Angelina Jolie’s W Magazine Photo Spread Revealed

Angelina Jolie’s W Magazine Photo Spread Revealed

W Magazine has published a bunch of the photos of Angelina Jolie and the kids, as photographed by longtime partner Brad Pitt. You can view them at WMagazine.com. (You have to click through the eight slides in the Flash slideshow.) Here are some choice excerpts from the cover article:

– Every family has its unique rites of passage, those generational milestones that mark a child’s growth and remind parents of their own similar experiences, years earlier. In the Jolie-Pitt household, one such event is the day a kid begins collecting daggers. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s seven-year-old son, Maddox, like many boys his age, has lately developed a fondness for guns and knives, and Jolie proudly notes that the predilection runs in the family. “My mom took me to buy my first daggers when I was 11 or 12,” she recalls. “And I’ve already bought Maddox some things. We take him to a special shop.” She emphasizes that the knife blades are dulled so they’re not dangerous, and that the purchases are accompanied by discussions about violence. But, she says, “we also talk about samurais and about the idea of defending someone as good. We talk about everything.”

– If Jolie has a favorite possession, she says, it’s the overstuffed Tumi case that holds the family’s travel documents: Vietnamese, Namibian, Ethiopian, French and American passports, plus her own UN credentials.

– The Jolie-Pitt bedroom, of course, remains off-limits to journalists. And sometimes even to kids, Jolie declares. “The kids do knock before entering,” she says. “We’ve at least got that part down. Because Mommy and Daddy need some space.”

Greetings Lylian,
“God knows who YOU or I have sat with in committees, gone to dinner with in work related functions, perhaps even had an occasional lunch with over the years of our lives.”

It was more than being on committee groups, it was an arranged fund raising event(s) for Obama held at their at their Hyde Park home. As a candidate for a serious government office, Obama and his advisors would have known who they were and the potential implications of their past to an elected official and impact on his constituency. Just because individuals have higher education and professional degrees doesn’t vindicate a violent reckless past that included being responsible for innocent death and they have no remorse for the death they caused.
It is also not unusual for the University community to accept and be tolerant of extreme idealism…that has been their general premise as part of “learning and education”…but this should not be construed as a green-light to glorify them.
He may be respected for his work but as a person Ayres is not as respected and distinguished as you imply. He is tolerated by many and has been rejected from participating in many educational forums because of his current day advocacy of violence as part of his political discourse.

Who the hell lets there 7 year old play with guns and knives??? I don’t care if she gives them “lectures” before handing them weapons but that is SERIOUSLY SOOOOO WRONGGGG!!!

Best of the New York Film Festival
By Lisa Collins, Hollywood.com Staff

From missing children to toppled regimes to jittery driver’s ed, this year’s 46th New York Film Festival pulled out the big guns, in its very “New York” way, blending American and foreign, mainstream and indie into one tasty smorgasboard.

But let’s face it, the main dish steals the show when the likes of a beaming Angelina Jolie and beau Brad Pitt walk the red carpet to join the festivities–with Angie making her first public outing since birthing the twins. Go gurl!

While cameras flashed off the hook for Mlle Jolie–who headlines Clint Eastwood’s buzz drama the Changeling–NYFF screenings, premieres and events have also continued to usher in the riveting talents of: Benicio Del Toro, Michelle Williams, Mickey Rourke, Amy Ryan, Marisa Tomei, Steven Soderbergh, to name a few.

Hollywood.com’s been workin’ it at the ongoing Fest which promises, again, to deliver a sneak peek at the hottest upcoming fall releases and Oscar hopefuls. Come, partake–here are a few standouts that caught our eye:

Changeling

Landing in Theaters: October 31

Who’s in It: Angelina Jolie, Amy Ryan, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan

Who Directed It: Clint Eastwood

What’s It about: Los Angeles,1928: A true story about a single mother, telephone operator (Angelina Jolie), who descends into a nightmare, when her son vanishes from their suburban home. An exhaustive, fruitless search ensues, entangling her in a swirl of LAPD corruption, when officials insist on passing-off another boy as her still M.I.A. son.

What You’ll Love: Jolie’s quiet, simmering anger that builds into a crescendo over the police corruption that she confronts is matched by Eastwood’s slow, confident build in presenting a period-specific, provocative story.

Clint Eastwood Says: “I didn’t know too much about the [kidnapping] incident and I was surprised that I hadn’t heard about it because it was such an unusual event in L.A., which historically has had a lot of crazy situations; but this one–I didn’t know anything until I read the script.”

She should not discuss private stuff like this—–it makes her look stupid.

———Please—-keep your family stuff private——————–

The photos are amazing.

OMG, I cant wait to see the full issue. I love the full black with baby and hat. Angelina is georgous, and the one with Shi and Pax, I love them all. :)

One cannot be tired of a celebrity(i.e. 5 pictures of Katie walking per day) and then go to the extreme measure of commenting on them. This just shows a perverse fascination.

I am tired of them and so are the people in Louisana, from another report on another board it’s very interesting.

I agree # 15 keep what you do with your kids private.

my take... @ 10/13/2008 at 10:32 am

I do not “believe” that Angie and Brad are “letting” their sons “play” with these objects, it sounds as if the boys’- Maddox inparticular has a very normal boyish interest in these items, it goes back to the old saying if you do not allow your children to explore their interests in all things, with sound “advice” to back it up, then the interest may become “dark” and all-encompassing( if you don’t allow a healthy interest, say in guns, a young boy will ultimately pick up a stick and pretend it’s a gun, nonethless)… sounds like the boys’ are interested in these things and they are allowing that interest to take shape with sound advice (weapons are not for hurting, etc.) to teach them that difference. It also sounds like they are maybe starting a collection as well… doesn’t sound like that big of a deal, especially for those of us who have and are around boys’… my opinion…

I believe that brangelina may be in danger of being overexposed.

Heard that rumor about Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis getting married? Yeah, so has she. And no, it’s not true.

“Each summer people say we’re supposed to be getting married, but we don’t talk about it that much,” Paradis – Depp’s girlfriend of 10 years and the mother of his two children – tells the U.K. edition of Elle in its November issue. “He’s got me, and he knows he’s got me.”

horrible like ever

The people of Hollywood would like make propaganda of yourself.
They don’t help nobody!

Okay sara is getting ready to spam the thread. Too funny.

I’m with a few of these posters…I’m sick to death of these two. I bet if Saint Angelina ran for pres, she’d win…everyone is so engulfed in her every move.
Further more, If Brad is taking such intimate photos of his family, isn’t that pimping out his family??? Every photo in this spread is oscar worthy. Seriously, no one has ever taken such personal photos of my family, including my husband or I. The picutres look like her portfolio for a modeling job, kids in tow.

ooommggg i cannot wait to see the whole mag

the movie seems to be great

i can look after the baby if you want i live 2h far from the chateau ::p:p

lucky iam to be french héhéh

those pics are beautiful.

No bdj you already did that. :) I doing whatever one else is doing posting my opinion. You may not like and you may not agree with but you are just going to have to live with it. Have a nice day.

sara @ 10/13/2008 at 10:42 am
That’s sara with an H and others.

God, keep blessing and watching over the Jolie-Pitt family.

Halloween’s Hottest Movie-Inspired Costumes Include The Joker, Iron Man and House Bunny, Says Fandango Survey
Nation’s Leading Moviegoer Destination Surveys Thousands of Fans on Top Hollywood Halloween Outfits

The Joker”, as immortalized by the late Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight”, took the top spot for the most popular men’s costume inspired by a 2008 movie, with Christian Bale’s “Batman” not far behind. Robert Downey, Jr.’s movie roles in “Iron Man” and “Tropic Thunder” helped round out the third and fourth choices, while Harrison Ford’s “Indiana Jones” made up the fifth pick.

“The House Bunny”, as played by Anna Faris, took the top spot for the most popular women’s costume inspired by a 2008 movie, followed by characters played by Kristen Stewart (the upcoming “Twilight”), Angelina Jolie (”Wanted”), Miley Cyrus (”Hannah Montana 3D”), and Vanessa Hudgens (”High School Musical 3: Senior Year”).

Brad takes lovely pictures … probably because he has lovely subjects to shoot; i’m sure brad also took pics of his oldest daughter, but they failed to include them in the slide-show . . . guess we’ll have to wait for the magazine.

Vote For Good Design
Saturday, 11 October 2008 GreenMuze Staff
E-mail Print

The Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum wants you – the public - to express your views on what constitutes good design for the annual People’s Design Award. Individuals can go online and nominate examples of designs that they think are worthy and vote for the designs that are already presented. There are approximately 180 designs to choose from – ranging from the lowbrow, high-tech to the handmade.

Designs currently on the site range from Brad Pitt’s Make It Right housing project in New Orleans to Inhabitant.com’s green design website. Many of the 180 designs are a bit corporate – like gDiapers flushable diapers or the ThinkPad X300 notebook computer.

News from Berlin

Yesterday, Pitt and Family have landed in Germany. This is the news about them, and their villa, which has some new touch.

Dated 10/13/2008

http://www.iloveradio.de/versteckt-hinter-neuem-sichtschutz-angelina-jolie-und-brad-pitt-mit-den-kindern-zurueck-in-berlin_00158.html

Translation

VIP’s pair Nr.1 of Hollywood is again in Germany.

After a good 10-day round trip with the stations New York, New Orleans and the South of France Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and her six children are back at her source place Berlin.

Yesterday Brangelina with their “appendix” landed in a private jet on airport Tegel and brought in a darkened minibus to their rented Wannsee villa.
“Chief of the Family” Brad will stand in front of the camera around for Quentin-Tarantino-Film ‘Inglorious ********’, a Remake from a Kino-Classic ‘Ein Haufen verwegener Hunde’.

All together the stay of the Jolie-Pitts should last in Berlin about three months. And while Angelina commented in US media very positively about Berlin (” Thus a peaceful town fond of children “), nevertheless, the pair lays value on the greatest possible bulkheading.

The inter temporal absence of the VIP’s family from the “Palais Parkschloss” was used by a security company almost to double the view protection running around the villa of opaque, green tarpaulin temporarily from 2.50 meters at 4.50-meter height.

Thus the property entrance looked on the 24th September, 2008:

# 12 WTF??? @ 10/13/2008 at 10:25 am Who the hell lets there 7 year old play with guns and knives??? I don’t care if she gives them “lectures” before handing them weapons but that is SERIOUSLY SOOOOO WRONGGGG!!!
+++++++++++++++++++
Who said they are letting them play with them unsupervised?

When we were kids, we learned how to handle guns, bows and arrows and knives. Mostly at a shooting range although my brother did archery competition for a while.

I know he used knives in scouting.

No one “put their eye out” and no one grew up to be a “killer”, or even a hunter. We were always supervised and learned that weapons, if used capriciously will kill.

Thanks JJ for the new thread.

I ADORE Angie, but I don’t go for the knife thing! Sorry, but I don’t like this bit at all.

” She emphasizes that the knife blades are dulled so they’re not dangerous, and that the purchases are accompanied by discussions about violence. But, she says, “we also talk about samurais and about the idea of defending someone as good. We talk about everything.”

Angelina is absolutely, positively gorgeous….and Brad Pitt….well, umm…..I wanna sop him up with a spoon!…

…Brad’s soooo scrumptious these days…

…with his cool walk,
…and wise demeanor,
…his paternal instinct,
…his delicious body,
…and sexy squint,
…and architectual intersts,
…and humanitarian tendencies,
…and his SUPER SPERM,
…and now…his photographic talent springing from his inspirational muse, Ms. Angelina Jolie….eeeeeeeeeeeee….

…I love their love.

…The greatest 21st century hollywood love story!!!!!!…by far.

God bless the Jolie-Pitts!

Hey fans!!!….(and haters)….whazup!!…

…We cant stay away from the brilliant light that is created by Brad and Angie’s life….(swoon)..

I love Brad and Angie!

Jared, thanks for the thread. Lovely photos. Is the magazine out yet?

YES she can @ 10/13/2008 at 11:14 am

Thank you Angelina for doing this cover.Beautiful pictures

Brad Pitt should have done the people pictures as well.His good.

phelps is the new hot @ 10/13/2008 at 11:17 am

THOSE PICS ARE TOTALLY AWESOME..
Brad is a fantastic photographer….

I must get a copy of that W issue!

well.......... @ 10/13/2008 at 11:19 am

She seems in such a great place in her life. If you are going to do an interview, I’d rather see the real person than a fake image (ie Jlo)

Love them all but I think my favourites right now are the one with Shilo, Pax and Angie, and the one with Mad laughing with Angie. Brad did a good job showing blissfully intimate moments. Can’t wait for the issue!

Love this part (about Rosie’s comments on her and Brad)

“No,” she says. “I mean, how should someone respond to something like that? She doesn’t know me. I have nothing to defend in my life. I’m sure she’s one of many people that have opinions.”

People can spew negative things about them. Who cares? Brad and Angie sure don’t, why should we?

luvangie4ever @ 10/13/2008 at 11:32 am

OMG These photographs are priceless! My favourite is the one with Maddox. But they’re all beautiful, all tastefully done. We think she’s beautiful but imagine how beautiful she is through the eyes of the father of her children. The one with Angie eating the burger made me laugh out loud, she gave him the look like she was saying “put that camera down already”. :lol:

How can anyone here complain that the media exploits this couple when they choose to exploit themselves? These moments with their children are PRIVATE and should be kept so. Why even feel the inclination to share these pics with the public unless you enjoy the publicity that comes along with it? Hypocritical much of them? And don’t even attempt to justify it with the excuses that they are proud and want to share their life with the world or that Brad is an artist and blah, blah, blah…All I can say is don’t keep expressing in interviews how the media is invasive and disturbs your life when you do the same thing to yourself in this magazine…they are as guilty of keeping the media interest on them as the papz and press…

Maria (Shorty) @ 10/13/2008 at 10:56 am I ADORE Angie, but I don’t go for the knife thing! Sorry, but I don’t like this bit at all.
__________________________

…I guess I’ll take your word for it that you’re an Angelina fan, but your attitude surprises me.

