Brad Pitt is Impervious to Poo, Snot, Urine and Vomit

Aniston and huvane are going to be p*ssed by the 9% they’ve worked so hard.

What Angelina does is ignore the tiny % of people who buy tabs,she is the master at that.She knows there are millions and millions of people who are intelligent and strong who dont buy the tabs,those people are looking for role models who want to change and make a difference in the world,they are people who want to watch roles played by strong women which Angelina does very well,look at the movies she’s doing and look at the number of women turning up to see her movies.

Look at the number of people and countries who follow her humanitarian work,before Angelina haters only knew about Mexico now they research about Africa,Asia and the world over .Look at the number of people who bought the twins cover.It has left people like BROOKE from NYT scratching their heads because in 4 years Angelina is more powerful than ever,All the negative has made her a bigger star.Brooke should be ashamed.They have tried everything but she keeps rising up.LIKE BRAD SAID SHE’S GOT AN
INEXHAUSTABLE SPIRIT.she simply lives her life.

Angelina doesn’t loose sleep over tab readers,those people will all believe in tabs so why waste time on them.Jen on the oher hand tries very hard to please the tab readers which isn’t doing anything for her career.Jen buys tabs every week and she plans her life around what is written in them.

Let’s see…

Perfect Partner - Check

And…AND She does all this with a smile on her face when the thought of having a family and a career sends others spinning

((()BRAVO ANGELINA JOLIE, BRAVO)))))

Seriously, how can I be like her when I grow up? LOL.

By the way, it is funny how the article potrays BP, who has over 20 yrs experience in the business and has be described many times as a very business savvy person, who can negotiate with the best of them, as just a zombie like witness in all of it. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against this larger than life AJ image they are painting, it’s just that I want both of ‘em to be larger than life, ya know. I want them to be potrayed as so much more than the pedestrian celebrity….is that too much to ask? No? Thank you! :)

One more thing, isn’t it ironic that some people will KILL…throw their own mama under a bus to be seen larger than life, yet AJ does it without hurting a fly. You gotta love it!!!!!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!!!!

AJ is a strong independent woman and many find that threatening. She is not your whiny weak narcissistic PR manufactured woman.

Emotional Jolie takes no prisoners

By Liam Allen
Entertainment reporter, BBC News

The excitement in the room is palpable.

The buzz, which manifests itself as lively chatter, is not one usually associated with experienced and sometimes cynical journalists.

And with the star of the show apparently running late, all eyes turn to the door each time it opens - only to be disappointed by the sight of late colleagues rather than a late Angelina Jolie.

The 33-year-old is in London to promote new film Changeling - the harrowing true story of Christine Collins whose son, Walter, went missing in Los Angeles in 1928.

When the press conference - at the swanky Claridge’s hotel - eventually begins, Jolie explains that “the hardest thing” about playing Collins was that the character is relatively passive.

As a mum, it was horrible and I had my kids with me as much as possible at work and, after doing the day at work, I would just run home and I just wanted to be silly

Angelina Jolie on Changeling

Jolie’s tears for her late mother

“I couldn’t relate to it,” says Jolie, suggesting her reputation as a tough cookie is not too wide of the mark.

But within seconds, Jolie - looking stunning in a plain dark olive green jumper - is fighting back tears.

And the journalists have their story.

She pauses to compose herself as she explains how she based her performance on her “really, really sweet” actress mother, Marcheline Bertrand - who died last year.

It is this softer, emotional side of Jolie that pervades the rest of the press conference as she talks affectionately about her family.

‘Very goofy’

Jolie says Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood, was “a very hard film for all of us to make”.

Jolie is being tipped for a best actress Oscar for Changeling

The movie, which is being tipped for best picture and best actress Oscars, tells the story of Collins’s fight for the truth after police officers return a different child to her, claiming it is her son.

When she tries to force them to admit they have the wrong boy and to resume the search, she is thrown into a psychiatric ward.

