Brad Pitt: I Have An Unusual Family

Brad Pitt: I Have An Unusual Family

Brad Pitt joins CNN’s Larry King on Wednesday to chat about his family, his latest movie, and his continued efforts to help rebuild New Orleans, Louisiana.

On how his kids keep him young (or not): I have so many. No, man, it wears you out. Are you kidding? I’m aging fast.

On why his family draws such attention: It’s quite complimentary. But, you know–and I think it is an interesting family. It’s not your usual family… I’m quite interested in my family, actually, so, I don’t–I certainly don’t see it as anything less than a compliment.

On having more children: I don’t know. I can’t find a reason why not–just yet.

On President-elect Barack Obama: Oh, man. I think, overnight, we redefined what America’s about. I couldn’t be any happier and more hopeful for the–for America, for the upcoming–in the upcoming years.

On the new moustache: (Joking) It’s political, Larry. It’s political. I’m making a stand for men with moustaches. I don’t think they get treated fairly… I’m currently in Berlin [Germany] now, filming a Quentin Tarantino film. And I am a man with a moustache.

Check out the video of Larry King’s interview of Brad Pitt inside…

Yay for the man in the moustache!

Thanks for the video and highlights from the interview. BP and the MIR Project are doing some good work in New Orleans. The houses that are being built are unique concepts with the flavor of New Orleans. The Benjamin Button Movie is getting raves and I am looking forward to seeing it.

Still hot and sexy!

You know, it certainly makes me conscious of how much time do I have left. Do I — you know, is this my day? Do I have 40 years left? What do I want to do in that time? How do I want to use it? And who do I want to spend it with?

Obviously you did not comprehend the interview or the concept behind the Benjamin Button Movie. Life is short and it is what you make. You can spend 24/7 on a blog whining about someone out their making a difference or you can get out there and live a purposeful life. No one knows how long we have on this earth and It is up to us to make the best of it or you can whine.

Neleh, stop with the I mean no harm. No harm was taken. Girl you are the sweetest.

alexanderina, I have been gone almost all day and the same trolls are still here talking bs. I don’t understand the need to respond to them. Everyone with a half a brain know Lainey, TC and the trolls who plop their sorry azzs here all day long everyday don’t know a d*mn thing.

If Brad has his hand on Angie’s booty it is a pr trick. If he talks about her it is a pr trick. Who says a man or a woman has to talk about their other half every time they open their mouth. It is a very subjective thing. Brad and Angie do what they want. They play the interview by ear.

These trolls are not worth the paper on the soles of Brad’s or Angie’s shoes. Fans should ignore them. But for some reason some fans just love to engage them. Which just encourages them to continue on in their maddness. Remember fans can only win by ignoring them. Peace

I love his interviews. His laugh is so sexy! Love when he talks about his kids. Can’t wait to see the movie.

Great interview.

Obviously Brad didn’t want to spend the rest of his life with jenhag. That’s why he dumped her. He chose Angie and they built this beautiful family.

alexanderina @ 12/03/2008 at 10:06 pm

Thanks Jared for the new thread. It was a great interview

Brad we JPs are so Proud of you. Love the Interview.Thanku Jared.

Another Gushing Review for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

By Ryan Parsons

If only because I think the story sounds neat and the trailers incredibly cool, I have been anxiously waiting for both media updates on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button along with the film’s theatrical release. With the month now here, I have also begun following the early reviews of the film closely as well and, to my relief, they all have (so far) been positive.

The latest review to surface is gushing and, if you’re not hyped on the idea of aging backwards already, this could get you in theaters during opening week.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Reviewed

The good people at AICN have posted a new review for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button that not only compares it to others you might have seen, but also gives it a big thumbs up.

… the film rests on the shoulders of two actors above all others. Cate Blanchett has long since proven herself to be a versatile talent, but part of what she does so well is vanish into her characters. Here, she’s playing a role that doesn’t really offer much in the way of camouflage. Playing Daisy across the span of her whole life, Blanchett has to impart the stages in this girl’s evolution, and she does it with delicacy and real wisdom. Towards the end of the film, as Benjamin reaches childhood, her work just becomes devastating. She and Pitt have an amazing rapport, and his role, which is so technically demanding, could have easily swallowed him whole. But over the years, Pitt’s proven that he’s at his best when he’s being challenged, and he does the best work of his career here. Moving, human, and heartbreaking, he makes Benjamin Button into a real person, not just a novelty.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is that rare film that manages to encompass the whole of the human experience in a mere two and a half hours, and I feel like I saw it at the right moment in my life. It’s something I’ll return to any number of times in the future, and it’s rich and strange and wonderful enough that I expect I’ll find something fresh in it every time. My profound thanks to every person involved in making this magic live and breathe, and I hope all of you reading this embrace the film the same way when it opens on Christmas day.

The snippet above is obviously from the bottom half of the review. To see the comparisons the report makes, check out the entire review for Benjamin Button at AICN.

GOOD VICTORIA @ 12/03/2008 at 10:09 pm

Love Brad and Angie !!!!!!……..He looks hot with facial hair, or without ……I don’t believe their marriage will end in ” 6 months “….That is ridiculous and stupid…….NUMBER # 7…..So, if we see ANY man holding his wife’s or girlfriends hand, or his hand on her back, do we assume they are after some P.R.?………STUPID !!!!….It really sounds like you are extremely jealous…..What ” madness ” are you talking about ?

german fans @ 12/03/2008 at 10:11 pm

you go brad,may God bless your family.

can we ignore the troll? i mean,he was quick to find the new brad pitt thread.he is a stalker,a really sick one.most of the time he makes up stories,than goes to X thread and says the sweetest thing about her but pretends to be a jolie fan.

“On the new moustache: (Joking) It’s political”

Jared I guess you know how stupid these trolls are so you needed to add Joking in parenthesis.

Hey german fan&Good Victoria.

While intelligent people can often simplify the complex,
a fool is more likely to complicate the simple.

AWWW, so handsome and so interesting. I love watching Brad’s interviews, he is so animated, especially talking about MIR. I love that he is so committed to making it work!!! He must be so fulfilled now, having Angelina in his life, having his beloved kids, having a thriving career and a booming production company, and having his interest in Architecture result in a very interesting and fruitful undertaking.

Thanks for the new thread, Jared!

Rotf Whatever #11 what is your problem? Brad and Angie are obviously happ. They both seem to be a little gun shy about what they say. Look at what happens when they do talk about how much they love each other. It gets turned around and disected and twisted. I am not sure why people can not just let them be and pray that they continue to be happy and make it for their unsual beautiful family.

LMAO. rizty has a new breakup prediction just like all her predictions in the past 4 years. rizty is a laughing stock. :lol:

Brad is doing good work in NOLA.I am so happy for the families who will be recieving new homes.

INSIDER @ 12/02/2008 at 11:26 am

‘oooo’ is the same jealous obsessed US ragazine website troll aka jen hen…who always posts these highly literate yet obviously insanely delusional Angelina hater rants on the US rag site, immediately after US posts a thread on Angelina. This hen has a penchant for doing this just as BRAD appears in public, glowing and happy about his career and life - which tells me this former Hollywood professional (most likely someone who was in Brad’s circle and then wasn’t once he left Aniston) is irrational and unhinged. The most likely culprit is Kristen Hahn, the woman who was let go for participating in Aniston and Huvane’s efforts to destroy Brad. Now she’s unemployed, and pinning her hopes on the least talented TV ‘friend.’ You know the ‘friend’ who sent Maniston the cartoon about harming Angelina - same quack Kristen. The clues are her insistence on haranguing Brad & Angelina about the critically acclaimed A Mighty Heart, the professional industry jealousy just oozes from her pores - she’s close to becoming a danger to herself..her delusions are most evident in her bizarre insistence that the Walmart ninnies (who vote on ‘Team Jen,’ when she and PR flack Huvane deliberately start a faux conflict with Angelina, 4 years and 6 kids later in order to f-ck with Brad), actually MATTER. Pathetic. No thanks Kristen and the ‘collective’ (flacks hired by Huvane) we’ll take the Academy who gave Angelina her OSCAR, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assoc (who gave Angie her 3 Golden Globes including her nomination last year as BEST ACTRESS), Time & Newsweek who consistently have voted her The Most Influential, the UN who has awarded her the UN Global Humanitarian Award, and every peer in Hollywood who adores and is inspired by her, including her fellow SAG actors who nominated her last year as well and have given her two previous SAG awards,and the CCA (Critics Choice Awards - who also nom’d her for Best Actress last year).This insane delusional HW hack & friend of Aniston who is obsessed by Angelina will soon be found out.

Just to clarify since I just finished watching this interview, he responded to (dumb) Larry’s comment about having “so many kids” by repeating it and laughing. Hence: “I have so many”. It was a cute moment and didn’t read right here.

And my God he looked so good. Ange is one lucky lady. It’s so funny how I only started being a Brad fan after he left Maniston. I didn’t really like him before. I didn’t get them as a couple and found them both to be pretty superficial. My opinion of him has really bounced 180. Brad’s a terrific guy. It was there all along.

Thanks Jared!!! He was awesome…I just love this family…nothing or no one can change how much they love each other….

Oh rats, there goes Brad…talking about his family yet again…and even talking about more kids///as usual. hahahaha. Poor, sad trolls. Sorry your theory was once again obliterated trolls. LOLOL :-D Don’t you get tired of that, getting your face rubbed in your own fecal matter (a John mayer move on Jen) time after time after time…you eat crow so often, I’m sure your poo is jet black and can fly. Hahahaha. Can’t wait for the LA premiere and all the others, Brad and Angie all loved up once again making haters heads explode. :-D

Brad: PLEASE help get a playground in the French Quarter!!!!!! I visited with my little kids last year to help the local economy and was shocked that there are no playgrounds in the French Quarter!!!! I called and email all city officials to bring attention and got nowhere!!! Do they really think that no one in the French Quarter has any kids????

Eco-Friendly Playground to be Dedicated to the Children of New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward

- On Make it Right’s One-Year Anniversary, PlayGreen Initiative Brings Together Kellogg Company, KOMPAN and BNIM to Dedicate Kellogg Park, the U.S.’s First Digital, Eco-Friendly Playground -

Dec. 3, 2008
After Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans on August 29, 2005, much of the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans suffered catastrophic flooding and the vast majority of its residents lost their homes. Since the disaster, not a single playground has been built in the area, and the children of this part of New Orleans do not have a proper place to play. The Make it Right Foundation, headed by the actor and activist Brad Pitt, partnering with PlayGreen Initiative, will dedicate Kellogg Park on Wednesday, December 3, 2008, aided by donations from Kellogg’s Corporate Citizenship Fund, KOMPAN, Inc., and BNIM, a leading architectural firm.

Nearly $500,000 worth of equipment, landscaping, and labor/services were donated to the park and playground, including a $300,000 KOMPAN donation in equipment, a $100,000 grant from Kellogg’s Corporate Citizenship Fund and services provided by BNIM Architects and John Williams Architects.

BNIM, a national leader in sustainable design and also one of 12 design firms for the Make it Right Project, designed the overall site, and JWA, a New Orleans architectural firm, served as a local collaborator. Both the equipment and the site are designed using sustainable methods and materials that minimize the impact on the environment while providing exceptional play value and a quality community gathering place. The play space will be constructed in an environmentally sustainable way, using local suppliers, native plantings, and natural means to control water flow, thereby reducing pollution, runoff, and other problems associated with asphalt and more traditional playground design. The playground equipment is constructed using sustainable methods including the use of non-toxic, recyclable and environmentally friendly materials. Solar energy will also be used to power the electronic components on the new equipment.

