Brad Pitt: Happy Birthday, Pax!
USA Today has a great new article on Brad Pitt and David Fincher, the director for their upcoming age-reversing film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Here are two of the most interesting paragraphs from said piece:
“To play Button as a senior citizen, [Brad] had to be caked in makeup and wear prosthetic noses and scalps. For much of the movie, he abandons his own body entirely, providing a face and voice that are digitally imposed on other actors including a dwarf, a disabled man and children of all ages.”
“The [Button] set was placed on ‘Pitt Patrol.’ There were body doubles and decoy cars. Pitt’s driver never crossed an intersection when it turned green. He waited for it to turn yellow to leave law-abiding photographers at the red light, though few obeyed the signal.”
Check out the full article at USAToday.com. Button opens on Christmas Day.
Today is Pax Jolie-Pitt’s 5th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAX!!!

Hello to all JP fans!
Random observations:
Wonder how they are celebrating Pax’s birthday…
Would love to see some new pics of the kids (babies too)
Talk to you soon!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAX
TSE — What do the Cruises have to do with this? They don’t even hang out with them and your comment on a website isn’t going to affect what these celebs do.
happy sunday roast!everyone.
Liz:
But it’s sorta interesting that Tom and Brad did a movie and never ended up being friends…..says a lot about Tom ’cause everybody loves Brad, those that interview him, work with him, meet him or are blessed by his charitable deeds. Tom, just no warm and fuzzies there. Most guys Brad worked with remained friends……it’s obvious he has no ego, is smart, humble and has a great sense of humour. I suspect Tom is the divo.
D.Kay — No, what is interesting is how feeble-minded people like you will eat up anything. Just because they aren’t friends doesn’t mean it’s the doing of either of them. How does it say a lot about Tom? It could say a lot about either. Everyone loves Brad? LMAO!!! No, that is your sole opinion. You can’t know the opinion of everyone. Anyone can say anything about Brad or any celeb and idiots like you will eat it up. You don’t know Tom or Brad to say who is the nicer person. Most guys? Yes, and you know him personally to say who he is friends with? The opinion of Tom not being warm and fuzzy is yours along with Brad having no ego or being smart, humble and having a great sense of humor. I suspect that you should get out more rather than talking about these celebs like you know them or saying they are a divo. It is obvious that you will believe anything. Sad.
OMG super HOT stills from button!!!

And before you say anything. I’m not a big fan of either one of them. I just find obsessive fans like you to be hilarious! And I don’t want to argue I just was saying you can’t judge any of these celebs without knowing them personally to know what they are really like and not what they want people to believe about them.

Changeling performing well in UK
Also in the U.K., “Changeling,” director Clint Eastwood’s period drama starring Angelina Jolie, debuted No. 3 with $1.9 million from 349 locations, the best opening for a Clint Eastwood-directed title in the market. Overall weekend for “Changeling” produced $4.4 million from 1,040 situations in five markets.

“Changeling” is a passionate movie, staring Angelina Jolie, that tugs at the heart strings to any viewer engaged in the story. One is put through an emotional rollercoaster as they witness the film that was construed based on the Wineville Chicken Murders” that took place in Riverside County, California.
The film opens with Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) being called into work, and having to leave her son, Walter, home by himself housed with only the problem that she’ll be home by dark. Upon her return, she finds that her son is missing, and immediately calls in a report to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
After five, painful months, the LAPD contacted her with the notion that they had found her child, stranded somewhere in Illinois. Rushing to the train station with aspirations of being reuniting with her son, Collins was met by a child that resembled Walter, but was definitely not her son.
“Changeling” is based on a true story and is one that explores the conspiracies and unethical behavior of the LAPD and their effects and influence on the Los Angelos community. Packed with immense drama and some unsettling scenes, viewers are transported back into a time when women were thrown into the Psyche Ward just for confronting and challenging the police.
I’ll admit that I was hooked from the beginning, and while the movie lasts two hours and twenty minutes, it kept my attention the entire time. In fact, I don’t think I moved off the edge of my seat when the credits started to fill the screen.
I greatly recommend this movie to anyone seeking a good story with an exceptional plot. Jolie skillfully delivers a stifling performance that will bring you to tears, as you witness first hand the atrocities that our world has been through and endured. If you have a taste for justice, then this is the perfect movie to become engrossed in.