“As a mum, it was horrible and I had my kids with me as much as possible at work and, after doing the day at work, I would just run home and I just wanted to be silly.

“It was so emotional that I found myself just being very, very goofy.”

She says her four-month old twins, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, are “upstairs - hopefully sleeping”.

‘Wrapping presents’

Asked if she and the other half of Hollywood’s most famous couple, Brad Pitt, plan to expand their family - which already numbers six children - Jolie replies: “Sure you can.”
Jolie says she and Pitt are looking forward to “doing the stockings”

A big family Christmas is planned in the “Brangelina” household, she says.

“We’re usually exhausted by Christmas Eve.

“We love it - it’s that fun of sitting up in the middle of the night and wrapping the presents together and doing the stockings and all that kind of stuff.

“It’s kind of the best thing about being a mom and dad.”

Such is the graceful emotion exuded by Jolie that, when a journalist asks how she is feeling in herself after the recent “extremes” of losing her mother and giving birth to twins, she actually thanks him for asking.

But anyone who thinks she has lost her edge should think again.

Jolie won the best supporting actress Oscar for Girl, Interrupted in 2000

The same press man’s follow-up question is met with an icy stare.

“There was a lot of focus on how thin you looked during the shooting of the film and in the film. I just wondered if you’re healthier now?” he asks.

“I think that’s an odd question,” she replies simply.

As the press conference goes on, it can only be a matter of time before someone asks Jolie the killer question - how does she respond to Jennifer Aniston’s claims that she romanced Pitt while he was still married to the Friends actress?

Whoever asks it may well get the cold shoulder from an actress who clearly takes no prisoners.

But the chance of taking the prize of a headline-grabbing retort back to editors is surely too good to miss. Isn’t it?

No-one dares ask.

Angelina Jolie almost turned down her latest film role because the subject – the kidnapping of a child and a woman’s betrayal – was too painful for her as a mother. But, as she tells Steve Pratt, she became fascinated by the story.

BEING a mother, Angelina Jolie found her latest screen role – playing a woman whose nine-year-old son goes missing – one of the toughest of her career.

Shooting the scene when she reports the child’s absence was the most difficult in the movie. “It’s such a serious fear, especially for any parent, that you just don’t want to physically do it,” she explains. “You don’t want to go up to a phone, pick it up and report a missing child. It’s horrible. So that was hard to do.”

The latest addition to Jolie’s own ever-growing family, twins Knox and Vivienne, are upstairs – “hopefully asleep” – while their mother talks about the Clint Eastwood-directed movie, Changeling, downstairs at London’s Claridges hotel.

She doesn’t say if her other half, actor Brad Pitt, is babysitting but, unlike other Hollywood A-listers, hasn’t sent advance word that personal questions will not be tolerated. If she thinks someone is overstepping the mark, she’s quite capable of dealing with it. How’s your health, someone asks, mentioning comments about how thin she looks in the movie.

“I don’t think that’s a question,” she says calmly, putting the lid on further inquiries of that nature. But she’s happy to talk about the family that she and Pitt have. In addition to the twins, there are two-yearold Shiloh and three adoptive children, Maddox, Pax and Zahara.

That’s unlikely to be the end of it. Can we expect to see her family expanding further? “I’m sure you can,”

she smiles.

Jolie has never been one to hide behind a publicist, perhaps being too honest for her own good. Interviews don’t only mention her work as a UN ambassador, but dredge up old quotes about her sex, drugs and rock’n’roll past.

She’s dressed in grey top and trousers with black boots. Her make-up is restrained and subtle, as befits the serious film about which she’s talking. Changeling is based on the true story of Christine Collins whose son went missing in 1928. Five months later the police returned a boy to her – that she knew wasn’t her son. The corrupt police department was hoping for good publicity by reuniting mother and son.

Things get curious at “Button” screening
Fri Nov 21, 2008 2:59am EST

By Steven Zeitchik

NEW YORK (Billboard) - One of the first major industry screenings of David Fincher’s highly anticipated romance “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” was halted shortly into the film because of technical difficulties Thursday.