Plan B working @ 12/03/2008 at 10:32 pm

So, while Angie is being hung out to dry for “exploiting” her personal life for fame and monetary gain, Pitt describes himself as “private and wants to keep things close to his chest”? Who was it who told Oprah about Pax peeing in the timeout chair? Who took pictures of his children and their mother’s T & A for publication in W magazine? (by the way, those were some of the worst pics of Angelina that have ever been taken). All you loons who bought the mag and rhapsodized other the pics clearly suffer from the “emperor is wearing new clothes” syndrome. Again, who was it who fake cried in an interview with Diane Sawyer about having family on his mind? Remember the time he talked about Zee’s horrible diaper rash which he describes as almost disfiguring? I guess privacy means different things to some people
And yet, his role in the twins’ and Shiloh’s photo deal with People was conspicuously missing from the CAA sanctioned hit piece against Angelina. I find that hard to believe from the self proclaimed “zen master” of media. He and Aniston are two peas in a pod, cut from the same cloth.
Poor Angelina. No wonder she’s back to looking gaunt again. I realize she wants her children to grow up with a father unlike the childhood she had, but this can’t be healthy for her. Her kids would be better served with a mum who is happy and fulfilled. As long as she stays with Pitiful, her life is going to be miserable.

Didn’t he say talking about his family in interviews “cheapened” them somehow? That’s all he seems to ever talk about in interviews…

Neleh this is so funny, but so true. You have the best quotes. Peace

A Plea to Jared from FANS @ 12/03/2008 at 10:34 pm

Dear Jared –

I know it pays to be titilating, but since Brad never said what you have as a title: ‘I have an unusual family,’ and since what he actually said, ‘it’s not your usual family,’ - you might want to correct that header.

PLEASE.

Otherwise, you become the number one reason of what Brad was talking about — people twisting his words — this family has their words twisted and mischaracterized enough, with all of the jealous haters, trolls, blogs, tabloids and all sorts of bottom feeders with various agendas misinterpreting what they say.

You owe it to the fans to be accurate - to correctly quote them, and not TRICK people into clicking on, and wondering why in the f*ck would brad say something like THAT??

Turns out, uh…he did NOT.

Can you please, PLEASE not play into the hands of the people who think nothing of putting the wrong words in their mouths, and mischaracterizing them?

It happens too often, to let something even as trivial as your thread title go.

Do us that favor — be accurate.

Please stop making thread titles of things Brad and Angelina did NOT say.

Thank you.

______________________
I think he meant he doesn’t like talking about them because when he does, snippets get taken out of context and turn up on celebrity blogs and tabloids where hateful people dissect and twist them ad infinitum. I would feel bad too if I mentioned something about my son and his name and the story ended up on the cover of a crappy magazine. I would want to protect my children from that, just as Brad does. Otherwise I’m sure he would babble on about them because obviously he loves them all immensely and can hardly help himself.

oh my god again the schizo troll is talking to himself, that’s what happen when you leave your ffugly mental ward in the hater’s place. You are much needed there.

It’s great that Brad has a movie coming out, let´s enjoy the interviews in case they go filming and stay away again.

This must be stupid question but…what is CAA???????

Dear Plan b working….

Since brad owns you, owns Hollywood, is the #1 everything - most admired, most sexy, most hot - has the hottest production company in town, has top directors begging him to be in their movies, has his Hollywood peers, politicians, and everyday folk praising he and Angelina’s philanthropy, has Angelina Jolie and his babies who adore him - and since he dedicated the reason for his MIR project to them (”it was the love of my family that brought me here”) - why oh WHY, dear brain dead idiot - would he need to ‘re-invent,’ himself…???

I mean, does it honestly feel like Brad or Angelina are doing anything wrong to you?? LMAO

As for Oscar…or Golden Globe, or SAG, or CCA, or whatever — he very obviously wasn’t too concerned about that or what leaving Chinnerator, the TV hag would do to his chances….or he wouldn’t have been in TV hell with a sit-com hack for 4 years and not working — especially since that b*tch couldn’t even beat patricia Heaton and SJP at the People’s Choice Awards and Emmys. hahaha

Brad didn’t even work while he was a walking dead man married to maniston - so why are you making him this ambitious salivating career man NOW…any idiot can see that Brad is encouraged to do what he does NOW *BY & BECAUSE* of Angelina, fool.

How did you ‘re-invention,’ theory work when Brad’s publicict kept announcing Angelina’s children were changing their names to Pitt, and that Pitt was adopting them, and that he and Angie were having a baby, then babies, then appearing on every red carpet in the world, then NOT EVER leaving each other’s side for the last 4-5 years…hahahaha….then expressing constantly that he wants soccer teams, and football teams and more kids…and saying the best gift he could ever give his children is Angie as their mother…..then of course Oprah, and this month the adoringly hot and worshipful ‘W,’ shoot….

Yeah, his reinventing himself came when he left the do-nothing shallow tabloid addicted TV sh*tcom hack and pot/cokehead that he was slumming with on the rebound from a breakup…he had to get some street cred, get his MOVIE STAR mojo back….

…enter Angelina Jolie - the most beautiful woman in the world, selfless, authentic, a woman of substance, character, talent, and movie stardom bred into her genes. Falling in love with her, when he did, as unintentional as it may have been during Smith - was the START of the reemergence of the badass Brad Pitt…because some of us had been wondering why in hell Tyler Durden would be with maniston, the boring middle aged UGLIER LESS talented 90’s cheese version of Meredith Baxter Birney…when he had the 2000s version of a hybrid Liz Taylor/Marilyn Monroe who could rock his world and give him everything he desired….

…doing THAT, and becoming part of a philanthropic movie star EMPIRE - building a dynasty…winning best picture (The Departed) critical acclaim for the last 3 years running for both his films, and Angelina’s — critically acclaimed collaborations with his woman (AMH)…

.….heh-heh…wake-up troll…get wise: Brad’s REINVENTION was done and completed, the DAY he announced his OFFICIAL SEPARATION from the UGLY Dustin Hoffman lookalike and TV hack, Jen Aniston.

Get REAL. Hahahahahah!!

reality is this @ 12/03/2008 at 11:00 pm

Angie’s words to Matt Lauer ” I don’t like being away from him (Brad)”.

The real deal is this, Angelina Jolie luvs Brad Pitt and is living a happy luvfilled life with him and their 6 kids. Angie is going nowhere but where ever Brad happens to be, and vice versa. Brad is one happy happy man who luvs taking nightly baths with his Angie.

You know all of these actors are leaving CAA because they’re thinking to themselves, “Jennifer Aniston hasn’t had a hit movie under her own steam EVER…but every time I turn around she’s on the cover of some damned magazine talking about her new start and pimping some cheesy romcom she blackmailed someone into…but CAA can’t get ME any work? Whassup with that shite? Okay…I know 3 out of 4 movies she makes can’t get a distributor…but, still…WHY IS SHE WORKING AND I’M NOT?!! ”

If Brad hadn’t dumped Kevin Huvane for Bryan Lourd…he’d probably have ditched CAA by now, too. Then again…as Brad has said before…he’s never feared not workingn again…

I hear Matthew Broderick and Greg Kinnear are close behind. Robbins was close to leaving CAA in August. But the underutilized actor/director/writer gave them more time. (See my previous, Is Tim Robbins About To Fire CAA?)
_____________________________

Whoohooo. I bet Broderick was pisssed shortly after he realized CAA allowed the no talent TV sit-com hack Maniston to diss his wife’s bread and butter (SITC) just to try an ‘reinvent,’ herself into some idea of a strong “don’t need a man’ female, even though she’s continued the pity party tour for 5 years - and recently took her manic depressive humiliating boytoy BACK after he dumped her in the street in front of dozens of papz, and told why…what a fraud…and here she’s cutting down SITC???

Yeah bet Broderick didn’t like that. I think that was Matthew’s straw. I hope there’s a f**cking mass exodus.

Hey, I may snark on Fishyth, but at least she had the ballz to realize Stephen huvane would rather wipe TV millionaire Maniston’s smelly asss, than do jacksh*t for Fishyth - and so she booked. Got to give her dumb asss props for that at least…

I personally don’t see how any of the true actors can stand the deathstar when it so blatantly plays favorites, and is so subversive an devious for the least talented worthless TV hags around….there are those who are in the know about exactly what Huvane and Maniston do for attention.

I’m happy to see them jumping ship, they deserve better.

I know Benjamin Button premier will be in LA on Dec 8. Does anyone know what time it is?

okay, wtf is MY comment on CAA being moderated. odd

This guy has real charisma and power, but I just don’t get why he is sooooo inarticulate. He must talk to people - all different kinds of people - all day long. So why has he not developed a way of expressing himself that is refined and clear. He needs help. While he is in Germany, or England, or France, or anywhere where people can think and talk, he needs to get coaching in how to talk. Gregory Peck could talk. Bogie could talk. Cary could talk. It’s time for Brad to learn to talk.

You know all of these actors are leaving CAA because they’re thinking to themselves, “Jennifer Aniston hasn’t had a hit movie under her own steam EVER…but every time I turn around she’s on the cover of some damned magazine talking about her new start and pimping some cheesy romcom she blackmailed someone into…but CAA can’t get ME any work? Whassup with that shite? Okay…I know 3 out of 4 movies she makes can’t get a distributor…but, still…WHY IS SHE WORKING AND I’M NOT?!! “

umm, try google for info on the premiere. we don’;t know you and do not wish to give info to trolls - this is an open forum where lackeys and huvane staffers lurk…most likely you could be stephen huvane, telling jen and john just when to hit sunset tower on that same day.

weird — why are posts disappearing. who in heck is moderating jared’s right now…some weird stuff is happening.

Brad looks hot here. I liked all his interviews so far. He is pleasant to watch . He sound happy and is articulate. The interviewers always asked him about his family ,his fans (me included) likes to here about that. So don’t blame him when he talks about his family here and there, after all they are his family the most important thing in the world for him.

STFU!!

i think those two Anustoloonies “Plan B working” & “Rotflmao” are taking a break. Must have run to X house to get their two days salary for bloging 24/7 here in JJ’s heheheheh. You know b*tches need to eat too!!! bwahahahah!!

ANGELINA JOLIE gets hotter with every red carpet event she attends.

The actress dazzled dumbstruck crowds as she glided into a New Orleans screening of partner BRAD PITT’s new movie The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button last night.

Wearing a stunning white L’Wren Scott number, it’s possible Angie made an extra special effort in a bid to steer attention away from Brad’s new moustache.

Despite the unflattering addition to his top lip, Brad held his own style wise, stepping out in a designer three-piece suit and eye-catching tie/shirt combo.

Brad has grown the ‘tache to play a military man in QUENTIN TARANTINO’s badly spelt movie Inglourious ********.

But it was Angie who stole the limelight at the glitzy event, wowing onlookers with her slender, curvy body wrapped tight in a figure-hugging dress.

he’s awesome, has a charming smile and sexy…..

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

Oh for God’s sake, Shitzy, go kill yourself or something. You’ve been saying the same thing for the past four years. Sh*t gets old, yanno?

Liked when Brad talked about how he did a lot of wild things when he was younger but now is a good time in his life with his family. It is as if he is saying this is where he needs to be in his life. This in not he exact quote but my interpretation of what he said.
Love this man. He is not well spoken as Angie but he has the charisma and the down to earth “good guy” appeal. How can you not love him.
I love listening to Angie speak, she is just so fluid and it seems so natural. They are definitely made for one another.

Pitt’s getting ready to flee his disastrous life. “You know, it certainly makes me conscious of how much time do I have left. Do I — you know, is this my day? Do I have 40 years left? What do I want to do in that time? How do I want to use it? And who do I want to spend it with?” He said the same kind of bullsh!t when he was married the Jen and was caught cheating. “Nothing last forever”, those were his words. Sorry loons, looks like you’re going to have to remake the altar to include whatever fool is willing to take up with a ***** with six little ‘********” (sic) running wild. I also read that that crazy b!tch Jolie throws knives at him for talking to Jen on the phone for hours at a time. Probably begging for forgiveness and wanting her to take him back. WTF? I don’t blame my boy for wanting to be up and out.

