Brad Pitt is Michael Kors Cool
Brad Pitt steps out of his SoHo hotel, nearby the Michael Kors boutique, in New York City on Thursday afternoon.
The 44-year-old actor recently taped an interview The Oprah Winfrey Show and opened up about his relationship with Angelina Jolie. When Oprah acknowledged to Brad that Angelina is the love of his life and she asked if this is the happiest he’s ever been, he coyly responded, “Dare I say.”

In a recent Awards Daily blog entry, Sasha Stone discusses the dangers of believing Oscar buzz from anyone who isn’t, well, Roger Ebert. Her reasoning is that in this age of blogger world domination, it’s hard to know whom to trust. And taking bad buzz for granted could lead to the demise of a worthy film, and more importantly, damage the careers of those who worked on it.
While I agree with her message that we should all take heed of where we get our information on the internet, and to trust our own judgment when it comes to the films we choose to see, I think she may be overreacting just a tad.
Over at EW.com, Dave Karger is telling us that we haven’t seen any of the year’s eventual Best Picture nominees yet. He predicts they could all be December releases: Frost/Nixon, Doubt, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Revolutionary Road, and Gran Torino. He then goes on to argue, for the sake of “those of us who like to see good movies hit theaters in all months of the year,” that Milk, Australia, or Slumdog Millionaire might make the cut. Apparently, when he talks about good movies hitting theaters all months of the year, he really just means movies that aren’t coming out until late November and haven’t been seen by the general public yet.
# 29 Lol @ 11/07/2008 at 2:47 am The funniest part of the interview is Shiloh’s new name.l cant believe she doesn’t answer to Shilol anymore,she is going to be a strong indepedent woman just like mummy.
+++++++++++++++
My daughter did that she would “become” a character she liked.
When she was two She identified Jesus from the nativity story as the “star” and would not answer to anything other than that name: Jesus, for about two months.
I really got some funny looks when I took her out in public!

Check out Changeling this weekend. AJ gives a career defining performance. It will move you and outrage you.
Review: Clint Eastwood’s latest film and it’s star, Angelina Jolie, are sure to be a Oscar contenders
Thursday, November 6, 2008
By Steve Turner
That there aren’t enough great roles for women to play has been said enough that we all should imagine it’s true, and I’ll hazard a guess that is why I’ve never thought much of Jolie’s acting. Sure she’s done some quality work, but mostly it’s been on the order of the mentally ill, action thriller or the waif. But here she’s made her career.
Her performance alone moves “The Changeling” into classic film status that guarantees a long life on TV and in rental stores. She’s the new Meryl Streep, Kathryn Hepburn or even Bette Davis. That being said, she would be wise to choose her future roles carefully. With a silly computer-laden action flick she could throw it all away.
It’s interesting that in his 70s Clint Eastwood is doing his best work. He’s said that it’s probably due to his not caring anymore what people think. He’s said a good story is a good story and no matter how hip or skilled at new technology you are, you can’t make a poor story into a good film. With the good story, he advises, everything else follows along. Clint Eastwood’s great and qualified success should be a lesson for the film industry.

Jolie—lately represented in film as a 21st century Superwoman—is terrific in her nuanced performance of a woman caught in such a nightmarish reality. As Christine Collins, she teeters between loathing this strange child in her home and her compassion as a mother, all the while realizing her own son is still missing and unlikely, now, to be found.
For period piece lovers, Eastwood has delivered 1928 in exacting detail, setting the scene with extraordinary brush strokes of reality. It’s the same kind of detail that, for me, made “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” a better-than-not Western, an authenticity that compensates for what some might call Eastwood’s laconic pacing—as “The Changeling” moves at its own deliberate tempo.
Yet, as crime dramas go, it’s an excellent portrayal of both victim and the system, of crime and consequence and, ultimately, retribution.