Angelina is a person who, UNLIKE YOU, doesnt place judgements on others…especially on personal matters having to do with their children. I’ve learned a lot from her in this respect, and have adopted a live and let live mentality when it comes to other peoples personal matters that is NONE OF MY BUSINESS, and which DOES NOT AFFECT ME.

…When you are a fan of someone, it doesnt mean that you have to approve of everything they do. They are a separate person, with their own individual morals and ethics. If you are a REAL fan of theirs, you would understand that they have as much of a right as YOU DO to raise their children as they see fit. If you are the kind of fan that expects an artist to do things that would NEVER offend you, then I think you should go over to the JENHAG thread.

…Many people teach their children to hunt and KILL live animals without having ANY conversation at all about the value of an animals life or lives in general, which I find very archaic and cruel, but to each his own.

Parents share their own interests with their children. Hunting deer and other animals who are endangered species is unacceptable to some people…yet some parents set up their whole lifestyle around hunting to the point where they have their innocent kill hung on their wall where unsuspecting guests have to endure looking at them. Why no uproar over that?

I think Maddox would be more prepared to know how to behave around dangerous weapons moreso than if he was a child that was shielded from any such interests, and then stumbled upon sharp kitchen utensils and such and started playing with them unbeknownced to his parents.

If you’ve followed Angie’s life in the public eye at all, you know that she loves Maddox dearly, and would never let anything happen to him. That goes double for Brad. The fact that she encourages his boyhood interests and gives him guidance about safety, violence..etc..is very enlightened.

You need to lighten up.

States’ Film Production Incentives Cause Jitters
By MICHAEL CIEPLY

LOS ANGELES — Already on the hook for billions to bail out Wall Street, taxpayers are also finding themselves stuck with a growing tab for state programs intended to increase local film production.

One of the most shocking bills has come due in Louisiana, where residents are financing a hefty share of Brad Pitt’s next movie — $27,117,737, to be exact, which the producers will receive by cashing or selling off valuable tax credits.

As the number of movies made under these plans multiplied in recent years, the state money turned into a welcome rescue plan for Hollywood at a time when private investors were fleeing the movies. But the glamour business has not always been kind to those who pick up the costs, and states are moving to rein in their largess that has allowed producers to be reimbursed for all manner of expenditures, whether the salaries of stars, the rental of studio space or meals for the crew.

Louisiana, one of the most assertive players in the subsidy game, wound up covering that outsize piece of the nearly $167 million budget of Mr. Pitt’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” — the state’s biggest movie payout to date — when producers for Paramount Pictures and Warner Brothers qualified the coming movie, a special-effects drama, under an incentive that has since been tightened. Separately, Louisiana’s former film commissioner is set to be sentenced in January to as much as 15 years in federal prison for taking bribes to inflate film budgets (though not that of “Button”) and, hence, pay higher subsidies.

Michigan, its own budget sagging, is in the middle of a hot political fight over a generous 40 percent rebate on expenditures to filmmakers that was carried out, with little opposition, only last April. Producers of films for studios like Warner Brothers and the Weinstein Company rushed to cash in, just as homegrown businesses were squeezed by a new business tax and surcharge. Rebellious legislators from both parties are now looking to put a cap on the state’s annual film spending, which some have estimated could quickly hit $200 million a year.

In Rhode Island, meanwhile, the rules have toughened considerably. That happened after The Providence Journal reported in March that producers of a straight-to-DVD picture called “Hard Luck,” which starred Wesley Snipes and Cybill Shepherd, had picked up $2.65 million in state tax credits on a budget of $11 million, even though it had reported paying only $1.9 million of the total to Rhode Islanders.

“With this much money involved, there’s going to be a temptation to hype budgets,” said Peter Dekom, a veteran entertainment business lawyer who is an adviser to New Mexico’s incentive program.

The vogue for state film subsidies appears to have started in Colorado early this decade, with a briefly financed Defense Against Canada law that was devised to win production back from Vancouver and Toronto. Louisiana and New Mexico soon came on board.

By this year, about 40 states were offering significant subsidies, turning the United States into what the Incentives Office, a consulting firm in Santa Monica, Calif., has called the New Bulgaria. It is a reference to what was once the film industry’s favorite low-cost production site.

Virtually all of the programs use a state tax system to reimburse producers for money spent on movies or TV shows shot in the state. Some, like Michigan’s, simply refund a percentage of expenditures to the producer. Others, like Louisiana’s, issue a tax credit that can reduce the taxes a production pays or be sold to someone else. Either way, the state gives up revenue that otherwise would be collected to put money in the producer’s pockets.

Advocates, of course, argue that these programs create jobs.

One of the country’s most successful programs is in New Mexico, which has backed movies like the Oscar-winning “No Country for Old Men” and next year’s “Terminator Salvation,” the latest sequel in the action series, with a reported budget of $200 million.

New Mexico officials boast of having used a 25 percent production cost rebate to build a local film industry that has attracted more than $600 million in direct spending since 2003, and an estimated $1.8 billion in total financial impact, as of last June. And in fiscal year 2008, the productions in the state generated 142,577 days of employment, up from 25,293 in 2004.

Elsewhere, however, critics have sharply challenged the notion that state subsidies for the film business can ever buy more than momentary glitter.

“There’s no evidence yet that this is a particularly efficient or effective way to create jobs,” said Noah Berger, executive director of the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center.

The nonprofit center reviews budget and tax policies in Massachusetts, which is spending about $60 million a year on producer credits. A recent study by Mr. Ber

I so totally agree there both freaks, its horrible pictures Angie looks as they would say fugly. What did she do to her face. There both insane people bringing up these beautiful children OMG. Everything out of her mouth is insane oh and please don’t accuse me of liking Jen b/c she don’t thrill me either. Brad is a follower something is wrong with him also Jane Pitt start speaking to your son just maybe he can be saved!!!!

I just don´t understand what they want to accomplish with these photographs?

Are they not the ones who always wanted to keep their “private” life to themselves?

Then why the hell (if not for narcistic reasons) would they publish these pictures? Shots of themselves I would understand—–but why the children?

They don´t even have a say in this (they just don´t know any better), they´re just being exposed —————and for what reason?

Again, one can only assume that all the attention is truly getting to them.

From the W Magazine
November 2008

Brad Pitt’s project for W actually sprang from a conversation W’s Creative Director Dennis Freedman had with another photographer, Bruce Weber. Freedman had been mulling over how to show anything new about one of the most photographed women in the world and Weber pointed out that, in his opinion, the best pictures of Elizabeth Taylor were taken by her third husband, Mike Todd.

“I was surprised that Brad accepted the challenge,” says Freedman of Pitt’s enthusiastic response. “Last time we collaborated, I was struck by his sensitivity to the subtleties of photography. I knew that he possessed a highly tuned critical eye and would be very demanding of himself. Still, I wasn’t prepared for the beauty and intimacy of the images he made of Angelina and the children.”

The photos are beautiful and tastefuul done.Anyone know were I can get W in the UK.Its a must have for fans.

Mary - actually, your way of thinking is quite illogical here.

The point that you are missing is that the Jolie-Pitt are showing you the REAL JOLIE PITT….not the media’s version of Jolie-Pitt.

Given the kind of lies and wrong image projected out there through the media, it is quick an effective thing for them to do…..

cause this Jolie-Pitt that you are seeing is 10000% different than the one you read in the tabloids.

In the end, the only fool is the one who was gullible and stupid to pony out money at the checkout when in fact, they could me reading this REAL JOLIE-PITT straight from the hosrse-mouth so to speak.

The laugh is on you and the tabloids. Certainly NOT Jolie-Pitt or their fans who knew the real THEM…

ha bdj you are the one who is making it seem like Angelna is overexposed with your fantastic daily rundown of articles. keep it coming.

Angelina and family have only been in the media 3 times in recent months: the People/Hello magazine covers of the twins birth, Changeling’ premiere and assorted events/interviews related to it and this W magazine cover spread. that’s it!!!!!!!!!! hardly overexposure. The Today show interview will most likely be about Changeling. Brad will be up next with his highly anticipated new film and assorted media attached to it. LOL Sorry haters! These two are in demand working actors in their profession.

later…….

the real lou @ 10/13/2008 at 11:48 am

For all of you people claiming you are “sick” of the Jolie-Pitt’s,stop clicking on the damn thread.DUH!

Thanks Jared for the new thread.Can’t wait to get this magazine in the mail.(but I’m still going to buy a extra copy,lol)I just loved the back-story of how Brad came to be the photographer for the shoot.

On and mary, would you sit down while someone who does not KNOW you like Roseanne Barr open her twat and say something about you….

Well, Jolie told her and you what she thinks of her in this magazine. And that is great of her.

I swear some of you people are so hypocritical it’s not even funny. You rip other celebs apart but when one of the Jolie-Pitt broods does something its ooh and awe. The fact is it is irresponsible for those children to have knives and guns. But will anything be done about it NO because they are who they are. But if it thats was me children service would be beating my door down.

Mary @ 10/13/2008 at 11:39 am

As far as I know their singular complaint is the way the paps ‘crowd’ the children and Angie has even suggested that they could use long lens which would be just as effective for the paps (after all THEY certainly aren’t after any art shots). So stop your transparent whining, Mary!

The truth is out there somewhere and it is not all Tab bull. The troll likes to come running to Just Jared with its negative slant and Tabloid BS. If they live on Just Jared, then they will get “over-exposed” with positive articles. My bad!!!!

Brad Pitt’s project for W actually sprang from a conversation W’s Creative Director Dennis Freedman had with another photographer, Bruce Weber. Freedman had been mulling over how to show anything new about one of the most photographed women in the world and Weber pointed out that, in his opinion, the best pictures of Elizabeth Taylor were taken by her third husband, Mike Todd.

“I was surprised that Brad accepted the challenge,” says Freedman of Pitt’s enthusiastic response. “Last time we collaborated, I was struck by his sensitivity to the subtleties of photography. I knew that he possessed a highly tuned critical eye and would be very demanding of himself. Still, I wasn’t prepared for the beauty and intimacy of the images he made of Angelina and the children.”

I love how much attention and detail he seem to put into everything about this spread. Not just the photos themselves but what type of film he wanted to use. I wonder if he puts that type of attention in everything? Is it hot in here?

This article has been posted already but here is my response again.

You do realize that States have these incentives plans to lure Hollywood and movie production to their particular states. Benjamin Button movie filmed for 6 months in New Orleans and generate revenue and income. However, if some states are bothered by their own plans, then they need to revise it. Benjamin Button is a high profile movie with two major production companies. BP is merely the star of the movie, out of many actors. Are you going to blame Cate Blanchette also. Perhaps you should channel your Perez Hilton, NY times article and the other excerpts that the Female First campaigned to send to the media, to the proper authories and movie production houses.

jane was there when the pictures were taken looking after the twins.I enjoy your pain.Thank you for clicking on the link tina,Brad and Angelina knew people like you would be the first to click and make the cover popular.tina we all know you like jen why else would you be here.

Mary @ 10/13/2008 at 11:39 am How can anyone here complain that the media exploits this couple when they choose to exploit themselves?…

_________________________

Mary, you are a hypocrit.

…Anyone seriously against participating or encouraging the ‘exploitation’ that you claim the Jolie-Pitts are demonstrating would not be seeking out information about them or COMMENTING ON BLOGS AS OFTEN AS YOU HAVE!…

…Brad and Angie have EVERY RIGHT to comment on the ANAMALISTIC tendencies of paparrazzi’s scaring children, stalking out schools, and trespassing on private property!…

…If Brad and Angie decide to take photos of their family…IN A SETTING OF THEIR CHOICE so the fans can enjoy a glimpse of their life, its NO DIFFERENT THAN WHEN OTHER STARS LIKE PAUL NEWMAN AND HIS WIFE DID IT!!!!!

…If you think papparrazzi have the right to exploit celebrities and chase them down in cars the way they did to Princess Diana, just so they can make a buck….you’re really sick.

Jill @ 10/13/2008 at 11:13 am
who the hell hates.. Its my opinion there sickos and always will be..no jealousy just crazy ass people!!!!! I feel so sorry for those beautiful children.. Jane Pitt help your son before its to late!!! and Please don’t tell me angie is gorgeous in these pictures she looks horrible skinny her arms her legs she looks anorexic even on the red carpet if she is sick my prayers are with her..

The pics are so beautiful. Brad is a great photographer. I can’t wait for W magazine.

black we know you wouldn’t understand why not wait for the photo shot done at the beach you’ll understand that one better.

Angelina said the paps can take photos from afar.She doesn’t care what the paps do as long as they dont come near the kids.

She is beautiful. Not too sure on the dagger thing though!

Since you are overly concerned for the paps right to stalk kids in camflouged clothes on private property..

Methinks you are the female pap assistant who was in a camoflouged cloths at the French Chateaus this summer hiding and …hoping…just hoping …that you will get a picture of the twins.

Then you can pay your student loans, car loan, tummy tuck, botox, chin shrinkage, rhinoplasty and dentures/bridges/crowns

injecting heroin will not work. Has not worked since she is so fertile to the point of having twins(NOT PREMATURE ONES as TYPICAL OF HEROIN ADDICTS…if they get to term) when she does not have one in her family background.