Anne Heche Is Pregnant

EXCLUSIVE: Anne Heche Is Pregnant!
Anne Heche and her beau, actor James Tupper, are expecting their first child together, her rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.

“They are thrilled,” her rep tells Us.

The two first met in 2006 on the set of their short-lived ABC drama Men In Trees while Heche was still wed to husband Coley Laffoon.

“In that friendship, we kind of discovered we saw the world in a somewhat similar way,” Tupper, who was also married at the time, told the Vancouver Sun last year. “I think we both made decisions that were based on the relationships we were in.”

Shortly after Heche announced her split from Laffoon (with whom she has a 6-year-old son, Homer), the two stepped out publicly.
“I wish people could meet her in person,” Tupper told the Sun of Heche, with whom he shares a home in Vancouver. “She has such a sparkle and such a love for people, and she works so hard. She is so dedicated to all the good things.”

Heche told Extra last year that she was relieved that they can finally be open about their relationship.

“We’re so much more comfortable now that our feelings are exposed and everybody knows about them,” said Heche, who will be appearing with Tupper on an upcoming episode of Samantha Who? this season.

Asked whether she’ll expand her family, Heche said, “Gotta leave it open, ya know what I’m saying?”
_____________________

Hmmm…both were married, actually were together before splitting from their spouses — will they get the grief ‘brangelina’ did?

Of course not. No one cares about them, and there is not a stunning Angelina Jolie in the mix. lolol

Funny that the 2 trolls “rotflmao” and “PlanBworking” were here the whole day, then they both disappeared at the same time. Now the night shift is taking over with “bigbiglove”.

By the way, have you guys seen Nicole Kidman all over Europe suddenly showing her daughter? What happened to “her daughter is not for sale”? And you you know if Angie and Brad are seen with thei kids, they are accused of w*oring them out for their movies. Nicole is soo obvious, it ’s embarrassing. She has certainly learned from the master, her ex Tom.

LOL!!! Now I know that the tabs underpaid interns are lurking here. Listen loser $2.00/hour wage earner with no tips or bonus or holidays or sick days, no BG that ever worked for A-Listers ever talks, their As’s would be sued in a snap, as they all sign airtight confidentiality agreements, and they do want to keep working and making good money unlike you. Brad and Angie have the super lawfirm of Lavery and none of their staff utters word one. You are so low in the company that you don’t even know that all the tab editors have gone on record to say that Brad and Angie have the tightest lockdown on their real lives and a complete news blackout, so they admitted that the tabs just LIE about the JPs!!

Brad got up off the sofa, left his empty life that consisted of his extreme me-ism with an empty headed mediocre TV actress who actually believes what her overpaid PR Huvane tells her to keep his big payments coming on a regular basis, and as Brad just told LarryK he leaped into the best time of his life with Angie and their kids.

You are an object of pity, not to know the difference beween a real family and a PR created twosome.

And as some here have noted, CAA is going to lose more real talent as they have concentrated on the least talented clients like a certain ex and ignored the most talented. Why would anyone keep paying for no support in their own career, while gritting their teeth to see a notalent hair and too small bikinis TV creature constantly paraded in the media.

I would not be surprised to see Brad make a move at some time.

Review: THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
12/3/2008
Posted by Matt ShareThis Buzz up!

Written by Matt Goldberg

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is epic in the best sense of the word. It’s not about set pieces-it’s about scale. It’s not about distance-it’s about depth. Director David Fincher has crafted an epic love poem, a tale of life and death, a story about storytelling. He does it all and does it without soaring trumpets, grand declarations, or even the in-your-face style of “Fight Club”. He does it with character, with pacing, with gorgeous cinematography, and with all the quiet strength and confidence of a much older and experienced artist.

The hook of “Benjamin Button” is that the title character (Brad Pitt) was “born under unusual circumstances.” Specifically, Benjamin is born as a man in his mid-80s and then ages in reverse. Abandoned by his father on the doorstep of an old-folks home, Benjamin is found by the kind-hearted Queenie (secret weapon Taraji P. Henson again reminding us why her involvement in a film is a reason for excitement) who works as a caretaker at the home. We learn of Benjamin’s story through his diary, read by Caroline (Julia Ormond), the daughter of his life-long love Daisy (Cate Blanchett). As Daisy fades away on her deathbed, we walk through Benjamin’s life and see the odd turns of happenstance, opportunity, loss, learning, and above all, love; the unusual circumstances of his life leading to events both common and extraordinary.

Benjamin’s condition is both an after-thought and a symbol on which the entire film turns. We never forget that we’re watching a seven-year-old that happens to look seventy or a sixty-year-old that looks twenty-one, yet it’s rarely distracting. It’s only when we take a step back do we realize the beauty and tragedy of Benjamin’s condition is that his life is on a countdown. He knows exactly when his time is up and it gives an immediate reason to treasure each moment and value every relationship. It’s odd little thing to wake up a day younger and a day closer to death and again, balancing that knowledge is what makes Benjamin such a rich character. The film turns to Benjamin’s age for an occasional moment of levity or poignancy and it always remains in the periphery but the focus of the film isn’t age-it’s life.

What makes “Benjamin Button” such a rich tapestry is that the film has so much to offer. I’m sad that I’ll probably have to wait until Christmas to see the film again but I’m thankful that I’ve at least seen it once. I would like to watch it again with the sound off just to gawk at Claudio Miranda’s luscious cinematography. The film has a look that’s both modern yet timeless with images of Daisy’s ballet or Benjamin at sea painted into my brain. It also does a wonderful job of capturing setting. Like any good epic, “Button” takes place in a variety of locations across the globe, but New Orleans is its home and the city should probably get its name on the marquee along side Pitt and Blanchett. That the framing device of Caroline reading Benjamin’s diary to Daisy takes place on the eve of Hurricane Katrina is slightly distracting until you notice that storms are cleverly woven throughout the fabric of the film, a constant reminder of nature’s terrifying instability yet odd comfort in its inevitability. It may be a symbol for something but I’m not sure what…

I would like to watch the film with the sound off and listen to Eric Roth’s dialogue and Benjamin’s voiceovers that make me feel not only the New Orelans’ drawl but like I’m hearing literature come to life (which works out well since it’s based off a 1922 short story by some guy called F. Scott Fitzgerald). I’d like to hear Alexandre Desplat’s carefully measured score that always supports the film rather than acting as a crutch or a distraction.

But if I closed my eyes or covered my ears, I wouldn’t be able to fully appreciate the performances of the film, chief among them, Brad Pitt as the man with the curious case. Simply put, Pitt gives his best performance to date. Yes, flashier roles like Tyler Durden or Jeffrey Goines get the acclaim but the quiet strength and soul that Pitt puts into his performance is uncanny. He’s not just acting under make-up or through it but actively makes his age a part of his character. A young man born into an elderly body, Pitt thoughtfully portrays Button as a boy who grew up not among energetic children but among the infirm, the dying, and most importantly, the introspective. There’s the saying that “Youth is wasted on the young,” but “Button” makes me think that the opposite may be just as true.

It’s also to Pitt’s credit that he doesn’t let the make-up do all the work because with make-up and CGI this good, he probably could get away with it. All age make-up from here on out has to live in the shadow of “Benjamin Button”. While Button’s reverse aging is his hook, there are numerous characters throughout his lifetime that go through traditional aging and the work done on them is no less impressive. Quality aging make-up to make an actor look older or younger is difficult and “Benjamin Button” makes it look easy.

Playing alongside Pitt sharing is Cate Blanchett, once again effortlessly demonstrating that she’s of the best actresses working today. The film doesn’t need to waste time showing the pros and cons of Benjamin and Daisy. The chemistry and craft between Pitt and Blanchett sells that love for us and it sells because it’s not always active and burning with the passion of a thousand suns. In “Benjamin Button”, it’s not just about acting like your in love-it’s about acting like how a person of a certain age acts in love. The young love recklessly, the mature love confidently, the old love wistfully, and then there are all the complexities in between. It’s a complex portrayal of a complex emotion and one with a rewarding pay-off.

I’ll admit I was tearing-up at the end of the film. This is an epic love story told not simply through singular events but through the entire lives of two people. It’s a love that feels real because it perfectly captures the foolish temperament of youth and the deep sadness of experience. If you need evidence of the film’s success, look no further than the scenes between Benjamin and Daisy. Our instinct to see such May-December relationships is to find them icky and unbecoming but because of the confidence of Pitt, Blanchett, Roth, and Fincher, we always know that these two people are only six years apart in age and it’s their actions that bind them together, not their physical appearances.

With the exception of orcs, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” has everything I want in an epic and delivers it all flawlessly. It knows when to lean on the strange, embrace the universal, and how to balance everything in between. It is timeless, it is immediate, and it is classic. Its beauty is staggering. Its loveliness is heartbreaking.

Eco-Friendly Playground to be Dedicated to the Children of New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward

- On Make it Right’s One-Year Anniversary, PlayGreen Initiative Brings Together Kellogg Company, KOMPAN and BNIM to Dedicate Kellogg Park, the U.S.’s First Digital, Eco-Friendly Playground -

Dec. 3, 2008
After Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans on August 29, 2005, much of the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans suffered catastrophic flooding and the vast majority of its residents lost their homes. Since the disaster, not a single playground has been built in the area, and the children of this part of New Orleans do not have a proper place to play. The Make it Right Foundation, headed by the actor and activist Brad Pitt, partnering with PlayGreen Initiative, will dedicate Kellogg Park on Wednesday, December 3, 2008, aided by donations from Kellogg’s Corporate Citizenship Fund, KOMPAN, Inc., and BNIM, a leading architectural firm.

Nearly $500,000 worth of equipment, landscaping, and labor/services were donated to the park and playground, including a $300,000 KOMPAN donation in equipment, a $100,000 grant from Kellogg’s Corporate Citizenship Fund and services provided by BNIM Architects and John Williams Architects.

BNIM, a national leader in sustainable design and also one of 12 design firms for the Make it Right Project, designed the overall site, and JWA, a New Orleans architectural firm, served as a local collaborator. Both the equipment and the site are designed using sustainable methods and materials that minimize the impact on the environment while providing exceptional play value and a quality community gathering place. The play space will be constructed in an environmentally sustainable way, using local suppliers, native plantings, and natural means to control water flow, thereby reducing pollution, runoff, and other problems associated with asphalt and more traditional playground design. The playground equipment is constructed using sustainable methods including the use of non-toxic, recyclable and environmentally friendly materials. Solar energy will also be used to power the electronic components on the new equipment.

Eric Roth is Pax’s godfather…..wow!!! pretty cool!

What happened to some of my posts? What is Jared doing? Is he throwing out the fans posts along with the trolls? Jared read the names before you throw posts out.

I might be in the minority, but the more I look at Brad in his mustache the more I like it. There was a bit on Huffinton Report titled The Return of the Mustache. So maybe Brad is being mustache forward. I know I am in the minority on this one. But IMHO I liked Brad’s plaid tie and plaid shirt combination. The colors were all in the same family and complimented the suit.

I bet we see more combinations springing up in HW. Brad and Angie are trend setters. They have the confidence to try new and different styles of dress. As Neleh would say please no moderation. Peace

Brad Pitt
By Rebecca Winters Keegan

When a man looks like Brad Pitt, we tend to underestimate him. We ask him to make a blockbuster a year. Date a beautiful woman. Have a cute baby. And we’re happy.