THE EFFECTS
‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’
For ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,’ makeup and computer effects artists had to address Brad Pitt’s growth from elderly infant to youthful senior.
By Mark Olsen
In the hands of director David Fincher and screenwriter Eric Roth, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and opening Dec. 25, has been turned into a dazzling somersault of a movie that tumbles easily over decades, strange and swoony and romantic and sad. A baby is improbably born as an infant-sized old man, and as he ages and grows he actually gets younger.
The task of rendering the film’s aging effects was done by a mix of computer work and makeup techniques. Blending the two, and rendering the complicated process of aging characters played by Brad Pitt,Cate Blanchett and others without overwhelming the story, proved difficult.
“That was the challenge,” Fincher said. “You need to make sure that if people empathize with Benjamin it’s because his malady, or his curse, is something you believe in. But it’s also the cornerstone of where he’s going and why he behaves the way that he does. You don’t want to be taken out of the movie; you don’t want people looking at the neckline or the collar. You’ve got to be sure that stuff is seamless.”

Get Kung Fu Panda for the Holidays!!!!
New DVD releases: `Kung Fu Panda,’ ‘Hellboy II’
“Kung Fu Panda”
The furry hero with Jack Black’s voice proves that chubbiness is no impediment to heroic deeds. The animated action comedy features the voices of Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Dustin Hoffman among the gang of good guys, martial-arts fighters taking on an evil foe with help from a klutzy panda (Black) who somehow lands the gig as the prophesied “Dragon Warrior.” The movie is available in a single-disc DVD or in a two-disc set packed with a companion volume, “Secrets of the Furious Five,” in which our panda hero teaches a class of kung fu students using lessons learned by his martial-arts colleagues. Other extras on the DVD and Blu-ray releases include commentary, cast interviews and instructional activities for kids ranging from how to draw the characters to how to use chopsticks. Single DVD, $29.99; two-disc DVD set, $34.98; Blu-ray, $39.99. (Paramount)
Jared Oprah is the one who said that angelina is the love of his life not drunken Pitt

It’s interesting that “Changeling” went into wide release on Halloween because amid the standard monster and slasher flicks offered this time of year, this is a horror story in that is it based on the true account of a woman who not only was traumatized by the ultimate terror a parent can endure - a missing child - but also abused by those in authority who demonized her and seriously violated her rights.
Angelina Jolie may again be in the running for an Academy Award for her portrayal of Christine Collins in “Changeling,” a single mother living in Los Angeles in 1928 when her son, Walter, disappeared. Directed by Clint Eastwood, “Changeling” follows the terrible plight of Christine that led to one of many publicity black eyes suffered by the Los Angeles Police Department in its rocky history.
“Changeling” is a story of vindication and the toppling of abusive power (although the LAPD did come out on the losing end of the subsequent hearings, the results really were only slaps on the wrist). Eastwood pulls out all the stops at making the viewer angry. People doing serious harm to other people just to save face is indeed seed for rage. Donovan’s portrayal of the evil police captain is chilling - here is a man willing to destroy the life of a person he is supposed to protect and serve.
“Changeling” does offer a good cop in the LAPD, Det. Lester Ybarra (Michael Kelly), who defies Capt. Jones and pushes on with an investigation of the murder of the boys that eventually helps break the case.

From the beginning, Lower Ninth residents insisted to Make It Right planners that they should be part of rebuilding their community and have given their input during monthly meetings throughout the process. A job-training program in construction skills will put some of them to work building the houses.
Pitt attended nearly all of the early meetings, Guy says. “He was there – sometimes him and his old lady [Angelina Jolie], too, and all their kids,” she recalls.
Guy’s new two-story home, which stands on her original lot on Tennessee Street, resembles a traditional New Orleans shotgun house, but stands eight feet off the ground for flood protection and incorporates such “green” building technology as rooftop solar panels and energy-efficient appliances. To be eligible for Make It Right, residents must have owned their own home in the neighborhood before Katrina made landfall. With the average house costing between $100,000 and $174,000, most homeowners are contributing insurance payments on their previous homes, federal grants received through the Road Home program, and savings. Make It Right also offers forgivable loans of as much as $100,000 for residents whose own funds fall short.
papz always find Pitt even in holloween but not angelina