If she was shooting heroin all this time and successfully had 3 babies all with good weight and not premature at all, heck, someone need to post an 1-800 number so that all heroin addicts can all Jolie and find out how to have them babies…perfectly…dotcha think, ade?

her name is ade…

no point responding to the hater really, having to live with herself 24/7 seems punishment enough in my opinion. lmao anyone who spews such hatred must not like herself very much to begin with.

that said, these pics are truly lovely. i see them as works of art. brad did a wonderful job. they also bring to mind an interview he did lifetimes ago when he was with jennifer, the interviewer noted that when she went to their home, she noticed jennifer had hung pics of herself all over their house. and i couldn’t help but chuckle. angie would never do that.

Listen…

I have seen your username on this site for like several years….meaning you have seen it all….the tabloids lies which believe it or not, some actually believe…then you should know why they did this cover.

This is their way to present who they are to the world. Not according to outtacha. us weaklies, star etc.

Brad is showing you his woman through his eyes - meaning, he sees not as the witch, sex crazy and wild woman as the tabloids potrays her but as her love, mother of his children and is decent woman.

Anyone who subcribe to the heroin addict, wild, crazy witch image of Jolie in the tabloids WILL NOT LIKE THESE PICTURES.

Ade @ 10/13/2008 at 12:04 pm

- Teach him how to change lifeless dark hair to BIMBO BLONDE.

- Teach him how she ran off FIVE prospective sperm donors in 3yrs.

- Teach him she injects botox & hormones while smoking a doubie…(her galpal Courtney already admitted to botox injections).

the HELL?

how can she be working for the UN and refugees, who are victimized by violence and war,

but she continues to be in action movies that glamorize gratuitous violence like WANTED and encourages her children to wield weapons??

One or the other, angie.

Personally, i think she’s trying to be edgy but SOOOO unaware of her own hypocrisy.

BB whenever I can. :)

anybody wanna answer my question instead of calling me a troll?

Holy moly could she be any more annoying? The ludicrously staged photos- oh yes when I was nursing my babies I was in full slap all the time. Why the only time I took of my make up was to go incognito to the knife shop for the gift that keeps on giving. What kind of insufferable narcissist wants the whole world to see their ‘private’ moments? What sort of idiots do they think we are that these are natural? I’ve seen less make up on a 50 year old drag queen. Buying knives of any kid is unbelievably stupid (and illegal in the UK- you have to be 16 to buy any kind of knife, even a kitchen one) but for a war orphan? I meant there’s ‘botox your kids feet’ stupid and there is criminally selfish unfit parent stupid. She is a basket case and he is a nutless fop who is acting out his long held fantasy of being edgy. Ohh I’m an artist! I’ve got multi ethnic kids! I’m so potent even anorexics fall pregnant at my slightest touch in the red carpet! I’m a photographer and my ‘kids’ have knives cos we’re so ******* edgy! I know Bono and I’ve done it with a girl. Give it up the pair of you, you are making me tired.

Oh, gawd, now the crud have swooped down like the vultures they are; Angie said the word ‘dagger’ and they are like predators diving into a corpse. Raw meat for the azz ho…s. If you read the whole thing you would have also read that Angie had a dagger collection as a kid. Such faux concern for the safety of her children; like she would ever risk harming one of her kids……….

juju @ 10/13/2008 at 12:05 pm
I’m obsessed I read you comments all the time and I’m never on these website look it up I usually just read the comments and laugh to myself with you Jen Angie and brad its quite funny the things you people come out with.. I give my opinion sometimes and i can like you.
Brad wants to keep his children private he says over and over again there the busiest stars I know.

what is the point of giving a child a knife? not a vulture just sincerely confused.

How many moms here would buy a knife for their kids to play with?

All vote Aye?

http://dlisted.com/node/28730#comments

Just look at the 6th picture in the W gallery:

http://www.wmagazine.com/images/flash/celebrities/rotating/2008/11/flash_angelina_06.jpg

and then try to convince me that she isn’t just plain bat-shіt-crázy and that Brad hasn’t lost whatever mind he ever had.

i would much rather see pics that have been relised by celebs of their kids then see pap pics of babies scaried.

Who lets a 7 year old play with knives?? And here I thought her weirdo days were behind her.

well.......... @ 10/13/2008 at 12:51 pm

Helga @ 10/13/2008 at 12:44 pm

I’m sorry that your family never took silly pictures. I’m sorry that your are so insecure that you feel afraid of looking silly to others.

andamentothat @ 10/13/2008 at 12:59 pm

is ange wearing the same nightie as in the people cover in the pic with Maddox..

Looks like daggergate got to people ..read what she says, she has explained the concept of good vs evil and the whole samurai explanation. The kids are well aware of their ethnicity and have been to conditions of abject poverty, she is making them aware of guns, daggers, knives and how it is to be used .. for the good only.

Some of these topics are so controversial and thats why we get people up in arms.. (no pun), its easier to tell your kids to not engage in guns/knives etc than to teach them the whole pros vs cons thing.. She is definitely taking the tougher route and teaching them. Did most of u watch Kungfu Panda? that had violence but was the no 1 movie in america and is doing well worldwide. Do you think people are questioning if Jack Black’s kids are into violence?

and to whoever asked if she can talk about guns film wanted and still work for the UN… YES absolutely.. You dont have to play Eliza dolittle to get a chance to work at the UN.

I just want to know how many people who love her are also Pro-daggers for little children? Why come nobody can answer that?

passing Through @ 10/13/2008 at 1:01 pm

At least now I can see the photos properly. Those screencaps I saw sucked. It’s too bad they didn’t include the photo of Z in Angie’s heels, though. That one was megacute. Hopefully the mag will be in my local grocery store that gets new mags on Thursday…otherwise I’ll have to haunt B&N because my local Wal-marts don’t carry W.

Fans:

Don’t bother with the trolls and the haters. Angie and Brad do not need anyone to defend them. They are living their lives as they see fit and are raising their children with good values. Lets just enjoy the beautiful photographs, I am waiting to get the copy of the magazine to read the article.

States’ Film Production Incentives Cause Jitters
By MICHAEL CIEPLY

LOS ANGELES — Already on the hook for billions to bail out Wall Street, taxpayers are also finding themselves stuck with a growing tab for state programs intended to increase local film production.

Louisiana, one of the most assertive players in the subsidy game, wound up covering that outsize piece of the nearly $167 million budget of Mr. Pitt’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” — the state’s biggest movie payout to date — when producers for Paramount Pictures and Warner Brothers qualified the coming movie, a special-effects drama, under an incentive that has since been tightened.
One of the most shocking bills has come due in Louisiana, where residents are financing a hefty share of Brad Pitt’s next movie — $27,117,737, to be exact, which the producers will receive by cashing or selling off valuable tax credits.

Brad Pitt is obsessed with photography

Oct. 13, 2008 07:11 AM
Bang Showbiz

Brad Pitt is obsessed with photography.

The ‘Burn After Reading’ star - whose pictures of partner Angelina Jolie breastfeeding one of their twins feature in the upcoming issue of W magazine - can’t put his camera down, revealed Angelina.

She said: “I love his photography. Some people have a hobby and they find the quickest way into it and are very pleased with the outcome right away.

“But he’s someone who will really study the camera. He’ll get the most complicated one and really understand the science behind it.”

The ‘Wanted’ actress also says Brad strives to make his photographs perfect and is rarely completely happy with his work.

She added: “He’s very critical of his work. I’ll see a photograph and think it’s amazing but he’ll see all the different reasons why it can be better and he’ll work very, very hard to improve it.”

Brad, 44, recently revealed there will be nothing as important to him as Angelina and their six children, Maddox, seven, Pax, four, Zahara, three, Shiloh, two, and two-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

He said: “My family comes before everything else. No film will ever take precedence or fill me with the kind of joy I have as a father and partner.”

______________________

I’am.
Have you read what Angelina said? Let me repost it for you:

And I’ve already bought Maddox some things. We take him to a special shop.” She emphasizes that the knife blades are dulled so they’re not dangerous, and that the purchases are accompanied by discussions about violence. But, she says, “we also talk about samurais and about the idea of defending someone as good. We talk about everything.”

But you don’t care do you? You just something to through at Angelina. What do you acomplish with that? Does that make you feel better? You people are sick.

Oh, yes, I said it! @ 10/13/2008 at 1:08 pm

Rabid deranged hens.

Oh, yes I said it………….Oh, aren’t you just a sampling of outraged purity??? Go march for something.

whomever linked daggers to the UN is living a very very sanitized life.
Too much bleach in that person’s life.

that is all I am going to say about that.

Angelina Jolie remains the world’s most disarmingly candid superstar. At the premiere of Changeling, Clint Eastwood’s 1920s L.A.-set drama, the actress freely told reporters the secret to her svelte post-twins figure. First she claimed it was, “This dress!” Then she admitted, “I’m breast-feeding.” (No wonder Brad Pitt draped himself all over her.) Angie’s uncensored energy seemed to inject truth serum into stars all over Gotham. Actress Radha Mitchell confessed to Googling herself regularly: “Obviously I’ve done that,” she laughed at Tropfest New York. “YouTube too.” Meanwhile, at Soho House, master oversharer Toby Young jumped on a table to thank his frenemies in the media for toasting the movie How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, based on his novel, which lays bare the purported foibles of Vanity Fair. Toby regaled listeners with tales of getting kicked off the set and likened himself to star Kirsten Dunst’s stalker. “It’s true!” she warbled from the crowd. Heaven knows what sins get buried in Hollywood. In New York, no one can keep a secret.

jenhos in pain.Angelina will do what she wants and she’s doing it.

never mind found the link……and thanks for the “help” guys….you ramble so much about “trolls” or haters that you lose sight of things…..its so sad.

would you like for me to pull all of you addicts up on Jens site. At least I’m honest If i think shes pretty I’ll say it If angie looks like sh*t I’ll say it same goes for Jen and I’ll stay where i like,
stop getting so upset over people opinions your do it don’t you??? grow up and take it!!! Stop getting so offensive….

Maybe Angie wanted to start ‘
Dagger….BAIT …..I think she likes to get the holier than thou’s wagging. It’s part of her bad ass charm……….it’s what makes Angie, Angie. She loves the unconventional wisdom role. That’s what I love about her. She ain’t a people pleaser, she is who she is. If the kids wanted a pet Rattle snake she’d find a way to make that happen as well. Her kids will be free and creative thinkers as is she.

where is this Zahara in heels picture!!!

I also hear that Angelina has no clue about Roseanne Barr’s comments. Shocking but also good to know because it means that she is living her life as she please and won’t let anyone bother her.

Angelina - you go girl. Do you own thing even if it goes contrary to the norm.

Lastly, there are children who are told never to touch knives… as per those criticizing her here..but end up murders, thieves etc etc.
Human beings are alot more complex than that.

andamentothat @ 10/13/2008 at 1:21 pm

Cant believe pix of breastfeeding, talk about daggers has bloggers all riled up.. Read the whole article before you make a comment so you dont appear ignorant. People in the Outback regularly train their kids to be arms savvy so they can learn to defend.. The use of boomerang is also not a myth, its real. If you read her article, they run into some folks who are armed because they are boar hunting.. u think Maddox or Pax havent asked what they are up to?

If this is a tough topic, why dont you just get a past issue of People where Jloshows off her twins in their mansion (cash from pix were put in kids accounts not charity) and go all ooh-la-la over the pink and blue..

Oh, yes, I said it! @ 10/13/2008 at 1:10 pm

tina your mother needs to teach you some manner,what type of a mother is she?dont bother we can see it through you.

Jared, what are you moderating…..nothing in my comment requiring that.

Way to go andamentothat!

I swear, you can spot the narrow-minded, the too sanitized lifestyle, the don’t think outside the box, the too fearful, the don’t take risks in life, the bland, the boring posters on here.

Anyone who thinks outside their *norm* is weird/strange/different/crazy.

Actually, like Clint Eastwood said, Angelina threaten people because she is not narrow-minded, does think outside the box, takes risks in life, is open, honest et al….

Best quote from Wmagazine @ 10/13/2008 at 1:27 pm

Asked what she thought this summer of Roseanne Barr’s much circulated Internet screed about Pitt and her-an incendiary rant that mocked, among other things, the couple’s habit of earning tens of millions of dollars from violent action movies and then giving away a portion of it to convince the world that they care about humanity-Jolie appears to have no idea what I’m talking about. Told the details, she responds with a direct gaze, a calm smile and silence. Doesn’t it make her angry?

“No,” she says. “I mean, how should someone respond to something like that? She doesn’t know me. I have nothing to defend in my life. I’m sure she’s one of many people that have opinions.”

#148 the real lou:
ouch that hurt real bad - so you´re not talking to me anymore? *fakecrying*

dude….stop beeing a baby and join people in an adult discussion - oh wait i forgot that we are on JJ here.so the list is stupid, then why bring it up in the first place?

and to those who are bursting a vein asking abt daggers and kids.. dont you ever dress a kid as a pirate for Halloween? Pirates carry daggers too..

Pirates are not fun people, read about the ones in the Somali coast..

Do u think we should stop our love for Johnny Depp coz he has been Jack Sparrow for how long.. such a bad role model.. carrying daggers and not even practicing good dental hygiene..

she looks so much like her mother in this photo. i really admire how she’s turned her life around these past several years, from silly vials of blood antics to helping change the world for the better, she’s pretty much transformed from being a novelty to an inspiration to millions. i admire her for her. NOT like the way others do when they start comparing her to other celebrities and enumerate how much better they think she is. what matters most is that in essence, she’s a positive contributor to our world.