But he’s not content. As an actor and producer, Pitt, 43, has used his star power to get people to look at places and stories that cameras don’t usually catch. He gravitates toward projects that emphasize we’re all the same on this earth, like Babel, the 2006 multinarrative drama of cultural misunderstanding, in which Pitt plays an American tourist in Morocco. It gave many U.S. filmgoers their introduction to the notion of Pitt as a serious actor, with a range that was wider than gorgeous-to-handsome. In his portrayal of a scared, flailing husband, Pitt managed to do that tricky thing: make audiences forget that he’s a big, handsome Movie Star.
He’s also getting serious as a producer, with a slate that reflects a surprising range of interests for an Oklahoma-born Sigma Chi frat boy. There is God Grew Tired of Us, a documentary about the child soldiers of Sudan; Year of the Dog, a quirky comedy about pet loss; and A Mighty Heart, about murdered journalist Danny Pearl, starring girlfriend Angelina Jolie. He has ambitious plans to help rebuild New Orleans. Oh, and he’ll also appear in Steven Soderbergh’s Oceans 13, providing us, as every artistically ambitious celebrity should, with a little sugar just to keep us

hooked.http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/time100/article/0,28804,1595326_1595332_1616809,00.html

BRAD Pitt and Angelina Jolie are just as annoyingly amazing in real life as they al ways say they are. Pitt caught some flak after going on “Oprah” and claiming to be very hands on with his children. But a source at the Ocean Club in the Bahamas, who saw the Brangelina clan on vacation recently, told Page Six, “They were so adorable with their kids.” The hotel guest added, “Brad and An gelina spent a lot of time in their private villa but would take the four kids out of the room to play.” Our spy didn’t see them with their new twins, “but they spent lots of time with the older kids doing arts-and- crafts proj ects and playing on the play ground. It was a great picture.”

BRAD/ANGIE- A LOVING FAMILY @ 12/04/2008 at 1:58 am

With cameras following their every move, you may think you know Brad and Angelina—but Brad says there is a side to Angelina that isn’t shown in magazines and movies. “Usually when Angie’s shot [for a magazine] she’s seen as a femme fatale, and she does that very well. But she also has the biggest heart and just inexhaustible spirit and sweetness and goodness,” he says. “She’s an inexhaustible mother and great grace and the real glue of the family.”

These trolls sound like a bunch of kids. Please, let’s try to ignore them. They are just trying to disrupt the thread, and are not worth the headaches and stress.

Goodnight all, will talk again later.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
By George Clooney

It is one thing to talk about the problems of the world and quite another to actually try to change things.

As a team, actors Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, have served as our goodwill ambassadors worldwide. They brought help to Pakistan in 2005, after a catastrophic earthquake killed tens of thousands of people and left millions homeless. They have tended to the poor and sick in Africa. And they’ve raised global awareness—and contributed $1 million of their own money—for the victims of atrocities in Darfur. Brad co-founded Not on Our Watch, an organization set up to focus global attention on Darfur and other hot spots.
In the U.S., Brad and Angelina didn’t just talk about, or even just throw money at, the tragic fallout from Hurricane Katrina. They actually moved to New Orleans and have set about trying to make right what so many have made wrong. Brad established a project to finance and build 150 new homes in the Ninth Ward.

Angelina has worked tirelessly through the United Nations on behalf of refugees around the world, touring border camps in Africa, Asia and Latin America and lobbying on Capitol Hill. The couple cares for three adopted children, from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, in addition to their biological daughter.

There are hundreds of people who could be honored for their good works, but I’ve seen Brad and Angelina firsthand, and their commitment together is truly impressive.
Clooney is actively engaged in trying to resolve the Darfur crisis

FYI @ 10/11/2008 at 11:21 am

Don forget to support angie’s Initiative too. Children of Katrina are still in need.

Three years after Hurricane Katrina, the children of New Orleans are still recovering. The struggling school system was devastated by the storm. Most school buildings were destroyed or damaged. Students, faculty and administrators were scattered across the country. Months of living as virtual refugees ended any chance of a normal school life. The physical and emotional effects of coping with this disaster are still present. Extra help is needed to make sure these kids can make the most of themselves through education.

Partners are working right here in the U.S. to provide the programs and services needed in post-emergency situations to allow these children to heal, learn and rebuild their lives.

Brad has embraced his maturing. Hollywood celebrities often remain stuck in a prolonged adolescence (a natural and necessary stage of development)which should not last until ones 30s/40’s. Brad has his focus now, partner(Angie),sons and daughters, Business(producing) and Architecture. I commend his actions. His values and priorities are evolving as he matures. Good for you Brad. Angie is also evolving. This is how it should be. God bless both of them and the children. Happy birthday to Pax . I will go to youtube to see a video of the children.(I love the to see the children, it really stirs up mixed feelings in me, on one hand I am glad they are not being stalked, on the other hand it’s been a while and children grow so fast, I do miss them (sniff)

bigbigBIGMORON @ 12/04/2008 at 3:01 am

Dear bigbigbigmoron,

Changeling is already Clint’s highest grossing film to date thanks to Angelina. It’s an Eastwood drama (ala Mystic River, Million Dollar baby which made much less than Changeling did…and Changeling is still in the top 10), sorry ignoramus…this is not a comedy frat boy movie (vaughn, stiller, carey), and it’s not shrek 5 or Kung Fu Panda.

But you do need to start subscribing to people mag, Variety, or EW — they have all declared Angie box office champ - having grossed a BILLION (that’s with a b, B-yatch!) in 2008 alone…she’s half of the hottest couples of ‘08 (Hello mag, AOL, popeater), she’s the hottest movie in history (AFI), she’s Time’s Most Influential ‘08, she’s the number oe selling cover, she’s the 3rd sexiest in the WORLD (despite being pregnant for most of the last year…!!

…meanwhile poor Maniston spent all of 2008 in string bikinis spreading her asscheeks wide and blowing bubbles out her sphincter, and she STILL didn’t get jack sh-t. Poor 40 yr old hag that she is. Ahahahahaha)

bigbigBIGMORON @ 12/04/2008 at 3:01 am

Be Warned @ 12/04/2008 at 5:58 am

Colo. man charged with libel over Craigslist posts

Tue Dec 2, 5:57 am

ETFORT COLLINS, Colo. – A man accused of making unflattering online comments about his former lover and her attorney on Craigslist has been charged with two counts of criminal libel.

“It’s not a charge you see a lot of,” Larimer County District Attorney Larry Abrahamson said of the 1800s-era state law that can put people in jail for the content of their speech or writing.

Abrahamson charged J.P. Weichel, 40, of Loveland, in October over posts he allegedly made on Craigslist’s “Rants and Rave” section.

The case began when a woman told Loveland police in December 2007 about postings made about her between November and December 2007. Court records show posts that suggested she traded sexual acts for legal services from her attorney and mentioned a visit from child services because of an injury to her child.

Police obtained search warrants for records from Web sites including Craigslist before identifying Weichel as the suspect. Weichel shares a child with the woman.

Weichel, confronted by detectives at his workplace in August, said he was “just venting,” according to court records.

No phone listing could be found for Weichel, and his attorney, Michael Liggett of Fort Collins, didn’t immediately return a message left Monday by The Associated Press.

Libel is commonly seen as a civil case. Denver attorney Steve Zansberg, who specializes in First Amendment law, said prosecutors seeking criminal libel cases could have a “chilling” effect on free speech in Colorado, particularly over the Internet.

Abrahamson wasn’t so sure. He said it is up to police departments to pursue cases.

Zansberg contends the law is outdated, is unclear about stating opinions and is written in such a way that dead people could be victims of criminal libel.

The statute allows prosecution for speech “tending to blacken the memory of one who is dead” or to “expose the natural defects of one who is alive, and thereby to expose him to public hatred, contempt or ridicule.” Criminal libel carries a punishment of up to 18 months in prison.

Has the web site always been makeitrighnola.org.? I thought it was makeitright.org. Is Brad planning on expanding this project?

I wonder if Brad & Angie will watch the boxing fight between Mexican Oscar de La Hoya and Filipino Manny Paquiao on Dec.6 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. I know both of them like boxing. In fact, they went to see Riccky Hatton’s fight before.

Somebody told me earlier today that she heard on the news that Angie & Brad will watch it among the many celebrities. I just don’t know if it’s true or not. That remains to be seen.

‘Dark Knight’ Fans Want Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie in Next Batman Movie, Says Blockbuster Survey

Last update: 5:00 a.m. EST Dec. 4, 2008

As the Dec. 9 DVD release of “The Dark Knight” approaches, fans have casting picks for director Christopher Nolan should he create another Batman film. According to a survey conducted by Blockbuster Inc., movie fans are hoping to see Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie play starring roles. The villains that fans would most like to see Batman take on are The Riddler and The Joker’s therapist turned girlfriend Harley Quinn.
“Both Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are actors who can bring a Batman villain to life in the complex, realistic style that have made Nolan’s films so popular,” said Keith Leopard, director of film product for Blockbuster Inc. “It would be exciting to see what they could do with The Riddler’s compulsive clue-giving and Harley Quinn’s transformation from brilliant therapist to psychotic criminal.”
Other top picks from movie lovers for the next Batman film’s villains were Cat Woman, The Penguin and tough guy Bane. Favorite actors to play roles like these included Natalie Portman, Edward Norton and Keira Knightley.
Until a new movie is created, fans can get their Batman fix by heading to a local BLOCKBUSTER(R) store or visiting Blockbuster.com to rent or buy the “Dark Knight” DVD on Tuesday, Dec. 9. “The Dark Knight” is currently the highest grossing movie of 2008 in North America and worldwide, and it is the second highest grossing movie of all time domestically.

Pitt shocked at Mumbai terror attacks

New York (PTI): Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has expressed his shock over the recent terror attacks in Mumbai as he and partner Angelina Jolie had stayed in the terror-hit Taj Mahal Palace hotel.

Pitt said it was painful to see the engulfed images of the room on TV, in which he and Jolie had stayed together during their trip to India.

“We stayed in the Taj and we saw the room we stayed in was on fire. I can’t begin to make any sense of it but I’m sure they are doing their best to uncover what was at the base of it,” Pitt told US talk show host Larry King Live.

“It’s an incredible building. It was incredible. India itself is one of the most amazing countries that I’ve ever been to. Everyone should be so fortunate to get to explore it,” the actor said while talking about his impressions of the country. Pitt was in India along with partner Angelina Jolie to in Novemebr 2006 for the shooting of ‘A Mighty Heart’.

Brad Pitt works to ‘make it right’ in New Orleans

(CNN) — Brad Pitt has plenty on his plate. The Oscar-nominated actor and producer stars in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons,” which opens nationwide on Christmas Day.

Pitt is also the founder of Make It Right Foundation New Orleans Louisiana, an organization dedicated to rebuilding the city following the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Pitt spoke to CNN’s Larry King about his growing family, the crisis in India and revitalization efforts in New Orleans.

The following is an edited version of the interview.

http://www.advertiser.ie/galway/article/5579
Changeling
So emotionally gripping was the film that, as the viewer, I actually had to remind myself a number of times that it is a true story because it seems that unbelievable. Even more alarming is that the story sticks so frighteningly close to the real story that it is billed as being “a true story” not just “based on a true story”.

Chalked full of Oscar-worthy performances, if Jolie gets overlooked by the Academy (which some predict she will for being‘ too beautiful’ to have portrayed the plain Jane that was the real Collins), it just might be the biggest tragedy of the year. Her anguished, authentic performance far removes her from the superstar face we see splashed across countless tabloid magazines each week and instead, her own experience as a mother of four (she was only just pregnant with twins Knox and Vivienne during filming), seems to lend itself to a performance so real you can actually momentarily forget her celebrity status all together.

Malkovich is incredible as Rev Gustav Briegleb, managing to be completely believeable as the outspoken and outlandish community activist who is determined to expose all the dirty truths of the LAPD during this turbulant period in time. The complete opposite of the type of character you expect to see Malkovich play, Eastwood cast him against his type on purpose he felt it would add depth, and, being right on the mark, this very well could see him scooping up his own Oscar nod because of it.

Lesser known actors Jeffrey Donovan, who plays the conniving Irish-American police captain JJ Jones, and Michael Kelly, who plays Detective Lester Ybarra, the man who finally makes the drastic move that discloses the cover up, are both outstanding in their roles and should be commended for their part in making this outstanding picture what it is.