Oscar Buzz: Where Does it Start?
It’s barely November, yet movie critics are already obsessed with Oscar contenders.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122601717105106935.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
Hmmm a one-eyed Tiny Tom in a Hitler movie For the Holidays. This should get fug face infamous juices flowing. The troll loves him some Sci Fi man. Watch out Will.
Can Hollywood deliver the goods this holiday season for an economically drained, election-weary public?
To lure filmgoers, movie studios have spent the past few weeks rearranging release schedules for their holiday films to avoid bruising matchups and find weekends without too much competition. The end-of-year period includes some epics — including Paramount Pictures’ “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and Twentieth Century Fox’s “Australia” — which will test the public’s appetite for drama on a very large scale.
Fox’s “Australia,” meanwhile, features Aussies Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in a love story that takes place at the outbreak of World War II. It’s directed by Baz Luhrmann (”Moulin Rouge”), who has never tackled a film this big or this expensive — “Australia” cost more than $130 million to make. Also on the serious side: United Artists’ “Valkyrie,” an oft-delayed thriller starring Tom Cruise as a one-eyed German Army officer who tried to kill Adolf Hitler during World War II.
Now that’s really-really hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scum of the earth… despite what you think of Jen, he still cheated on her when they were married.

Good Morning all and the Troll still on the clock. Got to work those smears and lies in for the next Rag story. BP owns the troll. Check out Changeling this weekend. AJ gives an amazing performance. She carries the movie. I am also looking forward to seeing the Benjamin Button Movie. The troll has an agenda, a poorly executed one. However, it is on a mission. BP and AJ are simply living their lives and performing their professional oblations. Hate on haters. Whiny is still with Peeboy. Happy TGIF and don’t let the troll bite. Thanks for all the sexy pictures of Papa Pitt Just Jared. He is rocking the stache and coat.
# 64 excuses @ 11/07/2008 at 7:58 am papz always find Pitt even in holloween but not angelina