“People have called me a liar or bad. Fortunately, I was raised by a mom who loved me so much and made me comfortable with myself. I’m not a liar. I know I’m a decent person. I can go to bed at night knowing that I’m all right no matter what anybody says about me.”

this and the quote #152 are my absolute favorites…..many of the fanaticals on here could learn something reading this.

that was the most perfect response Angelina could give. really gorgeous, i applaude her for that.

anydaynow @ 10/13/2008 at 1:39 pm

Gorgeous, gorgeous pics! :D I can’t wait to get my hands on that magazine. If they’re smart, they would print extra copies, I would be in a fit if the copies are sold out before I can get one.

How soon before Aniston rears her ugly chin and bikini a-$-$ again? Or did her publicist grow a brain and advised her to just stay home — forever?

tina who cares what you think your mother doesn’t either otherwise you’ll respect others who like the pics.We like the pics,grow up and take it.stop getting so offensive

TINA LIKES JEN @ 10/13/2008 at 12:14 pm
First of all I’m not losing mind, its my opinion as I respect your opinion you don’t have to fend for angie and brad like they really care. One more thing my mom did a wonderful job with me don’t you ever bring up my beautiful mother you understand my mom had died 20 yrs ago at a young age and don’t even say thats why, someone i loved so dearly if you have your mom still with you, you would understand. I don’t know why you get so hyped up over people we truly don’t know. I don’t think brad did a good job doesn’t mean i hate them I think Angie’s should really keep some things personal, I think shes crazy with some things she comes out with.

Hollywood Royalty @ 10/13/2008 at 1:59 pm

Thank you Mr Bradley Pitt now we have more photos of your stunning woman,other half,GREAT love.We hear you Brad.I’m so happy she has Brad.

She looks beautiful as always…. what a beautiful and sexy mother…

Here she is… a beautiful and sexy mom…..

LOL @ some of these haters and there ‘concern’ over a dull blade dagger. I’m going to go out on limb and say neither Jolie or Pitt let Maddox run up and down the hallways of their home at sprinter speeds humming the theme from Mission Impossible with it…it’s probably in a box, on a shelf, in one of their homes (probably Los Feliz). Stop trying to make it bigger than it needs to be.

And as savvy as she is, she knew full well what mentioning this bit of information would do to those nervous nellies and those issuing fake uproar. You will always find something to be upset about as it pertains to her or them. She (and Brad) obviously don’t care and that’s one of the things that makes me like her/them LOL

catherine @ 10/13/2008 at 2:09 pm

These photos are beautiful, stunningly beautiful. Brad is amazingly talented.

Some of those pics are beautiful.
Beauiful family.

This is so weird for me to hear people complaining about people collecting guns and knives. My grandfather has a collection of guns of all types on the wall in their den and when people comes over he talks about it and now my brothers collects knives and all types of hands guns, and none of these guns have ever been used , just decorations on the wall. I am a bit surprise to hear people complaining because this is so American. I was brought up in Louisiana and everybody I knew had guns and knives at home and really none of the children ever bother them because you would get into big trouble. My mom and dad went to work and those guns were never messed with. It was about 11 of them going way back to the civil war days. My grandfather also had a favorite knife that he used to eat apples, hickory nut, Coconut for christmas and made his own toothpicks from a special tree limb. I am sure Angelina and Brad fits in well in the South because everything you people dislike about what she does with her kids people do it there and it is not a big deal and that why I so identify with these two people because they are for real and let you know who they are. I cannot wait for this W Magazine to come out. Brad/Angie stay true to yourselves…PEACE

Ok I said I wouldn’t look at the pictures until I got the magazine but I looked, lol. They’re beautiful. I love the one with Shiloh and Pax, with Maddox cracking up, and the one of her carrying Knox (I think it’s Knox, Viv had more and darker hair). And the one where she’s making the fish lips reminds me of a 1930s silent movie star, I have no idea why. She has a beautiful face and Brad captured it very well. Great pictures.

take your own advice @ 10/13/2008 at 2:18 pm

stop insulting Angelina’s mum who died,if she says she learned from her mother who bought her a knife,why does it bother you that she’s following the woman she respected and loved.When are you going to take your own advice and let Angelina talk about whatever she wants.Who are you to call her crazy.I see now why you dont have guidance in yor life.I hope you find happiness and learn not to judge people.You need to find peace.How many time are you going to say the same thing over and over again,it is no longer about you posting an opinion and you know it.

not again @ 10/13/2008 at 2:19 pm

I think haters try to find all negatives. I think the woman is honest and she has nothing to hide. Items collected are not for violence according to her. They are part of some collectibles. I think she said the boy is collecting aeroplanes too as toys.

# 58 Mary @ 10/13/2008 at 11:39 am How can anyone here complain that the media exploits this couple when they choose to exploit themselves? These moments with their children are PRIVATE and should be kept so. Why even feel the inclination to share these pics with the public unless you enjoy the publicity that comes along with it? Hypocritical much of them? And don’t even attempt to justify it with the excuses that they are proud and want to share their life with the world or that Brad is an artist and blah, blah, blah…All I can say is don’t keep expressing in interviews how the media is invasive and disturbs your life when you do the same thing to yourself in this magazine…they are as guilty of keeping the media interest on them as the papz and press…
++++++++++++++++
What I complain about is the fact that every single time Angelina and Brad are out of the public eye the press makes up, out of whole cloth, stories.

They are always splitting up, Angie is always kicking Brad out, no…wait, Angie is mad at Brad for leaving…and on and on…

There is a difference between going out and knowing your picture will be taken, sharing pictures, giving interviews and having people show up at your kids preschool or having people parked on your property wearing camis and using port-a-potties.

The press does this because they sell magazines. Period. If Angelina and Brad are not talking to them, then all rags start the crap.

THANK YOU JARED!!!!!!!!!!!!, finally got a chance to see all the beautiful pitures, I can’t wait to get my W magazine next week.

IMHO- I love this interview, it’s candid, straight forward and with all the beautiful pictures as a bonus……Yeah!!!!!!!!!!.

As for keep her personal things personal, well, people are ready to believe her tumy tuck story, or her depression story or her and Brad are over story from the tabloids, why not dispelled all the so called “insider” information from tabloid made up stories by being personal? She’s a genius!!!!!!!!

Great photos, maybe they don’t need professional photo shoots in the future for the family! We are living in the 21st century and this family is avant-garde. Angie is raising their children the way her own mother reared her, lucky children!
The article in W magazine was very good but the pictures reveal even more. Looking forward to get a copy!
May God bless the Jolie-Pitt family with much fun, joy, love and happiness!

I am respecting others I haven’t said a word of what you think.
You know my daughter just this second called me shes at the store they have t-shirts one said don’t hit your children they shoot you. In todays world its sad to say but thats how it is. Don’t you read the papers of the violence in this world somethings Angelina should keep to herself a lot of people worship everything she says and she knows that shes most admired woman right? Oh please you must know things have changed certain things should never be brought up and I’m not making to much out of this. Angelina is very smart with this one she should have thought first….

Brad use to collect swords. He talked about it in old interview around the GP days. He also gave our hand craved knifes as gifts to the crew of AOJJ. It seems both parents respect and enjoy knifes. So it seems they want to teach their kids to respect and enjoy them also.

Now would I collect them? No but then again I would not collect or have my child collect Beanie babies either.
.

I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos. I am so glad we got a new NON POLITICAL thread.

Original jpf @ 10/13/2008 at 2:27 pm

I am beyond in love with this W. I think it will be my altime fav of them all. I love the pursed lip pic, the floppy hat and baby pic, and the one with she and Mad laughing the most “so far.” I’m from a family were guns, knives, archery are the norm. I shot my first gun at 10 that I remember and hated it, but the more I learned, and the more I respected the power, the more I liked them. I’m a military kid (family), and although I’m not fond of how guns have become so politicized (I despise the NRA), I have no intentions of not having them and knives. As long as children are educated about every aspect of them, and how serious it is to have them, I’m not having a problem. I love how Angelina & Brad invest the time in teaching their kids about those things now. To many kids end up learning things from their friends, and thats when _hit happens that could have been prevented.

————————————@@@@——–94 ——94—-94—-94

First of all, I must say I´m really glad that you´re not namecalling me (as alot of people would, and do).

Secondly—–as you´ve said, YES, I´ve been here for ages and of course seen ALL of it.

——————BUT——————-I have NEVER been one of those people to believe the crazy stuff the mags like to state as truth. You say you´ve seen my name from time to time? Then you´ll notice, that I have never left a negative messege regarding their relationship or devotion for each other.

Even though I´m really shaking my head at alot of “Brangelinas” latest actions, I still have no doubt that these two are meant for each other.

I have always believed so (hell, six months before they started shoting Mr. and Mrs. Smith I knew that they would make a great couple), and certainly never paid any attention to those rumours (”Can Brad take it?, “How long will they last?”, “Breakdown, depression…..”———-I´m sure you heard them all).

I really understand where you are comming from—-but my biggest concern here are the children, and the way they are being exposed. It´s simply not right.

Why would they even feel the need to prove how happy they are? Just let those mags talk.

Brad and Angie should just carry on, play with the children and life their lifes. That way people would still see how strong their relationship really is.

(A bit off topic——would you tell me what name you use here?)

Original jpf @ 10/13/2008 at 2:34 pm

btw, I don’t shoot at animals and never have. I’m target, skeet, inanimate object shooter only. Knifes are soley for the asthetic and history (unless I end up on a deserted island of course and need to cut a coconut up lol)

these are beautiful pics…..Brad has so much talent. the one with Madd is really cute, my fav. the breastfeeding pic is even more beautiful as on the cover, theres more space on the pic. they´re not as private as i thought they would be, but i am curious about the others we have not seen yet.

Angelina is just giving an interview to promote her lastest film and doing it has she always done. The idea of the shoot was from the editor of the magazines and it was a brilllant idea.

As for them “exposing” their children. Please… you see less of their kids than most of other kids in HW. At least this way they controle how their kids appear.

# 176 take your own advice @ 10/13/2008 at 2:25 pm
Take your own advice you shouldn’t worship people you don’t know and OMG you’ll kiss the grounds they walk on only my children and family make me happy.. I’m happy you think Angie and Brad are great I don’t in this article nor like her looks and i actually think shes a beauty but not here…so get over it…so enjoy your moment I don’t care what you think nor anyone else…

good comment!!!!
i got yelled at for saying that i don´t think the exposure of the kids is good IMO. now i just say “beautiful” (what they are) and thats it…..some people have difficulties accepting other opinions, especially on here, don´t worry.

From USA Weekend: Big Year-End Movie Preview

22 things you don’t know about the season’s biggest movies
By Jamie Malanowski
There was a time when our end-of-the-year movie preview covered the films that debuted over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now it has been stretched to include Veterans Day, Arbor Day, Halloween, Columbus Day, Be Bald and Be Free Day and World Menopause Day. Why? Because even if you don’t need an excuse to see a movie, it never hurts to have one. Here is a behind-the-scenes peek at some of the most talked about films opening between now and 2009.

Changeling (Oct. 24)
“Everyone tries to be professional on a movie, but sometimes [when you're working with big stars] your inner fan escapes,” says Amy Ryan. This happened when the actress was shooting a fight scene for the Clint Eastwood-directed thriller set in the 1920s. Eastwood yelled “Cut!” in the middle of the scene, Ryan says, “and he came over and began instructing me on how to fight. And I thought, ‘How cool is this? I’m being taught how to throw a punch by Dirty Harry!’ I admit it, I was star-struck.”

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Dec. 25)
It never hurts to be nice. In this film based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald story about a man (Brad Pitt) who ages in reverse, the character’s house has a special significance. Producer Cean Chaffin recalls that after fruitless searches for a suitable home, director David Fincher spotted the perfect home in New Orleans’ French Quarter. “We weren’t optimistic about getting permission,” Chaffin says. “The family that owned the house had occupied it since 1881 and had never allowed filming.” Fortunately, the matriarch had been given a screen test by [the studio behind Curious Case] as a young woman. She fondly recalled how nice everyone had been to her, and this opened the door.

Seems like it—————and —————-JuJu——I don´t know what you´re trying to say…

# 111 lizzleb @ 10/13/2008 at 12:44 pm what is the point of giving a child a knife? not a vulture just sincerely confused.

How many moms here would buy a knife for their kids to play with?

All vote Aye?

+++++++++++
Most chidren who are in scouting or go have knives. Swiss Army knives or Pocket knives. They are taught by responsible adults how to use them.

Those can be just as deadly as a dagger. How about fire crackers? Parents give those to their kids on the 4th of July. Those can be deadly too if unsupervised. (Even sparklers can be a fire hazard) Trick or Treating? OMG!!!!
What about riding your bike without knee pads and a helmut? Pretty dangerous (although when I was a kid they did not have them).

My point is this. ANYTHING can be dangerous if the child is left unsupervised which these children are not.

This just has everyone’s knickers in a twist because they were waiting to have something to complain about!

Good morning to all of the BAMPZSKV fans around the world. I sincerely hope you had a nice weekend. Hi to guli. I hope you are taking care of yourself. Neleh, you weren’t around yesterday. Are you alright. Senior, it is 76th and Broadway. I think I forgot the Broadway. Hi irma. first and last post, thank you for your kind comments. And a really big wishing everyone a great day.

It is truly sad when people do not read the entire article, or only read what they want to see. First of all Brad was approached to do the shoot for W. They came to him. And Angie agreed. Collecting something and using it as a weapon are two different things.

