while Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures’ Diane Lane-Richard Gere romantic drama “Nights in Rodanthe” place No. 2 in its bow, grossing an estimated $13.6 million from 2,704 runs, according to Rentrak.

Samuel Goldwyn’s Christian-theme pic “Fireproof” was the surprise of the weekend in grossing an estimated $6.5 million from only 839 theaters and coming in No. 4.

Sony holdover “Lakeview Terrace” came in No. 3 in its second sesh, declining 53% to an estimated $7 million from 2,467 theaters for a cume of $25.7 million in its first 10 days.

Focus Features’ “Burn After Reading” continued to do well, declining 44% in its third frame to an estimated $6.2 million from 2,649 for a cume of $45.5 million.

I guess whiny’s latest bikini crotch show is the same old,same old since the hens have decided to park on this thread. Whining over Papa Pitt. Too funny. BP is somewhere handling his biz and taking care of his family with AJ. Jen is doing what she does best, selling tits and ass*, Oops my bad!!!!!

passing through -Thanks for taking the trouble to post the article.

After reading it, I was reminded of the recent interview with Angelina in the UK Cosmo and a very good point she made: how many of us wouldn’t look back ourselves 10, 15 years ago and not have a good laugh?

Celebs are no different from the rest of us and we all say and do some extreme things when we’re younger.

Firstly, there’s the arrogance of youth to consider, then there’s the absence of responsibility, specifically children.

Personally, I cringe when I recall some (not all) of the things I’ve said, the stances I’ve taken, heck, even the outfits I thought were cute 10-15 years ago.

I don’t think it’s possible for the writer to postulate on Brad’s level of commitment to family versus his love of film-making based on sporadic interviews over the years.

People grow, change and are defined by their life experiences and Brad is no different.

Brad and Angelina are simply living out on a grander scale what most of us do in our own lives, which is evolve.

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/27/google-comes-out-against-proposition-8/
Google comes out against Proposition 8. Good thing they way I google.

Proposition 8, a California constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage, has attracted an unlikely assortment of foes, including Vice President Cheney’s daughter Mary, Brad Pitt, and Steven Spielberg. Yesterday, Google also took the unusual step of jumping in, noting that because it has a “great diversity of people and opinions” at the company, it rarely takes “a position on issues outside of our field, especially not social issues”:

However, while there are many objections to this proposition — further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text — it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 — we should not eliminate anyone’s fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.

correction: Good thing because I google a lot.

That article was just bad for all kinds of reason, bad fan fiction, no quotes, and tabloid BS sprinkle throughout. How does some people get a byline or article publish with such rubbish? You would think that editors would be more careful. However,anything written about the Jolie-Pitt will get you hits.

bdj,thanks for all the articles

I can’t believe the X had done it again. Showing herself to be relevant in a bikini. She knows Angie’s “Changeling” will have the premiere & what’s the first thing the X did? Showing off her body again & again. Can’t she do something else, help the soup kitchen or volunteer to Red Cross . Oh, I forgot it’s not her cup of tea. My bad.
God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

Good news that Bar is doing fine. I went to see The egle eye yesterday because my boyfriend wants to see it.. It was great I think SL will be big star in the future.

Next week this time we will be talking about Brad , Angie and the changeling movie premire.I can’t wait.
I hate it when people steal someone else’s name. I don’t know why they keep stealing my tiny name . I just saw someone else’s using it in the other thread .oh well.

No doubt the tabloids will pick up this story, given the ridiculousness of it. As if Joanne is in the state of mind to suggest it, much less have the cheek to pitch it to Brad Pitt.

In my mind, no one well-known could portray Paul Newman. And, IMO, it’s too soon to even suggest the idea.

I watched the LK tribute to Paul Newman. In one of the segments, he talked about the tabloids, giving the example that if a reporter asked him whether he ever physically abused Joanne and he said no, the headline would be ‘Newman denies beating Woodward’. They also showed a visual of some tabloid headlines as recent as 2004; the one that jumped out at me was the one that said ‘America’s Sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon, gets naked for Paul Newman’ or something to that effect.

Newman was well-aware of the parasitic nature of entertainment journalism and yet some posters, mostly haters, are trying to make him their patron saint while still suckling the tabloid *** that he abhorred.

anoble,

Jesus freaking Christ, did you take special lessons to be as stupid as you are? You say Brad is the worst father in Hollywood because with six children he works more than an actor with no children. Well guess what, idiot: HE’S GOTTA WORK TO SUPPORT THOSE SIX CHILDREN, know what I’m saying? A guy with no kids only has to support himself. Who the fcuk do you expect to support those kids if their father doesn’t?

Damn, if I were half as stupid as you, I’d drown myself.

Brad and his Children (twins aren’t in these - can’t wait until they are old enough to be out and about - the video makers will be in a frenzy to get us some new vids)

ROTFLMBAO!!!! I really need to stop going to Jared’s homepage. Just as predicted…5 short days before Angie’s big NYC “Changeling” premiere…there’s X…in Meh-hee-co…in another too-small bikini POSING and trying to act like she’s NOT. God. Somebody buy this ho a clue and bikini that fits!

OT - for US fans - get ready to bend over:

Congress releases draft of financial bailout legislation

338 Anoble

Anoble you said that you can’t wait the twins are old enough to be out and about. like Shiloh? We get to see Shi so many times … like never.
They will do the same they do with Shiloh. We rarely will see the twins.
They hidden Shiloh and they will do the same with Knox and Viv.

Because you have to agree that we don’t see Shi has many times has we see the adopted. And don’t say that because she is young than the others. She has 2 years old, they can bring her out more often. The 2 years old of the adopted kids not stop them to get out.

Slightly OT…

Heather Locklear was arrested?!!

She’s based in CA and yet, not a whisper about her heading towards trouble and tabloids have transcripts of JPs’ conversations/confrontations in France?!!! GMAFB!!!

Wishing Heather Locklear will get a handle on whatever’s going on with her.