From practically the start, the print featured colors that appeared to be off, and about a half hour into the screening, the projection stopped.

The film’s cinematographer, Claudio Miranda, stood up to apologize to the audience of awards voters and media. He explained that a channel was out, leading to the incorrect colors. The movie had an unusually brown and grainy look.

He and others then worked for about a half hour to get the color corrected, as images stopped and started on the screen, but they were unable to restore the correct look of the film. Miranda also called Fincher, who was not in the theater, and the two agreed to halt the screening.

“I talked to David about it tonight and I don’t think anyone should see it like that,” he said.

The crowd then filed into the lobby at the Directors Guild of America’s headquarters for a previously scheduled reception.

While there were several other screenings of the Paramount film throughout the day, the DGA-set screening, which was to feature a talk from Fincher, was the first major unveiling; a number of critics were in the room.

The screening was rescheduled, with a Fincher talk, for noon on Saturday on the Paramount lot.

The movie is one of the big awards hopefuls and a sizable bet for Paramount. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett star in the adaptation of an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story about a man who ages backward.

Cross currents buffet Oscar campaigns

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Awards season can sometimes feel like Thanksgiving dinner: it brings people together, but it’s fraught with competing allegiances.

This year, the campaign could feature some especially knotty entanglements. With directors increasingly detouring to other lots and a dissolved relationship between two companies, the race is shaping up as a showcase for Hollywood politics almost as much as it is a place to honour movies.

Two studios will of course be competing to share the limelight with Clint Eastwood. One Eastwood contender, “Gran Torino,” comes from Warners, a studio that does a lot of Clint business and thus has incentive to show him support. That partly explains why the studio has taken out best picture ads even before most voters have seen the movie.

But it doesn’t end there. Eastwood’s other film, “Changeling,” comes from Universal, where he doesn’t typically work. But the studio won’t shortchange the film — it comes from Universal uber-producer Imagine, which the studio also has an interest in keeping happy. And if that’s not complicated enough, Universal has to balance its “Changeling” efforts with those for another strong contender, “Frost/Nixon,” which likewise is produced by — guess who — Imagine.

Across town, another plotline is developing.

Paramount has a pair of major contenders in David Fincher’s romantic-fable “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and in Sam Mendes’ broken-marriage drama “Revolutionary Road” (released under its Paramount Vantage label). Over the past week, both films have begun rolling out to voters and tastemakers. (Q&As and guild screenings began last weekend for “Revolutionary Road”; “Button” was unveiled Thursday at an L.A. screening in which Fincher participated.)

But the movies have very different histories. “Button” was cultivated on the Paramount lot, with a director and a star (Brad Pitt) who have ongoing Paramount relationships. “Road” is a DreamWorks project; that studio jumpstarted it and Mendes, a director associated with DreamWorks, directed it.

The recent DreamWorks-Paramount separation could leave Paramount in a tricky spot. Like all studios, it wants to deploy its resources on movies with the best chance to win. At the same time, it will also have to avoid any perception that it is favouring the home-grown “Button” over DreamWorks’ “Road” (and “Road” producer Scott Rudin

United for ‘Changeling’
ANATOMY OF A CONTENDER: Clint Eastwood sought to make ‘a real woman’s film’ out of a true horror story with ‘Changeling.’
By Todd Longwell

Behind the scenes
A Changeling is a being in Western European folklore, usually described as the offspring of a fairy or other legendary creature that has been secretly left in the place of a human child.

The diner where the bogus Walter Collins is found in the film is named Bummy’s in tribute to Clint Eastwood’s longtime production designer Henry “Bummy” Bumstead, who died in 2006 at age 91. But the actor playing the cook in the scene, J.P. Bumstead, is no relation.

The town of Wineville changed its name to Mira Loma in 1930 in an effort to distance itself from the negative publicity generated by the trial at the center of the film.