These people have been out of sight since May so how are they over exposing themselves. D*mn we see Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes, J Lopez, Halle Berry and other darn near everyday. Are they not overexposed? Oh and x. Whenever she is seen she is overexposed.

Who has ever revealed more about herself than Oprah? People hide things when they are ashamed of themselves and what has happened to them. The things Angie reveals are only made a big deal because the press and media doesn’t have anything else to say about her.

How many times has she said that after meeting Brad she wanted to have children? Yet the medai acts as though this is the first time she has said it. Brad and Angie don’t create the news. The live their lives and do their jobs. The media creates the news. They need stories to sell, real or made up.

Notice there wasn’t much news about Brad and makeitright last week. bdj found some. But wasn’t as bigh as the breastfeeding news. That doesn’t excite as much as a picture of Angie feeding a twin.

Trolls are too serious. Laugh you live longer. Peace

It’s often been observed, rightly or wrongly, that Jolie has completely changed Pitt, transforming the Sexiest Man Alive into a tireless international do-gooder in her own image. She says Pitt has profoundly changed her. When asked for specifics, she lets out a rare bashful laugh and, before answering, points out that she hasn’t necessarily discussed them with Pitt himself.

Oh now I see why she tried to make it seem like he changed her . I see she only came up with ONE thing.

I totally love her for being able to change that white bread into her own image. who else could do that? Only the Jolie.

take your own advice @ 10/13/2008 at 2:57 pm

Tina
Angelina’s mistakes are the thuing that made me a fan.To read about her and to see the way she worked her way up is inspiring.So I dont worship the ground she walks on I just love her honesty and I love that she bought Maddox a knife.Why because it led to her teaching him whats right and whats wrong.I respect,respect,respect her more and more everyday.The picture are beutiful,tasteful and I cant wait to buy a copy.

Angelina Jolie is pretty as a picture in W

By JO PIAZZA

Monday, October 13th 2008, 1:42 PM

If there was any doubt that Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful woman on the planet, the intimate candid shots taken of her by partner Brad Pitt that appear this month in W magazine clear that right up.

The “Changeling” actress looks just as gorgeous as she does on a red carpet in the unposed photos Pitt took in their home in the South of France.

In one picture Angelina is relaxing with daughter Shiloh, 2, and her adopted son Pax, 4. In another she is carrying one of her newborn twins in a snuggly and in yet another (which ended up on the cover of the glossy) she is breast-feeding one of the babies.

She even looks spectacular about to devour a burger.

The celebrity pair invited a journalist from the mag into their rented chateau where Angie revealed some of the more personal details about raising a brood of six.

Jolie says their seven-year-old son, Maddox has lately developed a fondness for guns and knives, and Jolie proudly noted that the predilection runs in the family. “My mom took me to buy my first daggers when I was 11 or 12,” she recalls.

“And I’ve already bought Maddox some things. We take him to a special shop.” She emphasizes that the knife blades are dulled so they’re not dangerous, and that the purchases are accompanied by discussions about violence. But, she says, “we also talk about samurais and about the idea of defending someone as good. We talk about everything.”

She says that recently giving birth to twins Knox and Vivienne has been exhausting so for the first time, the couple has brought in overnight help so that they can have some personal time. And the kids are good about respecting the couple’s privacy.

“The kids do knock before entering,” she says. “We’ve at least got that part down. Because Mommy and Daddy need some space.”

See whats the problem if you respect that thats fine. I agree some of the pics are nice not all of them. so why am i not entitled to say things that I feel. I’m not even arguing with you, you started with me for no reason. I’m happy for angie and brad but don’t agree with everything can’t you respect what i think. I didn’t ask you for an answer of what i write.
I have the freedom to write what i want to as you do ok so i don’t want to argue with anyone isn’t there enough of that on these sights it gets to vicious.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh @ 10/13/2008 at 3:18 pm

Then follows thier PR statement on how htey value thier privacy..Adulterating hypocrites!!!

Wow!. Thank you Jared for the new thread and link to W magazine.

I thoroughly enjoyed the article as I do with all her interviews. I love her frankness and honesty, even if she does it at the risk of being criticized. She’s on a public journey of self-discovery and she’s unafraid of letting people know what she’s learned along the way. People can spout as much hate towards this woman as they want, but it won’t defeat or diminish her. She’s a woman of great strength, and that’s why I admire her so much.

I can’t wait to get my issue of W to see the rest of the photos. Angie sure loves doing the fish face. She did the same in AMH when Danny was taking a photo of her on the boat. LOL!

Waves and best wishes to the JP fans! :) :)

TO: first-and-last-post @ 10/13/2008 at 3:21 pm

I think you may find this article right up your street:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/carl-bernstein/ayers-and-the-mccain-g-go_b_134256.html

Here’s a juicy little tidbit from the article:

Does John McCain “pal around with terrorists?”
Certainly McCain’s continuing “association” and relationship with the convicted Watergate burglar and domestic terrorist G. Gordon Liddy might suggest that is the case, if we are to apply the standards drawn by the McCain campaign.

During the same period that Bill Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground, Gordon Liddy was making plans to firebomb a Washington think tank, assassinate a prominent journalist, undertake the Watergate burglary, break into the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist, and kidnap anti-war protesters at the 1972 Republican convention.

So what’s the moral of the story, my dear first-and-last-post? Why, i do believe its: people who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones”.

#196
“X” is doing alot of good, for example spending alot of time, thought and money on the battle against cancer (yes, the illness Angelinas Mom died off, may she Rest in Peace). you just ignore it because you don´t want to know.
—————————————————————————————–
about Angelina beeing the most beautiful woman on the planet. ok i know the press often exaggerates……but i have to disagree. she is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, no contest. personally i think that Jessica Albe is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood. as for the planet, i don´t know i haven´t seen all of the women yet…lol
my two cents on the article above.
i think the pic where she eats the burger is to make fun of all the anorexic rumors spread by tabloids…..the pics do have a message, very clever.

Breastfeeding is the best @ 10/13/2008 at 3:24 pm

If the cover encourages one person to breastfeed then its all worth it.Sick of watching mothers becoming anorexic because of following celebrity diet.Good cover and about time too.

She looks lovely in W Magazine, Brad is so in love with her, you can feel it.
People, is not too hard: we, her fans, want to know about her and her life.
If you are not a fan o dont want to know what she has to say, very simple, you don’t go to any site, blog, magazine that says ANGELINA JOLIE or BRAD PITT.
I don’t give a s h i t about Lindsay Lohan, Zac Efron, Katie Holmes, Tom Cruis, Jennifer Garner, etc , etc so I skip their threads even when they are always in the media.

Why is too hard to understand?

phoebe @ 10/13/2008 at 3:23 pm

You think Jessica alba is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood….

BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Really???

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Adorable pic! Can’t you just hear the little one saying, “Hi, Dad!” with its tiny hand waving. “Come back later; it’s dinnertime now!”

Phoebe I’m sure you tink Brad is the cats meow but he’s really cats butt. hahaha

Leo @ 10/13/2008 at 3:36 pm
Alba does not come close and no dis on Alba. She is pretty but so are a number of young starlets in Hollywerid. However, they do not have that something extraordinary that Jolie has. It is more than just external beauty but a daring, compassionate and in your face persona. Not the timid, insipid, worried about their own press actresses today in Hollyweird.

Phoebe, why don’t you go stare at old brad pitt pics and reminisce on how he used to be Hollywoods male Sweetheart and leave Badass jolie alone.
Don’t worry, she’ll dump your botoxed fantasy soon.

Hi AG,
I don’t think the reader is supposed to understand because if the poster really wanted to get their point across, it would be reasonable to assume that the poster would be intelligent enough to spell correctly, use proper grammar, adhere to common logic and a cognitive thought process…I suspect it’s a secret game only “insiders” can play…these incoherent posters could be talking to him/herself, it could be with imaginary friends, possibly like to like minds on parallel tracks who have similar agendas…but the key is they can only understand each other…shhh…it’s best to humor them so they don’t inflict harm to themselves.
Hi to dina#1 and to the ménage.

Brad jumps the ship again @ 10/13/2008 at 8:07

Geez what is with the troll hard-on for BP??. This film has scheduling, financing, and other problems. BP cannot wait for ever and Wahlberg cannot train forever. BP is filming IB and AJ will be filming the Salt film. Pencil in will ya.

I posted this link just before going to bed this morning and laughed just now when I saw that a troll had posted the story in an effort to make Brad look bad. If the idiot had bothered to read any of the comments on the site she’d have seen where many people were correcting the person who wrote the piece about issues regarding the financing, Brad having been ready to do the picture, even Aronofsky “bailed” by signing on for the Robocop project. And the idea that Brad bailed over money is stupid because how many movies has he done since he met Angie where he’s basically working for free? BAR, TAOJJ, TOL, Babel. He even walked away from a guaranteed $20MIL payday for State of Play. Meanwhile, Marky Mark put out that dud with M. Night Shyamalan and I’m sure that didn’t exactly engender a warm feeling at Paramount, who was supposed to finance the flick. Besides, as someone else pointed out at Slashfilms - do were REALLY need another boxing movie? I think not.

Nothing like a new thread on Angelina to bring you and the rest of the d-listed trash scurrying out from your garbage can hideaways like a bunch of roaches sniffing food.

Now, about the knife: when my son was in the Cub Scouts, part of his equipment was a scout knife. I bought him a scout knife. You want to report me and the other cub scout mothers to protective services?

Idiot.

now where can i see the other pics?
********************************************

Buy the magazine, cheapskate.

Love her interview!!! She’s so open and honest!!! This is who she is, flaws and all, and not afraid to tell the world. I know she’ll get flaks from the media about buying Maddox knives. But Angie and Brad know quite well what they’re doing, teaching kids moral values and safety!!!
Love all the pics so far!! Can’t wait to see the rest. Now the brood is in Berlin, I’m sure we won’t see their pics for a looong time. I predict, next time we’ll see them together probably promoting CCOBB which will be some time in December!!!!!!

I’ve no idea, unless she means she has seen some of us posting on the Aniston threads. I freely admit to posting on the Aniston threads. But I have no hatred for Aniston the way these trolls hate on the J-Ps. Aniston’s antics have provided me with a lot of laughs, and that’s why I post over there. You know what they say about automobile smash-ups: you know you shouldn’t look but you can’t help it.

Angelina has this special Charisma that makes her that gorgeous, she looks better with age. thats the difference between her and Alba at the moment, but nevertheless i like Alba more (as beauty is concerned). its a matter of taste.

@Leo: having difficulties accepting others opinions? what are you five years old? oh wait i don´t want to insult kids….

@bdj: you´ll be shocked, but i thank you for your input.

@ohh: i don´t have a clue what you´re talking about do you? actually i like Jolie more than Brad.

@an oldie: yup Phoebe is the character played by Lisa Kudrow in Friends.

=============
Keep dreaming, trip. :lol:

The people at dlisted and all the trolls on here love Angelina in that kind of love/hate way. They want to control what she says, who she’s with, and how she raises her children. Its a weird kind of psychosis. Anycrazy, I just love when Angelina has a new movie to promote and she talks about her kids or her work and they yell, she’s over exposed. When if they bother to read her articles, which I’m sure they do, they would see that she talks about the exact same thing in the exact same way every time.

The W article is similar to her interviews when she promoted Wanted, the only new information that I can see is about the twins. And even that is very superficial. What gets me about the trolls and other brain dead people in the media, they act like they get new information. When the fact of the matter is Angie has been saying the same things for almost four years now.

That should tell you how important she is that they would take the same things that she has been saying for years and reprint it like its new. Its funny as hell. That’s why I just look at the pictures now.

phoebe @ 10/13/2008 at 4:08 pm

Actually no, I don’t have a problem with differing opinions as long as it has some basis in fact.

Fact is, Alba is cute, however she is no way….and I mean no way the most beautiful. That was just beyond funny.

Phoebe, let me guess U R eating your ding dongs , stuffing your face with Mcd’s , drinking diet coke and wishing that you had leather face pitt. ick.

dear Jill #217:

btw…you have fun on the Jennifer Aniston threads how come you don´t understand them having the same fun here? there is always two sides of a medal.

I think Alba is certainly pretty but her personality is so ‘white bread’ that it is hard for me to say she is beautiful.

phoebe @ 10/13/2008 at 4:18 pm

Well cretin, since you’re here to have fun. We can have a little fun with you, being that you’ve parked your ass in our domain. I think I smell a sniveling rat. Are you my punching bag from the other day, or are you the new quarry.

dianad1968 @ 10/13/2008 at 4:28 pm

#178,

black, did you read the back story of how this shoot came about?. It was actually suggested by the magazine, and Brad jumped at the chance. It’s a romantic, revealing fun shoot. Take it as such. And as bdj mentioned earlier, Vanessa Paradis is extolling her and Johnny Depps “love”. Why can’t Angie do the same.

As for the contrived “uproar” over the “daggers and knives” mention, please. The reason so many kids use violence as an outlet, is because no one educate them about the pros and cons.

@ Leo:
its funny you still don´t get it. beauty has NOTHING to do with facts. its a matter of TASTE, if you don´t understand that then…well…no words….
I think Alba is more beautiful than Jolie. Jolie on the other hand has that special charisma which makes her extraordinary. YOU clearly have issues with other peoples opinions.

@ohh:
did you take your meds today? there is no way Brad will leave Angelina. she is the mother of his kids. they are a family. and about #227 well, actually i hate diet coke, i drink real coke. thats the answer to your high leveled post.