Eastwood will undoubtedly get some Oscar appreciation for the film and rightfully so. And, going on the basis that no one else manages to make a picture so utterly heartwrenching and soul-moving in the next month, there is a very good chance that Changeling could be Eastwood’s newest Million Dollar Baby.

Restoring New Orleans

Brad Pitt is on the move, trying to raise awareness of the lasting repercussions of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and you should be aware that payday loans can be an aid when a natural disaster hits. Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana over three years ago, but life in New Orleans still has not returned to normalcy. Lower Ninth Ward, the New Orleans neighborhood hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina remains in shambles; much of the Lower Ninth Ward is still uninhabited and unlivable. Brad Pitt and many others are fighting to rebuild New Orleans into the city it once was.

The Make It Right Project is a plan to build 150 new homes in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward. Brad Pitt expects families will be in these new homes by the end of summer 2009. However, Brad Pitt cannot complete this project on his own, and contrary to popular belief, the houses constructed with the help of Make It Right are not free. Pitt described Make It Right as an adopt-a-house campaign. These houses cost money, and that’s why Pitt is asking for help from all Americans. Pitt has already donated $5 million of his own money, but he is also asking for donations from anyone who can afford to help, including foundations, well-off individuals, churches, and corporations. One eco-friendly house costs just $150,000 because Make It Right is committed to building homes that are affordable, sustainable, and true to the culture of New Orleans. As of today, 86 of the 150 homes have been sponsored.

Good Morning all and shallow narcisstic troll.

BP and AJ are comfortable in their skins. They do not live their lives trying to maintain an image, fading youth and whining about being irrelevant in Hollyweird. They leave that for the self-absorbed, whiny actors out there. No names for the sensitive hens. BP and AJ are busy raising their family, getting critical acclaim for their films and being of service to the world. Now that’s hot. Instead of worrying about external looks and “nice hair”, the hens should support the celebrities they admire in their charitable efforts. It makes all the difference. Have a great day and make it a MIR day. Christmas is around the corner and the MIR has nice eco friendly gifts. Peace to all.

Oh dear, the man looks beat - Jen must be happy that she had him when he was hot!
_________________________

Actually Brad is still hot - which is why he’s ranked high on, or tops every sexy/hot list there is, and if that weren’t enough, just being with Angelina Jolie makes him scalding hot.

As for equating hot to happiness ratio. Brad’s deeper than that - it’s never been a priority of his - but one can certainly see that Maniston is shallow enough to think that physical beauty is the be all end all - most likely because she’s never posessed it, and her own mother was said to have thought her homely.

B ut if you prescribed those same superficial qualities that Aniston posesses to Brad, then that would mean that Brad was NEVER happy with Aniston, as Aniston was NEVER hot.

I happen to think he was never happy because he was never in love with her.

Katarina , it’s not the first time I heard that old saying you said from those women who being DUMPED.. I guest they have to said that just to ease their pains .. while the “other women” looking so content satisfied and oh so happy…. LOL LOL
Oh dear, It’s suxs to be DUMPED .. isn’t hag !
While Brad looking HOT as always.

Thanks bdj for the news articles

Like you #26 Marieme I was not a Brad fan until he hooked up with Angie. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

just flag the hag interview and have jared remove it. It has its own thread.

good morning all. OMG did you see Jared’s newest post???????????????????????????????? I almost fainted…..

Frenchy @ 12/04/2008 at 10:25 am good morning all. OMG did you see Jared’s newest post????????????????????????????????
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LOL.. I feel the same freaking way…WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pathetic (the EW same ol,’ same ol’ Maniston interview, that is).

This is a 40 yr old woman talking:

Hannah Montana as metaphor, fruity pebbles, kashi cereal, Luke & Laura??

Oh. My. God. Shameful liar Aniston.

AS USUAL: she’s whining about her circumstances throughout her interviews, whining about tabloids, whining about other people’s expectations, claiming she’s moved on, while STILL talking about the same EXACT subjects and issues and PEOPLE she spoke of in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008…and always making sure she never NEVER absolves anyone of the manufactured PR story that poor poor pitiful Jen’s life was wrecked.

She makes it clear today, at this point in time that Brad has gotten his clearance, yet Angelina Jolie she will keep as her ace in the hole - the beautiful Oscar winning young woman that makes others rally to ‘jen’s’ side. Angelina, the woman that will take the arrows and hits that come her way due to Aniston’s manipulative sneaky potshots

…but we can’t call Aniston ‘catty,’ she says…..hmmm…really?? REALLY?? Not even after describing Jolie’s comments in an almost two year old article as “inappropriate,” not even after saying Jolie’s descriptions of a burgeoning friendship with Pitt was “uncool,” not even after Aniston vaguely says something about “things (she) was unaware of that were happening,” during the MAMS shoot she makes plain, these are “things,” of course that she will NOT elaborate on..Aniston will just be happy to leave it out there for people in her camp to stew on and of course blame the ‘femme fatale,’ Angelina for. Again, because Brad has been absolved by Pope Aniston evidently. Her parting shot at Jolie, is Aniston’s laughing at what she says is “the funniest thing she ever saw,” (a cartoon of her loading up a shotgun to shoot Jolie)…..

…have we arrived at “catty,” yet?? I’d say malicious, vindictive and deceptive is more up Aniston’s alley.

Aniston says the ‘Team Aniston,’ shirts were flattering. Yet she decries the tabloids and tabloid mentality that created them and even infers they are best ignored, and not paid attention to — by posing the old ‘if a bear sh*t in the woods, who would be there to hear it?,’ quandary…. but it’s very VERY clear, that with the aforementioned ‘team’ comment, the moaning about the tabloid speculation, ANISTON HERSELF is the one listening, and sniffing up the sh*t the hardest of us all.

LOL. How dumb is this woman?

By saying the ‘team’ thing was flattering - she’s saying she felt good to ‘win,’ the perceived celebrity tabloid bullsh*t ‘war’ AGAINST another woman, who had absolutely nothing to do with Brad Pitt leaving you. That you claimed in VF you didn’t blame to begin with??!!

Contradictory much?? Passive Aggressive much?? Yes, of course.

Same double speak, same passive aggressiveness at play. It’s her last sick revenge against Brad, TRY to make his woman and the mother of his children suffer under her once again falsely created acrimony, her slings and arrows. That might work, if it was NOT Angelina Jolie we’re talking about. If Angelina were as weak and silly and shallow as Aniston, she would be in a fetal position crumpled up in a ball…not having 6 kids in 3 years, winning critical acclaim for her roles, and saving the world.

Of course, Aniston has to pose as a benevolent forgiver….urging others to get a life, saying she’s moved on — but keeping that small bit of acrimony, that bitterness STILL in play…making her hens and followers wonder …..it’s her ‘wink wink knudge knudge,’ to her ‘team’ mates, all those that rally round the flag that is Jen Aniston, TV sit-com actress and 90s hair icon…..

…..as if to get the minivan brigade that still supports this flake to say, ‘Hmmm….we don’t really KNOW what happened to ‘Brad and Jen,’ Jen’s not keeping her lips sealed, but we ARE able to see that she forgives Brad and has curiously just recently started snarking on Angelina - that is our cue to keep the snark and bitterness for Jolie alive and well in the name of Aniston. Afterall, Jen isn’t speaking glowingly of Angelina, as a matter ogf fact she’s inferring Angelina did….well…something….right???

…and yes, with yet another dumb asss interview, she keeps the triangle alive - and has given the acrimony towards Angelina new legs possibly….it may be on life support, much like Aniston’s career…but she’s kept it breathing.

If the woman knows anything at all about Brad Pitt, she knows that will annoy and disgust him most of all. Brad once said, ‘make me the bad guy,’ and jen and stephen are not ABOUT to give him what he wants. The ‘catty,’ ex, and the mean PR queen Huvane, LIKE beating up the beautiful young mother and Oscar winner that Brad loves more than life.

Nice stratgey Stephen. The sit-com fool isn’t that smart. But u do earn your keep buddy. Karl Rove and you are like peas in a pod.

Keep up the legit articles everyone. They are great. I am so happy that the tabs on on their last legs.

Greetings fans, thanks bdj for the news.. Cliniqua love that post.. For all things Aniston, you write the best posts.

I hope all of this drama can end with the new year. Please, this is getting ridiculous, why does she need to refer to Brad and his other half (Angie) to sell her movie! Oh when will it end??????????????

Cliniqua, great post. After I read the EW article, I thought “Hum, I would like to hear Cliniqua’s thoughts on this”. You hit the nail right on the head. Maniston “not catty”. Humm, and don’t forget what she told Van Meter off the records too. Wonder if one day he is going to publish a tell all book about it. Hopefully not 25 years from now, on the day of Shiloh’s wedding.

Jolie-Pitts Celebrated Obama Victory In Chicago
3 December 2008 11:08 PM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie were so keen to see Barack Obama win the recent U.S. presidential election they flew to his Chicago, Illinois base to watch the votes roll in.

Although both Pitt and Jolie - who spent most of this year in Europe - refused to join other celebrities by publicly endorsing the Democrat candidate during the election campaign, they made sure they were on hand to celebrate on 4 November when the result was announced.

The Hollywood couple even attended the Illinois Senator’s victory rally in the city centre, but made sure they kept a low profile.

Pitt tells U.S. talkshow host Larry King, “I think overnight we redefined what America is about. I couldn’t be any happier or more hopeful for America.

“We were in Chicago in Grand Park. It was an incredible experience - we ended up walking home that night, as all the main boulevards were closed. And just the jubilation in the street was something extraordinary to see.”

Did she really liken an artistic craft to fruity pebbles and kashi cereal?

Did she really say everyone was talking about her instead of Obama the day after the election?

Did she really neglect to mention the sole reason WHY her Vogue interview got the coverage it did (er, HELLO?? ANGELINA JOLIE )

Did she really spend her whole interview with EW discussing tabloids, only to rhetorically ask, if a tabloid happened in the woods, would anyone know it happened? (oh. my. god. the idiocy.

Did she really say she was flattered by the ‘Team Aniston,’ shirts and does she know what that infers?

Did she really say she was NOT ‘catty,’ even after having already called her ‘uncool,’ in a national magazine, and more importantly, having admitted that one of her hen friends sent her a snarky b*tchy cartoon of herself loading up a gun to kill Angelina Jolie, and saying that she found it ‘the funniest thing she had ever seen?’

Does she really expect people to believe she’s not coked out for these interviews she does?

It’s either that, or she’s the dumbest most banal b*tch ALIVE.

Jolie-Pitt Foundation Awards Second Grant to Global Action for Children

Washington, D.C. - Today, Global Action for Children (GAC) announced a $100,000 end-of-year-grant from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. The grant will support GAC’s efforts on an Emergency Presidential Initiative for the World’s Children (EPIWC) in the new Obama administration, ensure children are not left off the agenda during the growing financial crisis, and help GAC continue its mission of making every taxpayer dollar more efficient in U.S. foreign assistance for children.

Ms. Jennifer Delaney, Executive Director for Global Action for Children stated, “GAC is honored to receive a second grant from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, and we greatly appreciate the Jolie-Pitt Family’s continued commitment to and support of our work.”

With the economic crisis at hand, poor children across the globe will be hard-hit by the reduction in charitable giving and scaling back of programs that help children. Basics like food, clothing, housing, and education will be even harder to access for the poorest and most vulnerable.

Ms. Delaney continued, “Helping impoverished children cannot be accomplished only by additional taxpayer dollars. The structure of U.S. assistance must be rethought so the bureaucracy can be ’smarter’ and target emerging challenges. We urge the new Obama administration to reform foreign assistance and invest in the health and well-being of children in developing nations.”