The film’s final scene was shot in front of the same building on the Universal lot where Eastwood delivered his “Do you feel lucky, punk?” speech in 1971’s “Dirty Harry.” It was destroyed by fire in June.
A few years ago, J. Michael Straczynski, a one-time journalist who had become an established writer on television shows like “Babylon 5,” got a call from an old source at Los Angeles City Hall. They were burning old records, the man said, and there was something he should see before it got tossed into the incinerator.

Straczynski rushed downtown, where he was handed a transcript of a City Council welfare hearing in the long-forgotten case of Christine Collins, a single mother whose 9-year-old son Walter went missing in 1928.

“I was astonished to see what had happened, what this woman had endured,” he says.

After five months of waiting, Collins was notified by the Los Angeles Police Department that they had located Walter in Illinois. But when she met the child, she declared that he was not her son, but somehow the authorities persuaded her to take him home. When she demanded the police resume the search for her son, she was locked away in the mental ward of Los Angeles County Hospital.

The minute Clint said he was interested, I immediately called Angelina and she said, ‘That does it. I’m in,’ ” Grazer says.

From there, Eastwood’s team at Warner Bros.-based Malpaso Prods., led by producer Rob Lorenz, quickly put together a budget and a schedule, approved by Universal in March 2007.

At first, there was concern about Straczynski’s script. At about 150 pages, it was 30 pages too long by Hollywood standards. Straczynski broached the subject in a meeting with Eastwood.

“We sat down and talked about the background of the film and how I got the information,” Straczynski recalls. “Finally, I asked if there was anything he wanted changed. And he looked me right in the eye, and that’s when I realized, ‘Oh, my God, this is Clint Eastwood.’ And he said, ‘Look. I’ve had a lot of calls about this script. People love it. My job is not to screw it up. We’re going to shoot it as it is.’”

With the script locked, Eastwood moved rapidly through preproduction. The biggest challenge was re-creating Los Angeles of the 1920s. Most of the places where the real events occurred had either been blighted or replaced by more modern structures, so production designer James Murakami and his team spread out over Southern California in search of workable locales.

One for the hens

Poor needy pathetic desperate Jen

How did Jennifer Aniston, once America’s Sweetheart, morph into America’s Spinster?

Poor needy pathetic desperate Jen

Vogue editor Anna Wintour knows how to sell magazines, which explains the “What Angelina Did Was Very Uncool” line on the cover of the December issue next to Jennifer Aniston’s face. The quote was lifted from an interview in which the former Friends star was asked about Angelina Jolie’s gushing to the magazine in 2007 about falling in love with Brad Pitt while he was still hitched to her. Playing Aniston’s first public comment about Jolie so boldly was a master stroke destined to generate epic buzz.

For Aniston, though, the incident ushered in yet another of the “Poor Jen! Duped again!” moments that have dogged her since her 2005 divorce from Pitt. Not only did Vogue exploit Aniston’s tepid smackdown, making her appear obsessed with the siren who stole her husband, it squared the two women off against one another more subtly. Astute fashionistas were quick to note that the cover image of Aniston posed on a beach in a cleavage-displaying, off-the-shoulder, red Narciso Rodriguez gown echoed the cover shot of Jolie in January 2007 in which she rocked a cleavage-displaying, off-the-shoulder, red Bill Blass against a sandy backdrop. Jolie’s cover line, however, was a more triumphant “Why Her Real Life is More Romantic Than Any Movie.” The disparity continued inside: in 2007, Jolie was shown with Pitt and their numerous children; in the current issue, Aniston is pictured with her dog Norman.

As the press conference goes on, it can only be a matter of time before someone asks Jolie the killer question - how does she respond to Jennifer Aniston’s claims that she romanced Pitt while he was still married to the Friends actress?

Whoever asks it may well get the cold shoulder from an actress who clearly takes no prisoners.

But the chance of taking the prize of a headline-grabbing retort back to editors is surely too good to miss. Isn’t it?

No-one dares ask.

I CAN’T BELIEVE THE BBC WANT CONTINUE THE TRIANGLE.

anyhoo lol at this :-