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

Leo -
Angelina’s commentary does appear to be the same, that observation is certainly true. However, it’s still convenient timing; both have films coming out soon, and there’s the issue that their children are pictured. I realize that these six individuals are very important parts of their lives - perhaps the most, besides each other - but it does seem wrong to utilize that aspect of your life to promote your image and/or a film. I respect AJ and BP for not revealing more information than necessary, but I don’t know if I would expose my children to that kind of attention (although I realize that the paparazzi is unavoidable). Just my take on this . . .

With regards to the photos, Brad appears to be a budding amateur photographer, and Angelina looks beautiful as usual.

coalharbourqt @ 10/13/2008 at 4:33 pm

Wow - great photos and article - can’t wait to buy the magazine :D

Angie and Brad’s detractors are REALLY incensed that they would dare take control of their own image in the media and shoot their own pictures etc. The reality is that they are always going to be written about and photographed, so why the heck SHOULDN’T they do it on their own terms?! Too bad for you if it pisses you off so much.

The reality is that today it sucks to be a hater - Angie and Brad are not going to ’shut up and go away’, as much as the haters may want them to, and that’s what is driving them nuts. Well get over it! Their millions of fans around the world are THRILLED to have some non-paparazzi pictures and a sincere, real interview and story about them.

And PUH-LEEZE - all this whining and crying from the Stepford Wives Continency over Maddox receiving a dulled down dagger as a symbol of tradition and honour. Yes, God forbid any boy in our world today should learn the difference between senseless violence and the honour that comes from discipline and defending sound principles.

It’s the young boys that DON’T learn the difference that are prey to gangs, violence, and committing senseless crimes. Go read up about Samurai’s and what Angie and Brad are trying to teach Maddox, instead of criticizing what you don’t understand or know.

What a bunch of ignorant busybodies the haters are :lol: :lol: Clucking away like the hens that they are :lol:

Happy day to all the fans and Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadian fans!! :D

Oh please Jill you have everything figured out with your common sense you actually would think that angie brad and were your friends. How old are you ? trolls,fugly, ect Do you want to read what you write no one is jealous of anyone do you know what opinion means .where different I’m not sure about anyone lives that i don’t know as you are, but Jill you think your always right so I usually don’t even write you back. You can call me names what ever turns you on, but don’t mention my mom thats dead for 20 yrs i happen to have a wonderful father who did and does a great job. So don’t tell me what i can say or not say as i don’t say anything About what you think and what you think you know… I still don’t think angie looks great in everyone pic i don’t think brad did a good job, and i don’t like everything angie says, so whats the problem why argue thats why we live in a free country to speak and say hat i feel. There doesn’t have to be arguing!!

phoebe @ 10/13/2008 at 4:30 pm

Au contraire, madam roadkill, Scientist have proven that you can objectively rank beauty based on the symmetry of one’s face. Now I know you probably don’t read periodicals but this technique has been done on my celebrities including Brad and Angelina. And it was proven that there faces are more symmetric than about 99.99% of the population.

Angie forevah @ 10/13/2008 at 4:37 pm

Oh what a wonderful family! I’m so happy that she is allowing her eldest child to collect knives and teaching him how to defend himself with them. More mothers should do that. I know that when I become a mother I will start my baby learning about knives after the first month they are born. Maddox will be the cutest lil’ Sumari ever! I can see him now serving the family without question. And falling on his sword if need be to defend the family honor. What a cool mom! I hope my children will be so loyal and obident. You go Angie girl!

Hello Brange Fans,

Just some thoughts on the photos. I really think they are quit beautiful. I was watching M&MS for the umpteenth time, and could not help but notice all the references that could be applied to Brad/Angie’s real lives. Check it out and see what I mean. It was raining and I had some time on my hands

*Mr. Smith…. I was married once before.. It was a drunken Vegas thing
*The crazy sex scene when the cops show up….Rumored Sex in Africa
*The opening of the perfect couple…. W photo spread
*Vince Vaughan…(Everyone is gunning for you)… See the haters
*Hot chemistry on screen…. HOT chemistry off screen
*Mr.and Mrs. Smith had a little girl…..Hello Shiloh

There are more, if you think of some please post.

Also.. I think that Shiloh looks like Sophie Monk. What do you all think?

We should stop commenting to the Haters. Let’s just ignore them and see what happens. Lets just talk amongst ourselves. I think they will get tired and leave.

…ooh!…I wish I had one Maddox’s knives up in the piece right about now…hahahahahahahaha

Now take your ignorant little ass over to library, pull out the S volume of the encyclopedia, and look up this word: S-A-M-U-R-A-I.

(BTW, Samurai are Japanese. Maddox is Cambodian. Not that it makes any difference to you. You’re so dumb, you probably think “you can’t tell them slants apart anyway. They all look alike.”)

@neil:
i see your point and i partly agree, but anyway i like her:) its a matter of taste like i said. Angelina surely is a beauty, she is extraordinary, but there are many people who don´t think she is beautiful (i´m not one of them). i don´t understand that but i respect their opinion. thanks for your nice input, that lady under you sorta is ignorant.

@Leo:
“Cretin”? nice try, but bashing in French is bashing anyway…is that all you can do? btw….you forgot the slash on the “e” its crétin….
“your domain” dear lord you do have ego issues…..LOL
why should i want “fun” on here? i am no hateful fanatic like some on here. as you can read in my comments, that is if you can read. “punching bag”? no i don´t think so….but i guess anger management classes would do better since you are clearly aggressive and emotional.
#242 as for the “symetry” i don´t give a tiny little rats behind….do you always agree with others? if most people think ones pretty you think so too? if most people vote for someone you do to? if some Scientist has nothing better to do than say what beauty is you agree? have you no own mind? clearly not….its a matter of taste. the fact that you don´t understand this clearly is disturbing.

The pix are lame. What is there to be jealous of? He hasn’t changed her ass one bit. she still slightly crazy and loves shocking people. When she dumps him she will give you the shock of your life. Brangetards!

______________________

I’am.
Have you read what Angelina said? Let me repost it for you:

And I’ve already bought Maddox some things. We take him to a special shop.” She emphasizes that the knife blades are dulled so they’re not dangerous, and that the purchases are accompanied by discussions about violence. But, she says, “we also talk about samurais and about the idea of defending someone as good. We talk about everything.”

But you don’t care do you? You just something to through at Angelina. What do you acomplish with that? Does that make you feel better? You people are sick.
_____________________________

Yeah, and what is also purposely missed, is that Angelina is a COLLECTOR, and Angie’s collection is ‘antique,’ Maddox has been around her collection his ENTIRE life. He wanted one too. You don’t PLAY with a COLLECTION of any kind - my brother ‘collects’ baseballs, he doesn’t use them when he plays, I collect water goblets, but it’s a RARE thing when I drink out of one, and I sure as hell don’t set my collection out come Thanksgiving when runrats are about. Just as people don’t PLAY with ‘daggers,’ ’swords,’ and ‘knives,’ they COLLECT - you display them in a locked case, you talk about their history, or the art behind them, the period of time they were used, and you mount them - end of story.

Besides, I expect everyone sqwawking to write the NRA and get them to ban their family target range, shooting, bowing and hunting programs? Also ask Sarah Palin how old she was when she first picked up a gun? Mad’s age. I don’t see anyone yelling their disgust about THAT. ..and truthfully, if her Dad was a hunter, if they ate the meat they brought in - I have no problem with it. My family hunts too. I just have a problem with her party and her policies and overall wingnut vibe - oh and the fact that she’s not too bright. Her heritage and culture in AK is of no less value than someone brought up in NYC - it’s nothing to be denigrated.

Switching gears…

You know what I find odd, is that article written on Louisiana and tax credits and citizens and how much of the bill they will foot — you know, stadiums are built all over this country every day, that get named after big conglomerates and banks, and it’s really hard for the media to straight up tell citizenry just how much they end up payng for it. But Louisiana tries to attract the film community with projects and you have them immediately coming out with the tab for one recent movie, UN-coincidentally Brad Pitt’s, the man who is single handedly bringing back an ENTIRE neighborhood?

Button was NOT the first movie filmed in Louisiana, and it certainly isn’t the last - there’s been more than a half dozen films shot there since then — and yet an article comes out telling citzenry, about Ben Button?? Something’s VERY f*shy in Denmark. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s someone trying to take the glory away from Pitt’s MIR, and what he’s done for Louisiana. truth be told — Pitt’s MIR project probably thwarted a LOT of powerful development companies that wanted to clear all of the middle and lower income people out and put up condos or strip malls or tourist spots. That has LONG been a theory behind why the levees were to begin with - a ‘who cares if the poor black folk,’ get washed away mentality. Now we get this article??? Come on.

Breastfeeding is the best @ 10/13/2008 at 4:54 pm

Angelina’s kids are put on magazine cover by tabs telling us lies every week.They’re sick of it,its good for them to give us their side.If they were not hunted as other celebs then fine but these two are hunted to the point of moving to France but guess what? the paps followed them.Why should they allow others to present their family in a negative way all the time.peace

States’ Film Production Incentives Cause Jitters
By MICHAEL CIEPLY

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

Dear Susan The Idiot,

Uh, dear, do you realize that neither Brad, Fincher nor Paramount is responsible for Louisiana’s crappy tax credit law? It’s a law they knowingly passed in an attempt to entice production companies to film in the state, thereby creating jobs and generating other revenue. You see, they passed this law YEARS before Paramount CHOSE to film CCOBB in New Orleans. And for the record, it was NOT Brad who elected to set CCOBB in New Orleans. You need to go talk to Brad Grey at Paramount, director David Fincher and screenwriter Eric Roth. I’m just amazed at the kind of power you trolls think Brad has! Morons.

CLINIQUA @ 10/13/2008 at 4:59 pm
Too true. Developers want to get their hands on the property in the Lower 9th ward for a golf course or some other devleopment. The community and grass root organizations have fought long and hard to rebuild in the area. The State dragged its feet and Brad Pitt’s MIR is a model of what a private citizen can do to get the work done where the state failed. Louisiana has actively courted movie and production houses to film in the state. It is not called Hollywood South for nothing.

Selma you are an idiot! It’s called being an actress and that is her job. If you can’t distinguish between the two you are dumber than I think you are! And post 100 agree with all of you. These people who SAY they can’t stand Brad and Angie are some of the 1st people to go to their posts. Amazing ! Love the pictures and can’t wait to buy the magazine.

Love Brad’s pictures of Angie and the kids. Love Angie’s interview. Brad and Angie are so in love. As Angie said Brad is the right man for her. Brad is perfect for her. She has become so happy, so content and so peaceful since she is with Brad. They are going to together forever.

passing Through @ 10/13/2008 at 5:04 pm
Too true. The wackos at Female First latched on this article like they have found the bomb to end BP’s life and career. They have an active campaign going on. Sort of like how they tried to contact the UN about AJ.
Hens are not very bright but definitely mean spirited.

Is it true that Brad pulled out of Darren Aronafsky’s latest movie “The Fighter”? Isn’t this the second time he had to pull out of an Aronafsky film?

In-depth analsys of MIR homes. Entire article at link.

Energy-efficient home projects dot New Orleans
October 13, 2008 - 1:42pm

By EILEEN FLEMING
For The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - On a sliver of a demolished chunk of the Lower Ninth Ward is a cluster of modern homes being readied for the return of families. Here is cutting-edge design in an unlikely landscape.

The state-of-the-art, energy-efficient residences were designed by prominent architects and experts brought together by the Make It Right foundation, driven by actor Brad Pitt. The homes stand next to concrete slabs that are all that is left of houses bashed sideways by a levee break during Hurricane Katrina three years ago.

Solar panels adorn the new houses’ roofs. Concrete columns hoist some of the homes several feet up off the ground, which remains vulnerable to flooding. Walkways of permeable concrete will allow rain to flow through, instead of pooling up; it’s hoped that the material could end storm runoff and ease pressure on the city’s pumping system.

Inside the homes, walls are sealed with sprayed insulation. The drywall is made without paper, so it will dry quickly and resist mold. Windows are made to withstand hurricane-force winds and don’t need to be boarded up before a storm. The solar panels probably wouldn’t survive a 200 mph wind, but the homes should.

“The idea is that (after a storm) families have a house to come back to,” said Make It Right’s executive director, Tom Darden. “The difference between having to replace your solar panels or having to replace your home is night and day.”

Sitting in their car, watching the construction crews finishing up, are Lloyd and Rosemary Griffin, who will be moving in. They’ve spent many hours watching the construction of this house, which is replacing the one they moved into after Hurricane Betsy in 1965 _ the house that Hurricane Katrina washed away as they watched from a neighbor’s roof.

“When the house left, it left with everything,” said Rosemary Griffin. “We have nothing to remember that house, not even a picture. It got in the middle of the street and went past us.”

That four-bedroom home is being replaced by a two-bedroom, 1 1/2-bath house stocked with energy-efficient appliances. The new house is only a little smaller that its predecessor, but the power bills are expected to drop by 75 percent.

Lloyd Griffin said that’s significant: The couple lives on a fixed income and had been paying an average $300 a month on energy before Katrina.

A key consultant in Make It Right’s Lower Ninth Ward project was architect William McDonough, whom Vanity Fair magazine ranked No. 71 in its latest list of 100 Leaders of the Information Age. McDonough’s “cradle to cradle” philosophy holds that buildings can produce their own energy and ultimately leave no ill effects on the environment. His other projects include Ford Motor’s River Rouge turf-covered truck plant in Michigan, and a building at Oberlin College in Ohio that produces more energy that it uses.