The Emergency Presidential Initiative for the World’s Children calls for the coordination of all foreign AIDS programs that support children in developing countries to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently and reach as many children as possible. Ms. Delaney stated, “Establishing an executive-level office to oversee and coordinate foreign assistance programs for children in developing countries will ensure aid is spent on building healthy future civil societies, economic growth and political stability in developing countries-not to mention fulfilling a critical U.S. public diplomacy goal.” Approval ratings of the U.S. have been high in PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) beneficiary countries, but it does require leadership in the executive branch.” The EPIWC calls for investments in child survival measures-such as access to inexpensive lifesaving medicines and vaccines-in early childhood development, basic education, and assisting orphans and children vulnerable to war, disease, pandemics, child labor, and sexual exploitation. All children, everywhere in the world, deserve the chance to grow up healthy and safe.

Ms. Delaney stated, “With the holiday season upon us, we hope the generous gift from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation inspires others to give and focus on assisting orphans and highly vulnerable children around the world. Each and every donation can truly make a difference in the life of a child.”

Love that picture, they are such an affectionate, loving couple!
Cliniqua love your post-as always. Trolls just can’t stand the truth you speak. Jealous, jealous, jealous!
The x-ho just needs to keep her mouth shut about brad and angie- when she continues to bring them up it makes her look even more sad, pathetic, and desparate. Oh, wait- she is all that! She just needs to shut-up@!!!!!!!!

Haters if you truly believe that Brad is old and not sexy or worth hooking up with, why are you on their blog everytime Brad and Angie makes an appearance and why do you haters continue to search for news about the couple 24/7? It really kills you all that he is one gorgeous, sexy, super rich guy and combined with Angie’s status they have become enormous powerhouse and your fugly idol was one stupid woman for loosing a guy like Brad. Admit it guys, it kills all of you to see Angie in his arms and imagine him making beautiful love to her drives you all insane, the loss and the thought of him and Angie is too much to bear. Your loss is our gain and your pain is a joy to us. We couldn’t be happier for this super dynamic couple. I hope everytime you see them together may your agony multiply and your souls tortured.

Go MIMI!!!!!
Amen to that!

Good Afternoon JP fans

Thanks for the new thread Jared - loved the LK interview.

Here’s an interview with Brad’s costar in CCOBB, Taraji Henson.

‘Button’ actress: How death gave life to performance

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) — Taraji Henson lost her father one year before she began filming “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

“You kind of always want to ask, why, why, why now? Why in the height of my career? Everything that he always said would happen to me, he’s not here in the flesh to see it,” Henson said.

The actress — best known for her role as a singing prostitute in “Hustle and Flow” — plays Queenie, the adoptive mother of Brad Pitt’s character, Benjamin Button.

Button is born with an disease that causes him to begin life in his 80s and age backward. The film centers around death — especially through Queenie, who runs a senior citizen home and is surrounded by it every day.

The film is based on a short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in the 1920s. It’s said that Fitzgerald based his story on a quote from Mark Twain.

“There’s this beautiful saying in the script about how you have to live life forward, but the only way you understand it is backwards,” Henson said. “I miss my father, and I love him, and I wish he was here, but it was like I had to experience a death of that magnitude to even bring Queenie to life.”

CNN talked to Henson about Queenie, what makes the film intriguing and whom she bonded with on the set. The following is an edited version of that interview:

CNN: What was your reaction when you first got the role of Queenie?

Taraji Henson: I was blown away because I didn’t think I had a shot. It’s a big, major studio film [with] big names like Cate Blanchett, Brad Pitt attached and a huge director, David Fincher. I just didn’t think that they would go for me because I’m not considered a name in Hollywood — yet! Hopefully this movie will do it.

I later found out that, actually, my performance in “Hustle and Flow” got me this film. Laray Mayfield, who casts Fincher’s films, saw me in “Hustle and Flow” and actually called him while she was in the theater and said, “I think I found Queenie.” And, literally, she went to him and said, “You can make your job difficult and watch all of these audition tapes, or you can just hire this girl.” And he trusted her.

CNN: What do you connect with personally in Queenie’s character?

Henson: I think her being a mom and her ability to love unconditionally. How nurturing she is, that’s what I connect to.

CNN: What about the movie intrigues you the most?

Henson: What intrigues me most about the movie is that when it’s real love, it’s forever. You know, Cate Blanchett’s character is aging one way, and Brad Pitt’s character is aging backwards, so they never really find that time when they can get together. VideoWatch Henson explain how they filmed Pitt’s character through the ages »

I mean, they do, but it’s a constant throughout the whole movie, like, “Oh, when are they going to get together? She’s still too old, he’s still too young, oh, she’s there,” and then they finally get to a great meeting place. But then she’s still aging and so is he, backwards. So …

But when it’s real love, it doesn’t matter which way you’re going. It’s real, and it always stays with you.

CNN: What was the interaction like on the set between the cast?

Henson: We had a lot of fun. A lot of laughs, a beautiful set, easygoing, lots of jokes. Every Friday, we would put $5 in a can, and somebody would pull a number, and they’d get it. Sometimes, Brad would pull a number; sometimes I would. We had a good time, a really good time. We ate out a lot.

CNN: What about working with the director? I’ve heard he’s intense.

Henson: Oh, David Fincher, I just love him so much. I never thought I’d meet someone who sweats the small stuff like I do, and I think that’s where we connect. We’re both obsessive. I thought I was obsessive, and I was like “Oh, God, you take the cake, David!”

But I love that about him. Because when you see the film, if you haven’t, you’ll see that he does not leave one stone unturned. He goes over every grain of salt. He is very meticulous, and that is the type of director you want to work with: someone that is going to make you look incredible.

CNN: Let’s say you were aging backwards, like Benjamin Button in the movie. What one lesson have you learned that you would like to take back with you to adolescence or childhood?

Henson: Patience! Just be patient and have faith. That’s something I’m still learning every day. Because, you know, sometimes you sweat the small stuff, and you spend all that time sweating and gaining the gray hairs, for it always to work out anyway. It always works out, doesn’t it?

Restoring New Orleans

As of today, 86 of the 150 homes have been sponsored.

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

Whoever wrote this story needs do a little research. Brad told Larry King that THEY HAVE FINANCING PROMISED FOR ALL 150 HOMES. I would think that homes 85-150 are being funded by the money they were supposed to get from American Idol Gives Back. That would be about $10MIL and AI claimed to take in about $61 MIL for their 6 charities during their charity show in March.

where is the guy who put up half of the money to start MIR? he is never seen or talked about. BING!

I think they gave 5 million each to start it and half of the 5 million was from the jolie-pitt foundation. Brad is taking too much credit and not giving due respect to other people who helped start this thing.

I guess bing doesn’t need the publicity like Brad does for his movie.

###########

bdj, I appreciate and enjoy the articles you take time to bring here. It would be even better if you could be careful about bringing those like the above - which is really just a paid advertisement for payday loans - which are usurous and take shameful advantage of those in financial crisis. The exact opposite of what MIR is trying to do.

These articles are of a genre which are generated by marketing companies disguised as news organizations. They take prewritten packaged articles about various topics such as how fruits are healthy and vital to your daily intake and then sneakily edit in an advertisement for their client - e.g., Dole Pineaple Company. SOme are more subtle than other and merely add in the specific product and omit the company name. All in all it’s a scam and ethically similar to the supposedly legitimate news media picking up rumors from the tabloid press and internet and repackaging them as real news.

Sorry for the rant but those payday loans stick in my craw since I have seen my clients taken advantage of by those blood suckers and then for them to use Pitt’s great MIR to sell their garbage makes it worse.

But, again, bdj, thanks for the time you take to bring us legitimate news and articles.

Yup! You are not very bright. But like so many delusional Jenhens you will never get it. Brad and Angie will be together. Oh and by the way noone really cares what you think. It is too bad that X can not make it on her own withouth draggin Brad or Angie in to every conversation she has.

BBBWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I’ve been skipping the troll comments so I didn’t know one of the morons brought this up…

The “Angie threw knives at Brad for talking to X” bit came from last week’s Star “Bodyguard’s Tell All” issue. They didn’t say she threw them AT Brad. They just said that when she gets mad at Brad - especially when she found out he was still chatting with the Xer occasionally - she got our her knives and threw them at a target or the wall. What’s so hilarious about that is that Angie said years ago that she doesn’t keep her knife collection WITH HER. She’s got it locked away somewhere because well…IT’S A COLLECTION, NOT FOR USE!! That’s like a coin collector carrying around his collection of rare coins. He runs out of money and whips our a rare coin to pay his dinner tab. Frigging morons…

BTW - Since the troll brought up that Star story, I wonder why they left out the section about what X’s bodyguards supposedly said about her. It’s much more realistic than Angie throwing knives at Brad.

The Star said X’s bodyguards say X runs around her house nekkid or in tiny bikinis because she likes men to stare at her body because she’s proud to be in such great shape at 40. The BGs said X answers her door - not knowing who it is - in nothing but a skimpy bikini or towel or nuttin. That she flaunts herself when there are men around her house and “that’s just how she is. She uses her body for attention.” BBBWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Not THAT is right on the money!

Good morning to all BAMPZSKV fans. I hope you all are having a glorious day.

I see the same stupid trolls are back. Please someone take them out of their misery.

I just read an excerpt from x’s interview on Huffington’s Post. I started to bring it over thought against it. It is so sad that this shallow woman has people believing that what she says is the truth. Apparently they are analytical in their thought processing.

Cliniqua wonderful post. You always hit x right on the head. Only next time do it literally and with a big hammer.

That picture of Brad brushing something out of Angie’s eye is so precious. They are really loving towards one another.

Okay gotta go. Now a days I can only take so much troll bs. Constant negativity really wears you down after awhile. It even starts to affect the fans sometimes. We spend so much time fighting the trolls that we become short and abrasive with each other. Fans should support fans. Unless of course someone goes crazy. But we have to make sure it is real and not imagined. BBL. Peace

Does being this stupid hurt excessively? I sure hope so.

Steve Bing is a SILENT PARTNER. S-I-L-E-N-T. I know it’s a new word for you, so let me explain - silent means unheard, making no sound. Ergo…YOU’RE NOT GOING TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM STEVE BING!

Brad the idea for makeitright. In the very begining Brad talked about Bing and all of the people who were donating money. Over the last year there have been so many names that to sit down for an interview and to start naming names he would never finish or even begin the interview.

That is why if you go to the makeitright web site you will see a list of everyone, if they wanted their name published, who has donated. Brad had the vision. It would not have happened had it not been for the vision. Go check out the web site and see the donor names listed.

1976 Habitat for Humanity was started by Millard and Linda Fuller.
In 1984, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn took their first Habitat work trip, the Jimmy Carter Work Project, to New York City. Their personal involvement in Habitat’s ministry brought the organization national visibility and sparked interest in Habitat’s work across the nation. HFHI experienced a dramatic increase in the number of new affiliates around the country.

The vision is what is important. The Fuller’s had the vision, but Jimmy Carter brought it into the light. Brad had the vision, and brought it into the light by his personal involvement. Stop trying to find something bad in something good that is helping people in need.

You are unhappy much. Peace

PT - I agree w/ you about that whiny fraud- I haven’t read any of the her last interviews except for the EW and that’s b/c I automatically clicked on a link someone posted; and that’s time wasted that I will never get back. I also never click on her threads anymore b/c I don’t want her to get any hits from me - and if more people did that she would probably disappear sooner. That beeyotch is beyond pathetic and manipulative…. I can’t wait to see her reap what she’s been sowing for a while.

Great picture.
Thanks for the new thread Jared.

oops my bad. Thanks for the information. Please disregard.

You know, life is too short to waste on such a non-entity as Maniston, I really do believe her stupidity, contradictory bullsh*t, hypocrisy, and vindictiveness are now evident to all due to her last couple of ‘pieces,’ pimping her dog movie — the best is that she’s so brain-dead, she’s now pimping Brad’s movie FOR him, and he hasn’t said jacksh*t about her!! ROFLMAO!! Too TOO hilarious. WE JP fans have it good with the sheer entertainment value and scahdenfreude(sp) homely b*tchiston gets.