WASHINGTON, DC.- Photographers Katy Grannan, Jocelyn Lee, Ryan McGinley, Steve Pyke, Martin Schoeller and Alec Soth are featured in the National Portrait Gallery’s fourth installation of “Portraiture Now.” This series presents some of the most creative 21st-century portrait artists. The current installation, titled “Feature Photography,” identifies six critically acclaimed fine-art photographers who also have pursued editorial assignments for a variety of popular publications. The exhibition will be on view in six rooms on the first floor of the museum through Sept. 27, 2009.
Several sitters are instantly recognizable to viewers, including presidential candidates Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama and actors Angelina Jolie and Jack Nicholson, all by Schoeller; musician Billy Joel and actor Forest Whitaker by Grannan; musician Steven Morrissey (known primarily as Morrissey) by McGinley; Chinua Achebe, Henry Kissinger and Norman Mailer by Pyke. The artists all have different takes on how to portray people through photographs:

Angelina Jolie’s Photograph at the National Portrait Gallery
Martin Schoeller
Martin Schoeller has exhibited his portraits internationally and has received numerous awards. His photographs have appeared in many prominent magazines, including the New Yorker, Gentleman’s Quarterly (GQ), Vanity Fair, and Rolling Stone.
One of several photographs Martin Schoeller has shot of Angelina Jolie for Entertainment Weekly, this image was not published by the magazine. However, Schoeller’s portrait, which has appeared elsewhere, captures the actress’s legendary beauty, and suggests, through Jolie’s focused eyes and firm expression, the energy and determination that has enabled her to combine raising a large family with a demanding professional life.

Unravel The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Updated November 30, 2008 12:00 AM
“I was born under unusual circumstances.” And so begins Warner Bros.’ new romantic drama “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
Adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, “Benjamin Button” tells the story of a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: A man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time.
We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher (“Seven,” “Zodiac”) and also starring Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, “Benjamin Button,” is a grand tale of a not so ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
The film’s screenplay is by Eric Roth (“Forrest Gump”), while the screen story is by Roth and Robin Swicord (“Memoirs of a Geisha”). Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Ceán Chaffin are the producers.

Liz,
You dont want to argue? You could have fooled me with that diatribe at #106. :roll: You could have shown that you disagreed with D.Kay without calling her “feeble minded people”, and “idiots”.
Happy Birthday to Pax.
Any pics of the family where were they for Thanksgiving?
Diatribe? No, it was called the truth. Sorry if you can’t take it. :rolleyes:
No, I don’t want to argue and just type my opinion. And yes you’re right, but since she had the nerve to call someone else an idiot for a different opinion, she could handle it.
Thanks for the info. It is a good thing I already subscribe to Architectural Digest or I would hunt that sucker down. I am glad that the issue with BP will focus on the MIR Project.

Happy Birthday Pax and big hello to JP fans. I hope Thanksgiving Hoilday was good for all of you. I can’t wait for TCCOBB.
Anyways, before this turns into something more…
Happy Birthday to his son Pax.
Funny, when people call out Liz on her rant & opinion she keeps on responding. Voice your opinion …fine. But if you keep justifying your opinion you lose credibility & it proves only that Liz is a hater in disguise. Admit it. “Infamous” much??
Geez I meant Holiday.
Good article JJ.
#120,
Liz,
It seems you are spoiling for a fight, but you are not getting it from me. There is nothing for me “to take” or not, since your incendiary comments weren’t directed at me. I answered you because your reply was soooo inflammatory, especially seeing you are not a fan of either, :roll: Right!!