McDonough’s adviser for the Lower Ninth Ward project is Katherine Grove, who said energy independence “doesn’t have to be rocket science.” There are three basic principles, she said: Make sure there’s daylight in every room, insulate according to climate and reduce water loads.

Green homes don’t have to be new, she said. Reusing materials is especially beneficial in urban areas so long as the building’s shell is safe. Salvaging old windows and frames, for instance, can be an efficient and attractive way to bring light through interior walls. Old mantles and other ornamental touches can add beauty.

But it’s important, Grove added, to make sure that recycled items are safe from toxic chemicals, such a lead paint.

In New Orleans, Darden said, the new houses incorporate some tried-and-true design elements used in the area for generations. Ceilings are high. Windows can be opened to bring in cool breezes. Porches are shaded.

Added to that are the solar panels, and geothermal systems that can cool and heat using underground circulation.

To the Griffins, however, what’s most important about the new house is that it will be their own. They’ve been staying with family in New Orleans, and are anxious to get settled.

“We were born and raised here. This is where are roots are. We know no other place,” Rosemary Griffin said.

Yes, I know that it was suggested—–but Brad and Angie didn´t have to accept.

I havn´t heard about Johnny Depp or Vanessa—-but that´s beside the point, for I am against exposing your own children in such a way—no matter who the person doing it is.

(I don´t really care about the dagger stuff…..though I see why some people would have a problem with that—-back when I was ten years old, alot of my classmates bought knifes or plastic guns as souvenirs (trips))

What really gets on my nerves, is how actors always complain about lack of privacy—–and yet alot of them expose their (little) children to this extent. Then why, does Brad (or other actors for that matter) get so worked over paps taking pictures of his children?

I simply don´t understand their logic. (and never forget—–there are some sick, sick people out there……..I already can see this coming back at me ;/)

How many moms here would buy a knife for their kids to play with?

All vote Aye?

+++++++++++
Most chidren who are in scouting or go have knives. Swiss Army knives or Pocket knives. They are taught by responsible adults how to use them.

Those can be just as deadly as a dagger. How about fire crackers? Parents give those to their kids on the 4th of July. Those can be deadly too if unsupervised. (Even sparklers can be a fire hazard) Trick or Treating? OMG!!!!
What about riding your bike without knee pads and a helmut? Pretty dangerous (although when I was a kid they did not have them).

My point is this. ANYTHING can be dangerous if the child is left unsupervised which these children are not.

This just has everyone’s knickers in a twist because they were

I agree, I think the article is extremely fishy. When did Benjamin Button wrap in New Orleans??? And its just now that the NYT decided to print this article, right after Brad got finished putting up half dozen of the houses he wants to build. These people in the media and their familiars never stop. Every time something positive is happening in the JP’s life, there is always some fcuking story that decides to pop up after the fact. Which has nothing to do with Brad or Angelina, or if it does, its extremely flimsy at best.

It never ENDS. And the beat goes on…..la di da di da…..la

Breastfeeding is the best @ 10/13/2008 at 4:54 pm

Yes, but all I said was that it was simply not the way I would conduct my family’s business/affairs. I realize I am however not in their position and could therefore not actually know what it’s like; however, I do not think that further placing one’s children in the limelight is the best idea, especially when it is questionably to promote ones’ own film/image. I realize that AJ/BP are able to do so ‘on their own terms,’ but I do not think placing their children in a magazine photo shoot will quell the paparazzi’s appetite for photos of any of their young children. They are still choosing to represent themselves this way, and it so happens to be around the time when both are releasing films. And I do not think it’s right that they included their children in the photos. It’s publicity. This is just my perspective, and I’m just trying to call the shots as I see ‘em.

dianad1968 @ 10/13/2008 at 5:17 pm

Perez, like most bloggers blow hot and cold when it comes to the JPs, and I would say most especially Angelina. I have seen that recently he has been making snide and rather insulting remarks about her. People like him have to keep their ad revenue any way they can. So my belief is, whenever he can he will throw Angelina’s name under the bus. It’s all about the money. And when you go there you help him get it. I decided to stop going there.

black, why shouldn’t they accept? She had to do press for the movie anyway, so what’s the big deal? And please stop it with the fake concern for the children being exposed. The family cannot even go do regular things with their children, without paps taking their photos. And what do you call Jen Graner daily trips with her daughter, and dont get me started with Katie Holmes. Is it because this photo shoot was brought about by using the same means as the iconic Liz Taylor? That’s too bad, that’s just how highly these people are thought of.

It’s hard to say, I don’t really buy into the conspiracy theory stuff. But anything is possible in the media. Most especially HW, where everyone is out to get everyone else. Subtle as it may be, sometimes there are reasons to believe that people like Perez being paid off to start things up right around the time B&A have things to promote. I’m sure Brad knows about the wheeling and dealing in HW, since he has been in HW for such a long time now. I’m sure that’s why in his Charlie Rose interview, he made a comment about no longer bothering to set the record straight, and to just keep his head down. Wait for sh*t to blow over.

Listen, I havn´t read the whole article, so I don´t even know what you´re refering to. I know whose idea this shot was (as mentioned).

If you think my concern is fake, well, I have no problem with that.

But you don´t seem to understand what I´m really trying to say. I am aware that paps will always follow the actors children around (Garner, Holmes…ect) and take shots of them.

But the children simply don´t have a choice than being photographed there. That, or they can be hid by the parents (as Brad and Angie firs did with Shiloh—blanket).

But this shoot is another matter. Brad and Angie are both actors—-good for them—if they want their pictures to be taken, and published, well, good for them. Nobody can stop them there——BUT—–they put their children in there as well, those are private moments—and they are selling them out.

There is no denying that they are, now is there?

Do you remember how Brad used to think about matters of privacy years back?

It was sacred to him. He never talked about his private life, never wanted paps to take shots of his family ——and now he is practically feeding them. (Back then he was able to separate his jo from his private life)

And as a man, who´s been in this business for such a long time, he must be aware of the “frenzy” he is creating.

black @ 10/13/2008 at 6:01 pm

What the hell are you talking about? Brad did talk about his private life before. What planet were you living on? That’s how we know how he felt about both GP and X. He doesn’t talk about Angelina. That’s why the trolls are losing their sh*t. They need ammo they can use against him. But so far he hasn’t give them any. The only thing you have is the W shoot of Angelina and the kids. Which I might add is their business. This is just another way for them to take control away from the media and the familiars who want to tear them down. And I don’t see a problem with that. It’s time for those celebrities in the media who can take control of their life and how its seen by the public. If you don’t like it you don’t have to buy it. Simple.

You’re gone for a couple of hours and the trolls get crazier. Trolls are like rust, they never sleep or rest.

Fans if you think it is crazy now, wait until the magazine comes out and it sells well. I already admitted that I saw E last week and saw the first pictures. I wore garlic and a cross. I also sprinkled holy water in front of my tv. But even Peecrest admitted that the pictures were beautiful. Take it with a grain of salt, if you must. But I did see the words coming out of his mouth.

Cliniqua, there is another theory concerning the 9th ward and the flooding. Some think that the levees were destroyed so as to keep the French Quarter from flooding.

There is a new Walmart, and a IIRC a new Home Depot down there. There are lost of new stores, but I can’t remember all of the names. The developers have been chafing at the bit to get in there. You should really see the levees. They are truly a joke.
Peace

How is this taking control of the media?

They did the same thing with Shiloh—and things still got worse.

(A bit off topic——I´m going to sleep right now, so we will continue this little discussion in a couple of hours, peace ;/)

I know people who are hunters that start their young children in shooting rifles at a young age. I never forget when one of my students said she shot her first deer at age 8. Now that is worst then collecting knives. My grandson would prob love to have Angie as a mom. He is into guns and weapons. He changes any and everything into a weapon. His other grandmother bought him a pellet air rifle for Xmas two years ago. I felt that he was too young but he has one. I bought him a large water gun which I feel is his speed.(lol).

black,

Again, what is wrong with a man taking photos of his family? It’s in a controlled environment, so it is better than the paps taking the pictures and using them anyway, (which they do).

And if you think that Jen Garner et al are not courting pictures of their children, I have a bridge to sell you.

The magazine was looking for a different slant for the movie promotion. I am almost sure that after just having her babies, Angie was not in the best frame of mind to do a lavish photo shoot. Hence the photographs. This way, they killed two birds with one stone, the magazine article with photos for the promotion, and Brad gets to show his beautiful family through his eyes. A win, win for all.

Why dont you read the article first, before spouting the usual rhetoric. It’s becoming tedious reading the same old criticsims about the JPs. If it were anyone else, they would de lauded from kingdom come. But of couse with this family, they have to try to tear them down. Noticed I said “try”, because it will take more than a few detractors on gossip sites, belly aching about some tasteful pictures to do that.

It’s often been observed, rightly or wrongly, that Jolie has completely changed Pitt, transforming the Sexiest Man Alive into a tireless international do-gooder in her own image. She says Pitt has profoundly changed her. When asked for specifics, she lets out a rare bashful laugh and, before answering, points out that she hasn’t necessarily discussed them with Pitt himself.

Oh now I see why she tried to make it seem like he changed her . I see she only came up with ONE thing.

I totally love her for being able to change that white bread into her own image. who else could do that? Only the Jolie.

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

How do you know she only came up with “one thing”? W only printed “one thing”. Were they supposed to have Angie write up a list so they could recount them all for the edification of nosy dipshits like you? If so, maybe you can e-mail the editors at W and ask them to get you a list. I’m sure, since it’s YOU, they’ll be more than happy to oblige. Not.

This is part of the deal every time an actor has to promote a movie. And has been that way since forever. Take some time and give a look at old magazines…

2) Brad and Angelina have to “feeding them”, because if they don’t they have paparazzi jumping on their backyards and puting in danger their family.

They are releasing the pics on their own terms. You probably will see another photoshoot when the twins get about 7 or 8 months.

Interesting question.

Why does it have to be “pro daggers” and for the record, my daughter does have a dagger. It is a replica of an Egyptian artifact. She got it when she was eight. Low and behold she is 18 and she still has the dagger, as well as two samuri sword and we are all puncture free.

I am in favor of children being SUPERVISED. In my work with childrens’ services I can tell you that balloons, Polly Pockets and Hot Wheels cars can be just as deadly when parts break off and are swallowed. Q-tips can puncture ear drums if used by little ones.

Barbie - that shapely smiling purveyor of death is comes with a whole array of choking hazards in the form of accessories (not to mention she causes anorexia and the desire for breast implants).

Lets not forget Eric Clapton’s 5 year old son’s tragic death because he fell out of a pent house window.

Who here is in favor of children having windows?

The whole point that those who are opposed are deliberately being obtuse to (in their quest to criticize the JPs) is that without supervision, EVERYTHING can be a danger!

Angelina Gets Up Close and Personal in Words and Pictures

If you thought the Brad Pitt-snapped image of Angelina Jolie breast-feeding on the November cover of W was intimate, then you’ll probably feel like a Peeping Tom as you check out seven more equally personal and candid photos from the expansive spread inside the magazine.

Billed as a “week in the life” of the world’s most famous blended brood, the portfolio, which the aesthetically minded actor shot at their French chateau several weeks after the July arrival of twins Vivienne and Knox, includes pictures of the extra-fertile Oscar winner playfully making fish lips, chowing down on a burger and enjoying time with her tots.

I love his photography,” Angelina enthuses of Brad’s artistic leanings in the accompanying interview. “Some people have a hobby, and they find the quickest way to it and are very pleased with the outcome right away. But he’s someone who will really study the camera — he’ll get the most complicated one and really understand the science behind it.”

That’s no exaggeration. According to the magazine, Pitt wanted to shoot Jolie using a very specific type of film. The problem? The film stopped being made four years ago. The mag’s photo editor managed to locate 70 rolls (40 off eBay and 30 from a seller in Israel), which were quickly hand-delivered to him in France.

On the clan’s jet set lifestyle: “It’s part of how I want to raise them,” notes Jolie, who over a whirlwind few days last week hit New York, New Orleans and France with Pitt and the kids. “If you tell them we’re getting on a plane tomorrow, they’re all excited to pack their bags, and if you say we’re not coming back for months, they won’t bat an eye. I think they see the world as a home.” By way of illustration, she recalls watching Maddox “run through the markets of Addis Ababa [in Ethiopia] and not notice that it’s very poor, or that everyone is African or that he’s Asian. It wouldn’t matter to him.” She says one of her prized possessions is a suitcase stuffed with their travel documents: Cambodia for Maddox, Vietnam for 4-year-old Pax, Ethiopia for 3-year-old Zahara, Namibia for 2-year-old Shiloh, France for the twins, along with their U.S. passports and her U.N. papers.

On the pitter-patter of little feet: In a revelation sure to inspire a “Geez, mom, that’s sooooooooo embarrassing” exclamation in the coming years, Jolie says Zahara and Pax enjoy slow-dancing together in a re-creation of Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip’s hoofing from Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty.” (Go on, say it, we know you’re itching to get it out: Awwwww.)

On her relationship with Pitt: “I do think that I’m good in a partnership now,” observes the once solo-preferring Jolie, who seems unaware of the tabloids’ weekly predictions of doom for their rug rat-packed, do-gooder-oriented romance. “I think it just needed to be the right man. … It’s not just that I love being in Brad’s company, which obviously I do, but it’s that we both roll up our sleeves and take on what we care about in the same way. I have a lot of respect for him, and he helps me to be better and fight hard for things that I love.”

On Brad’s effect on her womb: “I think one of the life-changing things that he did, one of many, is that I was absolutely never going to get pregnant,” she acknowledges. “I never felt that it was the right thing to do. Now I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world. It taught me a lot about life, just the process of it, and now we have three other beautiful children that wouldn’t otherwise be here.”