———————————–
eerrrr…..its the way how he protects his babies momma and kiddoz..
oops performing their obligations. Peace to all.
I miss seeing Angie. I really like seeing her more then Brad. Sending out love to Angie and kids.
Brad is dressed up, must be doing runs to promote movie. Wonder who he met at the Mercel? Time will tell. This is funny because the trolls said that he flew back to Berlin. Goes to show that Angie and Brad are doing a good job to throw off the papz. They are like “Where is Waldo”. Angie is not with Brad due to him make short trips to promote movie. It is easier for him to move around without bringing the whole family. He will be back with family soon.
Wow, the troll has selective memory. We have seen a great deal of AJ when she was promoting Changeling. Mama Angie was the toast of New York and is garnering raves for Changeling. BP is merely doing his duties and promoting the Oscar buzz Benjamin Button Movie. He cannot help it that he has on-line stalkers.
pussycat doll @ 11/07/2008 at 1:59 am wheres angie and the kids? I think angie is in france right..
—————————–
yeah,she’s in france waiting for the bacon.
Greetings fans.. Brad Pitt looks better without the hat, dare I say. They must have something planned for thanksgiving (out of country trip - not germany) so he is making sure to complete the promos right now.The IB movie must require him to be in Berlin in Dec so the family is enjoying their stay here as much as they can.
Also, does Angelina not have to stay in the US a certain amount of time (domicile) for adoption.
Exclusive: Inside Brad Pitt’s Interview With Oprah
As promised, here’s our exclusive coverage of Brad Pitt’s first interview with Oprah Winfrey at Harpo Studios in Chicago Wednesday since his split from the Talk Show Queen’s BFF Jennifer Aniston. The Boots Girls went the extra mile to score tickets to the show and we spare no detail about the, at times, slightly awkward interview.
Pitt filmed the show to promote his new movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, with his co-star Cate Blanchett.
Brad did most of his interview solo at the beginning of the taping and the first order of business Oprah brought up was the Obama victory rally that they both attended separately in Grant Park the night before.
“I would have invited you out with me to the rally last night,” Oprah immediately told Brad when he sat down for the interview. “But I was down with the people and I didn’t think you would want to be.”
However, Brad reassured her that he was down with the people also as he rode the CTA to the park. “I took the tram, shoulder to shoulder,” he told Oprah.
The topic of his lady love Angelina Jolie and their six children together came up often during their conversation. Oprah acknowledged to Brad that Angelina is the love of his life and she asked if this is the happiest he’s ever been.
“Dare I say,” Brad said.
“Dare I see,” Oprah said implying this is the happiest she’s seen him.
Not surprisingly, Oprah also asked Brad if he wanted to have more children.
“Probably,” he said. “It’s [parenthood] the greatest endeavor I’ve ever taken on. Why stop now?”
However, not everyone in the studio shared that same sentiment. When Blanchett later came on stage during the taping and realized that Brad and Angelina have six children and counting, she turned to Brad and said “sick”. The Boots girls honestly don’t know if Cate, who has three children of her own, was complimenting or contemplating Brad’s decision!
Although, Brad did also say that he can only handle being left alone with four of his children at a time and that they are the “funniest people”.
We’d have to agree! He revealed that Shiloh is in a stage right where she will only respond to the names John and Peter! Ha! Pax, on the other hand, wasn’t so funny a while back when Brad put him in timeout and he rebelled by peeing on the timeout chair. Now that’s something to say “sick” about!
On a random note, Blanchett surprisingly told the audience that the act of spooning is very important when looking for your mate. “Your bodies need to fit perfectly together,” she said.
We never expected that to come from her mouth — the audience and The Boots Girls were laughing out loud!
Brad noticeably closed up when a woman asked him a question about his tattoos via an O satellite. He refused to visibly expose or even talk about any of them. He said that it was a personal matter and recommended that the audience members share the experience of getting a tatoo with someone they love.
When both Cate and Brad were asked from another viewer via satellite what their favorite meals are they both agreed that they go through phases. After Oprah hassled them, Cate settled on a bowl of rice and Brad said Indian food. Seriously, rice? I think we now know Cate’s diet secret, yikes!
Finally, Oprah busted out the W issue Angelina recently graced the cover of with a photo that Brad took. Brad said that he loves working with Angelina and that he did the photos to promote his movie. He also said that most of Angelina’s photo shoots portray her as “femme fatale”, but in actuality she is very sweet. We’ve met Angie and we can second that!
Overall, we have to say that the interview was definitely a little awkward at first especially when Angelina was initially brought up. During the commercial breaks there were awkward silences and Brad fidgeted in his seat a lot too.
“It seems like he has ADD, because he’s antsy and has to move around a lot,” as one fellow audience member put it.
However, it definitely did seem like Oprah was trying to mend her relationship with Brad. She apologized for not inviting him out on election night and by the end of the interview it seemed as though any hard feelings she may have had for Brad were thrown out the door.
Oprah praised Brad several times throughout the taping and when the show wrapped, she walked off stage with her arms wrapped around him. O was clearly still feeling the love from election night!
The movie comes out on Christmas day and from what we saw, it looks great. The producers were in the audience and said they have been working on the script for 18 years!
The interview is scheduled to air on Oprah on Nov. 18 so set your DVRs now!

Red hot papa. And he’s all Angie’s, trolls. HW royalty. Fug can’t get her movies released and AJ is compared to Kathryn Hepburn and M. Streep/Bette Davis. Gee, too bad AJ didn’t start her career with a sit-com,,,,it could be over already rather than just starting a real ascent.
Oh yes. Now that is what you call a man. Angie is a blessed lady. I love this couple. What a precious family. You can tell Jennifer and her sick fans have not moved on with their pathetic lives after all these years.