Next time, however I think I will answer like this –

(((((BAM!!!!!))))))

It is nice to see Changeling getting some recolonization. It is a very well made film with straight forward direction and Angelina Jolie gave an amazing performance. With some of the blogger smears and attempt to derail the film, Changeling is a movie that is proving above the fray. I am looking forward to seeing Benjamin Button also.

NBR names ‘Slumdog’ best of year
David Fincher wins directing kudos for ‘Button’
12/04/2008

Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” from Fox Searchlight was named the best picture of 2008 by the National Board of Review, while David Fincher nabbed directing honors for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

CLINIQUA…..

You are some piece of work…LOL!

Faye88 @ 12/04/2008 at 4:14 pm
It is nice to see Changeling getting some recognition. It is funny how some bloggers tried to smear the movie and kill the buzz, but Changeling rises above the fray. It is a very good movie and AJ gave a great performance. I also enjoyed Burn After Reading and looking forward to the Benjamin Button Movie.

Arcade Fire Lend “Body” to Benjamin Button TV Spot

Big is a movie about a kid who gets his wish to be a grown-up, Jack is a movie about a kid who looks like a grown-up, Youth Without Youth is a movie about a grown-up who grows younger, and, well, the forthcoming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button appears to roll aspects of all these films into one.

Starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, Panic Room), Button looks to be quite the drama-rama– which may explain why some savvy marketing person decided to soundtrack a TV spot for the film with a portion of the Arcade Fire’s grandiose, organ-saturated Neon Bible closer “My Body Is a Cage” [via The Playlist]. Check it:

CLINIQUA @ 12/03/2008 at 11:00 pm

Brad didn’t even work while he was a walking dead man married to maniston - so why are you making him this ambitious salivating career man NOW…any idiot can see that Brad is encouraged to do what he does NOW *BY & BECAUSE* of Angelina, fool.

- Um:
Fight Club
Snatch
Oceans 11
Ring any bells??? I guess only idiots remember, huh?

http://www.informativepost.com/2008/12/04/Five-of-the-Best-Films-of-2008-2631.htm

One of the unfortunate casualties of the bad economy was the film industry, with less people willing to shell out their dwindling cash reserve to go to the cinema.

There were, though, a few movies that were well worth the financial sacrifice of buying a ticket in 2008.

Five of the most notable were:

Changeling

Directed by Clint Eastwood
, Changeling was, I believe, misjudged by some critics who deemed it, unfairly, as not being up to Eastwood’s usual standards. The film is based upon a real life story that occurred in 1928. Angelina Jolie proves, in her performance, that she is more than just Brad Pitt’s significant other, but is a compelling artist in her own right. Jolie plays Christina Collins, a devoted mother whose 9-year-old son disappears. A boy is returned to her, but she informs the LAPD, that he is, in fact, not her child. The ensuing cover-up causes her to be wrongly persecuted for her insistence upon disclosing the truth, as the corrupt LAPD attempts to discredit her. Others in the cast include John Malkovich, Michael Kelly and Colin Feore, but it is Jolie, as the determined mother, who pulls at our emotions and makes Changeling worth seeing.

I think I read somewhere, BP did not work for 2 years while married to Whiny. He was working on the Beverley Hills Mansion and the nursery.
However, since both of those did not pan out, he moved on with his life and has the children he always wanted. Life has a way of working things out.

Okay. This post went in moderation. However, I meant it is great that Changeling is getting recognition. Too funny.

http://www.thedaily.com.au/news/2008/dec/05/aap-blanchett-talked-brad-pitt-into-new-film/

Blanchett talked Brad Pitt into new film

5th December 2008

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett says she had to help talk Brad Pitt into joining the cast of their soon-to-be-released film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

The movie, which is loosely based on a story by F Scott Fitzgerald, tells the tale of a baby called Benjamin who is born as an old man.

Pitt stars as Benjamin and lives his life becoming younger and younger, while Blanchett co-stars as his ageing girlfriend, Daisy.

The Australian actress says Pitt was initially unsure whether to do the film.

“I don’t blame him,” she told the latest issue of British Vogue.

“I think he was just thinking, six hours, every day, in make-up.

“It’s quite wearisome.

“But we kept saying, `Do it. It’s a really good idea - it’s not The Grinch!”

During the film, Daisy and Benjamin drift apart because of their different ageing processes.

“Really, it’s star-crossed lovers; they can’t always be with each other,” Blanchett said.

“There’s so much yearning - and yearning is the life-blood of film.”

The film, which has already generated plenty of Oscar buzz, is due to open in the United States on Christmas Day.

bdj @ 12/04/2008 at 5:20 pm

Well I read all that at imdb and bradpittfan. com.
Please find the article you read, please post it.

Playtex @ 12/04/2008 at 5:25 pm
Fight Club was when they were dating and I think Whiny took on 6 movies after Friends ended. They both had different goals in life and their marriage suffered. However, they have both moved on and Life is good. Peace

Poor Jen has really boxed herself in. She is too busy explaining the Vogue interview and not much on the Dog movie. However, BP and AJ have done a great job in promoting their movies and continuing their humanitarian projects. The more Whiny talks, the more she backtracks. Too funny.

LAdy in Red @ 12/04/2008 at 5:47 pm

When I read Cliniqua’s comments I can almost hear her maniacal laghter ringing in my ears. She is funny. Not in the “you are cool” kind of way, but in the “girl, easy with the mushrooms” kind of way.

interesting maniston can’t stop talking about brad and ang, and since this summer starting with venice and up to today, brad has not mentioned jennypoo’s name or even been asked a question about her,lol, the shame.

Another interview with Taraji with exclusive clips from Benjamin Button

How was working with Brad Pitt?

TPH: He’s incredible. Brad is an amazing talent. He hit this one out of the ballpark because he was subtle to all these amazing characters that he encountered. They all made a dent in Benjamin Button’s life.

What did you learn from working with David Fincher on this film?

TPH: In working with David Fincher, I just learned patience. David likes to do a lot of takes, which now I’m a huge fan of. Because of that, I expect a lot of takes now on films knowing the director wants to get the scene right. When it comes to the craft, I can be a bit obsessive. I can go away from the scene and I would still obsess over it. When you get a chance to do as many takes as we did on ‘Benjamin Button’, you can still walk away feeling secure, and yet, I would still find a way to obsess.

Is there any particular scene that stood out for you?

TPH: The most endearing thing for me was a scene where the older looking Benjamin gets scolded for playing with a young Daisy. Daisy’s grandmother comes to scold him because he looks like a pervert. People don’t quite understand his disease. All she knows is that there is this old man playing under the table playing with my granddaughter. She scolds him and they go upstairs and Queenie holds him and breaks it down to him and lets him knows that people aren’t going to know how to treat him and respond to him because of his appearance. I’m a single mother raising an African American son and that’s a conversation that I have had quite often with him about how some people will judge him based on the color of his skin.

Have you been paying any attention to the Oscar buzz you’re receiving for this performance?

TPH: I leave that up to the stars. I’m honored to have my name in that position, but I’m just taking it one day at a time and leaving that up to God.

Pitt’s homes open doors to families

Families are moving into the first six houses built through Brad Pitt’s Make It Right foundation in Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.
One home was already strewn with green garland, lights, wreaths and red bows but the Hollywood actor admits there is much more to do.

Pitt said: “I’m really happy for the families that are going to be here, but I can’t help but think about the families that aren’t.

“It’s a push-pull for me. The excitement is that it’s being proven that it’s working. The frustration is that we have a long way to go.”

Make It Right was launched by Pitt a year ago. The programme calls for construction of 150 energy-efficient homes in a section of New Orleans washed away when Katrina broke levees on August 29, 2005.

So far, six homes have been built. Two more are under way, and construction on another 14 begins in early 2009.

Pitt said that by December 2009, the Lower ninth Ward should be one of America’s largest “green” neighbourhoods.

Inez Converse, 71, isn’t concerned about her area setting any records. She’s just happy to be back in the neighbourhood she lived in for more than 35 years before Katrina. And she said she was glad she had the chance to thank Pitt personally.

Pitt descibed his new film, The Curious case of Benjamin Button, as “a love letter to New Orleans”. “There’s a sense of magic here, so it made this fantastic story almost believable,” he said.

Pitt said his fondness for the city led him and partner Angelina Jolie to buy an early-1830s masonry mansion in the French Quarter.

JM @ 12/04/2008 at 6:17 p
Geez the 40 year old girl did mention Miley Cyrus in her interview. The Jonas Bros better watch out. Jen is really regressing. she is obviously dreading getting older. That is why the hens and trolls harp on BP and AJ looks so much and try to post unflattering pictures to prove their points. However, the thing they forget is BP and AJ are comfortable with themselves. They have more important things to worry about than getting older. They seem to embrace it and consider each year a learning experience.

ps the jonas brothers wouldn’t touch the maniston with a 10ft pole,lol

Jennifer Aniston to NYT’s Caryn James: “Who fcuking sh*t in your Wheaties?”

That’s the same Caryn James who wrote the nasty piece on Angie back in 2007 if you remember. She gets no love from neither woman I’m sure!

Is she still writing for New York Times?

Who knew Jenny had such a potty mouth?

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

How come we never heard about the article on Maniston? She wrote it in 2006. She probably got the wrath from the fanistons, so like a coward, she turned around and wrote a slandering one on Angelina. One that is solely based on tabloid sh’it. I don’t mind journalists criticizing someone, but they have to base their comments on facts, not tabloid rumors.

Brad PItt Talks to Larry King About New Orleans Building Campaign
By Brad Belote

Dec 4, 2008

Brad Pitt may be best known as an actor and partner of Angelina Jolie, but he’s also an activist.

In fact, Pitt is the founder of Make It Right Foundation New Orleans Louisiana.

It’s an organization dedicated to rebuilding the city following the damage
caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Earlier this week, Pitt spoke to CNN’s Larry King about the revitalization
efforts in New Orleans.

If it makes you happy, then yes, I am a cow dressed in red. You must need a lot of reassurance in your life. I bet that when you were in preschool, your mother kept telling you how ugly the other little cows were and how lovely you looked in your little dress. Yes, Aeon, I know you were just like a 400 pound doll in your XXXXL pink dress.
How pathetic your only defense is calling me names. Why did you bring the ex in this? She’s not in the picture above. Someone here is obsessed and it isn’t me. That goes for the other poster, what was it? oh yes, JM.

Wow some of these trolls need Anger Management classes. Don’t worry be happy. Whiny cannot give an interview without clarifying her “uncool” statement in vogue and the hens wonder why she is sometimes laughed at on this Blog. She is a big girl, she will be alright.
One thing about AJ, with all the nasty press, interviews taken out of context and smear jobs of the media, AJ rarely comment on it and back- Peddle. She stands by her truth , her past and her life is an open book.

lol, i see we have a maniston cop here to make sure we say nothing bad about maniston, honey your plan is DOA, now go to d-listed and perez and save that crap for them, then go take your meds,lol

Ali @ 12/03/2008 at 11:21 pm

This guy has real charisma and power, but I just don’t get why he is sooooo inarticulate. He must talk to people - all different kinds of people - all day long. So why has he not developed a way of expressing himself that is refined and clear. He needs help. While he is in Germany, or England, or France, or anywhere where people can think and talk, he needs to get coaching in how to talk. Gregory Peck could talk. Bogie could talk. Cary could talk. It’s time for Brad to learn to talk.
********************************************************************************
His inability to express himself in an articulate manner is due to years of pot use.

Do you remember the commercial with a hot frying pan and an egg sizzling when broken into the pan? The announcer then intones off camera “this is your brain on drugs. any questions?’.

Brad Pitt is so the poster child for this commercial.