On how he changed her mind: “When we first met, he talked about having children in that way. I talked about only adopting children,” she reveals. When they decided that Pitt would adopt Maddox and Zahara, “He stopped talking about having other kids in the other way,” continues Angelina. “So I suppose in my heart I realized that he was happy with them as his children, completely. I knew he would never see them as different, and that gave me a certain peace. Then I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to [getting pregnant]. I suddenly wanted to. It’s one of those things you can’t explain.”

On their crowded sleeping quarters: “Most nights, someone ends up in our bed,” says Angelina, who disclosed last week how she and Brad try — usually unsuccessfully — to find some alone-time in the tub. “They’ve just taken over in there — especially right now, because we want them to feel that the babies aren’t special in the room. So our door is much more like a swinging door. The kids do knock before entering. We’ve at least got that part down. Because Mommy and Daddy need some space.”

wrong! u r mistaking her for his ex. angie was captivating before brad, which is why the media went berserk when they got together. it is the ex that no one would give a damn about if she didn’t hook up with brad. angie was always hot, always interesting, and always had an element of mystery.

ex, on the other hand was only famous for being in a popular sitcom. no one gave a rat’s dingleberry about her private life. even she knows it, and if u don’t know that fact, u r deluding urself, which is not at all surprising seeing how ur idol is delusional as well (e.g parading herself like she’s hot 5-h-i-t). only reason why she is still relevant is due to her previous marriage to brad. apart from that, she would be as interesting/relevant as lisa kudrow and courtney cox which is in truth, not very.

Nah, it was obviously the other way around with how fast he wanted to adopt her chil’ren. with him being the “super amazing man” I am surprised he let her take the full blame in the press for that sh it. NEVER coming out to fully defend her and instead cowering and putting his tail between his legs.

You’re so dumb, the word cretin that I used was the English version of the word not the French version. It was means fool. Anydummy, symmetry has two m’s. And if you were to correct my grammar, you should have corrected the “there” in my sentence. It should have read “their”. But in your rush to correct me, you tried and failed miserably. Just like you’ve been doing all evening.

Beautiful interview by Angie. But know know she will get a lot of flack about the knives statement. Otherwise, the interview was lovely.

Does anyone have a scan or know a link to the interview “W” magazine did on Angie in 2005 before M/Mrs. Smith came out? They talked about it in the article. I was surfing the net but have not been able to find it.

It is so funny how haters check this site daily and bet the fans to the site. They may not like Angie but they are interested in what she is doing and saying. lol!!!!! Now what type of attraction is that?

I know the media as usual will say harsh things about the interview, always have and always will! Angie is #1 on the internet now!!

God bless the Jolie-Pitt family!

Thanks Rien for the update on the Jolie-Pitts in Berlin. You are our #1 source in Berlin.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of this publicity seeking pair. If they really wanted privacy these pictures would stay private. Where would they be if they weren’t constantly exploiting their children for publicity? Brad hasn’t had a decent movie in ten years. See Fight Club. 1998. He’s been coasting on dating famous women ever since. Her career was on the way out the door until she met him. Beyond Borders anyone? I didn’t think so. Today’s celebrity means being a hybrid of a hollywood person and a reality show contestant. These photos are about business and making millions of dollars. Don’t think this is just some selfless sharing on their part.

She already has. USWeekly picked it up and the trolls are going crazy on their web site. Wait till Wednesday when the tabs come out.

W is coming out on October 21. (Next Tuesday.)

Fans if you think it is crazy now, wait until the magazine comes out and it sells well. I already admitted that I saw E last week and saw the first pictures. I wore garlic and a cross. I also sprinkled holy water in front of my tv. But even Peecrest admitted that the pictures were beautiful. Take it with a grain of salt, if you must. But I did see the words coming out of his mouth.

Cliniqua, there is another theory concerning the 9th ward and the flooding. Some think that the levees were destroyed so as to keep the French Quarter from flooding.

There is a new Walmart, and a IIRC a new Home Depot down there. There are lost of new stores, but I can’t remember all of the names. The developers have been chafing at the bit to get in there. You should really see the levees. They are truly a joke.
Peace

They were pretty definitive about it. That’s why they all know what’s up re Katrina too.

Man… the haters are happier than pigs in slop, aren’t they? I mean, I know that I’m stoked about seeing the W pics and reading the articles, but this is the haters’ Christmas.

But first, the article about NOLA not profitting from TCCOBB and that fact that, somehow, being Brad Pitt’s fault… how?

The local and state governments are the ones who established the tax breaks, along with creating state agencies responsible for administrating the logistics of moviemaking within their state. They usually have a list of local film companies and crew members available for the visiting film projects to take advantage of, along with other services that film projects could use. Could it be that all of the film companies, crew members, suppliers, etc. are not back in NOLA because of the lack of progress in reestablishing housing and reopening businesses? Of course, that could be pinned on Brad Pitt too, since he took the initiative, along with Steven Bing, to get the proverbial ball rolling in terms of building houses for families. BTW… damn Will Ferrell and his film, Semi-Pro, for not turning Flint, MI into a Technicolor Munchkinland.

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

Perez has always been a wishy-washy b*tch when it comes to the JPs. He never corrected his post about the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Project; he criticized an Angelina quote involving Zahara and cookies; and he criticized them for taking steps to keep the press on task when it comes to questions about AMH. Not to mention that he posted that breakup story while claiming that he didn’t believe it. Gossip bloggers/entertainment ‘journalists’ will continue to have a beef again the JPs because they believe that they are entitled to full access to the JPs, or worse, full right to dictate the way the JPs should move about in the world.

Now back to the W Mag… as some have already pointed out, not only does Angelina collect knives, she learns about the culture and the rituals associated with them. I somehow doubt that the historical/anthropological significance of these knives and daggars will take a back seat to merely possessing them.

And seriously… if there are those who prefer cameras to be trained on the JPs by the likes of those lunkheads who brawled outside of that HW pumpkin patch instead of a father/partner, then I suggest that they recruit these @$$holes to document special moments of their families’ lives.

I am perplexed as to the recent snarky articles abot the JPs on Perez . What gives? It seems someone might have gotten to him. Just today he had another nasty post up about the W magazine interview, berating Angie.

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

These days Perez is a lot like Ted C - using negative posts about Angie to create traffic for his site. I was ROTFLMAO at Ted last week because as soon as I saw his post I knew why he’d done it. He renovated his site and if you look at the threads the most comments he had was 30 on one about Queen Latifah not coming out of the closet. Most of the threads had between 0 and 10 comments. So he puts up the post slamming Angie and suddenly he’s got over 200 comments - which means there were probably 5 times as many hits by people who didn’t leave comments.

It’s the same deal with Perez. He used to routinely have a 300-500 comments no matter what the subject of his post was. These days he’s lucky to get 100 comments on any given subject. That’s why he manufactured that rumor about Brad & Angie splitting up a few weeks back. It generate talk about his site and got him a lot of traffic and comments. I don’t expect to see the baiting by Perez or Ted stop anytime soon. I guess they figure that being irrelevant isn’t nearly as bad as being broke.

Perez, like most bloggers blow hot and cold when it comes to the JPs, and I would say most especially Angelina. I have seen that recently he has been making snide and rather insulting remarks about her. People like him have to keep their ad revenue any way they can. So my belief is, whenever he can he will throw Angelina’s name under the bus. It’s all about the money. And when you go there you help him get it. I decided to stop going there.

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

Exactly. The bottom line for Perez is making money. If he has to diss Angie occasionally to do that, then he will. Remember the time he briefly sold out to Courteney Cox? He was ads for “Dirt” all over his site, made an appearance on her show…and stopped snarking about X. As soon as Dirt got cancelled and he didn’t have their ad dolars anymore, he was right back to making fun of X. If someone paid him enough money he’d turn on Paris Hilton, too!

Really don’t like either of them; BUT I was curious and so I looked at the pictures. They are actually quite good. Those kids are so cute. And, although I as a parent don’t agree with them on some things; those kids do look happy; so they must be doing something right.

From a very early age my brother collected swords and he now has 65. I don’t find it weird that Maddox has taken an interest in knives. Who says he goes around and plays with them, they could be incased and hung up for show. He just wants to be like his mother and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m glad that they have a close bond and can share things openly. If it’s not one thing it’ll be another so there’s really no pleasing everyone.

Hey Jill
I’m home went to see Jess in fl.,even though she’ll be home in 2wks.I couldn’t wait to see my baby!!
The pictures are absolutely beautiful and fun a lot of meaning..Brad did a great job, and Angie spoke so lovingly I’m really starting to get to know her.
Well anyway I never buy mags I just love reading books so I’ll just wait till they all come out.
Just wanted to know how your feeling? Got to get to bed I’m so tired from the flight. ‘m getting to old with all this flying…
Talk to you all soon have a great night..

I think it’s beautiful the way Brad adores his family. He’s proud and wants to share pictures, I see nothing wrong with the pictures. I find it funny that Brad and Angelina are very giving of time and pictures when they are out in public but the sneeky papz breaking onto their property scaring them was wrong.

HA! my brother used to all the time climb a very tall tree on our backyard (I mean tall!) and carry around his belt knives and yelling he was tarzan. Not to mention he lost a lot of them, he never got hurt.
I believe it depends in the education.I am not from the US, but I see that there is a strong gun culture over there, and not everyone is shooting each other when young. There are accidents if kids get to the guns unsupervised as in everyhome anything can happen, playing with fire, in the kitchen, playing on the street, etc.
Also, I beliee that B&A are a bit more into Asian culture than people from my country, so their hobbies and interests are in different directions (not to mention prices!)

What the hell are you talking about? Brad did talk about his private life before. What planet were you living on? That’s how we know how he felt about both GP and X. He doesn’t talk about Angelina. That’s why the trolls are losing their sh*t. They need ammo they can use against him. But so far he hasn’t give them any. The only thing you have is the W shoot of Angelina and the kids. Which I might add is their business. This is just another way for them to take control away from the media and the familiars who want to tear them down. And I don’t see a problem with that. It’s time for those celebrities in the media who can take control of their life and how its seen by the public. If you don’t like it you don’t have to buy it. Simple.

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

Leo -

You hit the nail on the head. The real problem people like “black” has is that Brad is no longer giving them leverage - words they can throw back in his face at a later date. I said it the other day and I’ll say it again - it’s killing them! Angie’s a talker. She’s ALWAYS been a talker and Brad hasn’t tried to stop that at all. Even though he routinely said how he hated that X told her Goddess Circle their business. The difference is that Angie shares SNIPPETS of their lives and isn’t dogging him out in public.

At the same time he’s letting his actions speak for him and that’s not good enough for a handful of people who want the man to publicly gush about his life. Frankly I think Brad is RELIEVED that he no longer has to say publicly how wonderful his life is - just to appease the other person in the relationship. No more ego stroking because he’s better looking, more successful, more intelligent, more sought after, more lusted after, etc.As long as Angie knows how he feels, he probably thinks that’s all that matters. And that’s all that should matter to him. He certainly shouldn’t be worried that haters are made because he’s not giving them enough ammo to mock him with.

Hi there Orchid,
I was wondering where you were on the AJ-Obama thread
I was trying to post re: the Ayres-Bhorn Weatherman Underground issue in response to someone who said Ayres was not a terrorist but exercising his “right to civil disobedience”…an uneducated opinion and a “crock” that needed to be challenged regardless if Ayres influences voting decisions.

I tried about ten to fifteen times to post over two days, sometimes in a row, splitting the posts in twos, thirds etc, sometimes spread out over hours, sometimes very early thinking it was “traffic” related and that’s how I got that one (out of three) posted today. I’m giving up on the other two. It was not moderated but like FelineLilly’s comment, it just never showed up…ever! I didn’t use any links or swear words. My “Neleh mantra” wasn’t working LOL. I tried every browser IE, Opera, Avant Browser, Firefox, SlimBrowser and finally researched Maxthon browser…my only option left, which has been working so far. I did email Jared and officially expressed my frustration with how time consuming it is and with so many new threads, political responses on a political thread become untimely and irrelevant…then of course you have the blog police watching over. I’m not sure he can do anything and I haven’t received a response which I don’t expect.
Anyway, nice to see you posting…the day of reckoning is approaching isn’t it.

Why does it have to be “pro daggers” and for the record, my daughter does have a dagger. It is a replica of an Egyptian artifact. She got it when she was eight. Low and behold she is 18 and she still has the dagger, as well as two samuri sword and we are all puncture free.

Ebmo -

One of my co-workers has a daughter that collects swords. She’s 16 now and has been collecting since she was 8. They’re ceremonial swords, sharpened, not dulled, and come with scabbards for storage. She’s got siblings…not once has any of them tried to hurt anyone with the swords. When my co-worker first mentioned it some people were taken aback - but only because it was her DAUGHTER collecting and not her son!

Most peple have some common sense. Just not the Jolie-Pitt haters…or US Lies Weakly. I laughed at their little header on the side of the page. Leave it to Min to make a mountain out of ant dung.

I can just imagine how pissed Brad must have been when X was spreading their martial issues and what not to the witches circle. I don’t even know how anyone would be able to deal with that kind of thing. One thing I have to say, even though Angelina talks, she never says anything new. And frankly she hardly talks about Brad. Most of the time we hear only about how the kids interact with one another. And like I said up thread most of what she has said about Brad has been very superficial. So technically speaking, everything she has said has become redundant. Which is good, because again it takes away the ammo from those would like to tear them down.