It’s inexcusable that a person who only speaks one language and was supposedly only a couple of credits short of graduating college with a degree in journalism, can be so incoherent. He needs to look to his buddies Clooney and Damon for help. I now understand why he rarely does interviews. Can you imagine him on Letterman? He would totally be a fish out of water!

medulla @ 12/04/2008 at 7:39 pm
Too funny. Bump that day ole comment. When you can have a successful production company, one of the highest paid actor, Real-estate developer, humanitarian, designer and spear head a mufti-million dollar charity effort, then come back and talk. Being shy and hesitate does not make you un-intelligent. However, being a rocket scientist on a blog must come easy and a dime a dozen.

CLINIQUA @ 12/04/2008 at 10:34 am

Pathetic (the EW same ol,’ same ol’ Maniston interview, that is).

This is a 40 yr old woman talking:

Hannah Montana as metaphor, fruity pebbles, kashi cereal, Luke & Laura??

Oh. My. God. Shameful liar Aniston.

AS USUAL: she’s whining about her circumstances throughout her interviews, whining about tabloids, whining about other people’s expectations, claiming she’s moved on, while STILL talking about the same EXACT subjects and issues and PEOPLE she spoke of in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008…and always making sure she never NEVER absolves anyone of the manufactured PR story that poor poor pitiful Jen’s life was wrecked.

She makes it clear today, at this point in time that Brad has gotten his clearance, yet Angelina Jolie she will keep as her ace in the hole - the beautiful Oscar winning young woman that makes others rally to ‘jen’s’ side. Angelina, the woman that will take the arrows and hits that come her way due to Aniston’s manipulative sneaky potshots

…but we can’t call Aniston ‘catty,’ she says…..hmmm…really?? REALLY?? Not even after describing Jolie’s comments in an almost two year old article as “inappropriate,” not even after saying Jolie’s descriptions of a burgeoning friendship with Pitt was “uncool,” not even after Aniston vaguely says something about “things (she) was unaware of that were happening,” during the MAMS shoot she makes plain, these are “things,” of course that she will NOT elaborate on..Aniston will just be happy to leave it out there for people in her camp to stew on and of course blame the ‘femme fatale,’ Angelina for. Again, because Brad has been absolved by Pope Aniston evidently. Her parting shot at Jolie, is Aniston’s laughing at what she says is “the funniest thing she ever saw,” (a cartoon of her loading up a shotgun to shoot Jolie)…..

…have we arrived at “catty,” yet?? I’d say malicious, vindictive and deceptive is more up Aniston’s alley.

Aniston says the ‘Team Aniston,’ shirts were flattering. Yet she decries the tabloids and tabloid mentality that created them and even infers they are best ignored, and not paid attention to — by posing the old ‘if a bear sh*t in the woods, who would be there to hear it?,’ quandary…. but it’s very VERY clear, that with the aforementioned ‘team’ comment, the moaning about the tabloid speculation, ANISTON HERSELF is the one listening, and sniffing up the sh*t the hardest of us all.

LOL. How dumb is this woman?

By saying the ‘team’ thing was flattering - she’s saying she felt good to ‘win,’ the perceived celebrity tabloid bullsh*t ‘war’ AGAINST another woman, who had absolutely nothing to do with Brad Pitt leaving you. That you claimed in VF you didn’t blame to begin with??!!

Contradictory much?? Passive Aggressive much?? Yes, of course.

Same double speak, same passive aggressiveness at play. It’s her last sick revenge against Brad, TRY to make his woman and the mother of his children suffer under her once again falsely created acrimony, her slings and arrows. That might work, if it was NOT Angelina Jolie we’re talking about. If Angelina were as weak and silly and shallow as Aniston, she would be in a fetal position crumpled up in a ball…not having 6 kids in 3 years, winning critical acclaim for her roles, and saving the world.

Of course, Aniston has to pose as a benevolent forgiver….urging others to get a life, saying she’s moved on — but keeping that small bit of acrimony, that bitterness STILL in play…making her hens and followers wonder …..it’s her ‘wink wink knudge knudge,’ to her ‘team’ mates, all those that rally round the flag that is Jen Aniston, TV sit-com actress and 90s hair icon…..

…..as if to get the minivan brigade that still supports this flake to say, ‘Hmmm….we don’t really KNOW what happened to ‘Brad and Jen,’ Jen’s not keeping her lips sealed, but we ARE able to see that she forgives Brad and has curiously just recently started snarking on Angelina - that is our cue to keep the snark and bitterness for Jolie alive and well in the name of Aniston. Afterall, Jen isn’t speaking glowingly of Angelina, as a matter ogf fact she’s inferring Angelina did….well…something….right???

…and yes, with yet another dumb asss interview, she keeps the triangle alive - and has given the acrimony towards Angelina new legs possibly….it may be on life support, much like Aniston’s career…but she’s kept it breathing.

If the woman knows anything at all about Brad Pitt, she knows that will annoy and disgust him most of all. Brad once said, ‘make me the bad guy,’ and jen and stephen are not ABOUT to give him what he wants. The ‘catty,’ ex, and the mean PR queen Huvane, LIKE beating up the beautiful young mother and Oscar winner that Brad loves more than life.

Nice stratgey Stephen. The sit-com fool isn’t that smart. But u do earn your keep buddy. Karl Rove and you are like peas in a pod.

Spy Game ,The Mexican, Fight Club, Snatch Oceans 11. all these films were shot from year 1998 to 2000. Troy, Ocean’s 12 ,MMS were shot from May 2003 to 2004.

Brad didnt’ make any major movies from 2001 to 2002. as he said in his interview that he was preparing to start a family, he’s seek the help of a shrink so not to mess up with kids as jenjen told him he was still not prepared to be a father. ( stated in his interview on late 2001) building his dream family home , preparing to start a family , and lastly working for his marriage. but unfortunately, X does not appreciate it.

Brad finally wake up in 2003, he knew he couldn’t accomplished his dream with Ms Whinny bitxh, he knew Whinny was lying all the way. So he proceeded with his life, shooting movies back to back from May to Dec. 2003 for Troy, Dec.2003 to April 2004 MMS, movie promotion in between, May 2004 to June or Aug. 2004 OC12, then African Humanitarian works. movie promotion for Oc12.

His Pants!

There is nothing wrong with your eyes. That is indeed the GMD. And his pants… his pants are hanging ever so slightly better. Slightly. An infinitesimal amount. But an infinitesimal improvement nonetheless.

How did this happen?

Well, he looks like he’s lost weight. Probably working out super hard to promote Valkyrie. Those bulging biceps! That flat stomach!

Oh but then there’s the face.

Tom Cruise is aging. It’s a queen’s greatest fear.

This of course is why he keeps trying to recapture the past. Valkyrie, however futile, is an exercise in youth reclamation. A decent film with some very good performances (Bill Nighy) but ruined by the miscasting of one Gay Midget Dwarf who turns a serious movie into an absolute farce.

And this of course is why he’s so seriously hustling. Like HUSTLING. Hustling all the way up here in Canada next week.

That’s right, Tom Cruise will be in Toronto for a media blitz…

Live interviews with MTV Canada and MuchMusic on Monday. Then Live @ eTalk on Tuesday. And also an appearance with George Stroumboulopoulos on The Hour.

Once upon a time, Tom Cruise would NEVER have had to work this hard.

Brad Pitt will never have to work this hard. Brad Pitt sits in New Orleans and expects Larry King and Ellen to interview him via satellite.

It is a new world for Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is hard up.

Well, Angelina has described herself as being shy, (Anthony Hopkins has said the same thing about her as well) but she is certainly not INARTICULATE. Again, I don’t get the connection between being shy and Pitt basically giving incoherent interviews for the most part. I don’t even know why I’m bothering with you lot. As I said earlier you all have the emperor has new clothes syndrome and show no signs of being cured any time soon.

Congrats to BAR, Changeling and TCCOBB for making NBR list of top 10 films.

X is self absorbed. Major newspapers sold out the day after Obama was elected and it wasn’t because of her.

Got my January AD with Brad Pitt on the cover in the mail today. Great article on Make It Right and the houses look gorgeous. (So does Brad, but hey, it’s an architecture magazine.)

Mr. Pitt for being an “artist” (Angie is being too kind), is speech challenged and should make efforts to rectify this situation.
*******************************************************************************************

He sounds perfectly intelligible to me. I don’t think he’s speech challenged, I think you’re brain challenged. In other words, you have the IQ of a retarded amoeba. Unfortunately, there’s no remedy for that, so you’ll just have to stew in your own stupidity. Pity.

277, he’s a famous actor it doesn’t take much to get people to do what he wants.

HELLO! @ 12/04/2008 at 8:29 p
Tell that to Whiny. Maybe she can get a distributor, ratings on 30Rock and Oprah and sell the dog movie. NOT

Ali @ 12/03/2008 at 11:21 pm

This guy has real charisma and power, but I just don’t get why he is sooooo inarticulate. He must talk to people - all different kinds of people - all day long. So why has he not developed a way of expressing himself that is refined and clear. He needs help. While he is in Germany, or England, or France, or anywhere where people can think and talk, he needs to get coaching in how to talk. Gregory Peck could talk. Bogie could talk. Cary could talk. It’s time for Brad to learn to talk.
********************************************************************************
His inability to express himself in an articulate manner is due to years of pot use.

Do you remember the commercial with a hot frying pan and an egg sizzling when broken into the pan? The announcer then intones off camera “this is your brain on drugs. any questions?’.

Brad Pitt is so the poster child for this commercial.

It’s inexcusable that a person who only speaks one language and was supposedly only a couple of credits short of graduating college with a degree in journalism, can be so incoherent. He needs to look to his buddies Clooney and Damon for help. I now understand why he rarely does interviews. Can you imagine him on Letterman? He would totally be a fish out of water!

Right on!

You dumbazz , Angie have never been shy of expressing herself. What Anthony Hopkins said was that Angie was little shy about outcome of some particular scenes from Beowulf.

Way to go Brad. :) He and Angelina are so kind-hearted, giving and genuine in their desire to help the less fortunate, they deserve all the happiness they have in their life together. They’re blessed. :)

BDj, whiny bitchingston is not an A list actor. The only power she has belongs to her Publicist.

I think it’s highlarious that Aniston admits that 1. she reads their intervies and 2. watches their movies.

Aniston fans? I think your girl is a brangelinaloonie.

“If you read the script,” says Fincher of the decades covered in “Benjamin Button,” “you might go, ‘Holy ****.’ But when you plan it out, and you say, this is going to be in a tank at Sony, and this is going to be in Montreal, and you start breaking it down into its fractal pieces, it’s a lot of material, but it’s not as huge as it seemed upon first blush.”

While Fincher admits he spent some 25 months worrying about whether the special effects would succeed — whether Brad Pitt’s 80-year-old face would look credible on the body of a small actor — he was perfectly comfortable working with those high-tech tools needed to pull off the illusion. “I work in Hollywood,” he says. “Isn’t that the fun part?”
Three filmmakers widen their canvas
Luhrmann, Nolan, Fincher tackle biggest pics ever

Fincher describes himself as a “workflow guy,” heralding a data-processing system called PIX (Project Information Exchange), which includes everything related to the film from the script to location photos to dailies, as “one of the ways we made ‘Benjamin’ possible. To me, that’s as important as making the digital process work or having the right camera,” he says. “It’s not just about the aesthetic, but how do you communicate that aesthetic among 350 people?”

Brad Pitt, Steve Bing steadfast in New Orleans support

The actor and the producer-financier have spend their time (the past year) and money ($5 million each) to aid still-struggling victims of Katrina.
By TINA DAUNT
December 5, 2008
It’s easy to get celebrities to show up for a cause. Follow-through is another matter. When it happens, it makes all the difference.

Take Brad Pitt’s yearlong effort to assist residents of New Orleans’ ravaged Lower 9th Ward return to their own homes. Twelve months ago, amid of blaze of international publicity, Pitt and producer-financier Steve Bing launched a private effort (kicking in $5 million each) to build safe, affordable housing for people who had lost all to Hurricane Katrina’s savagery.

More than a few stars would have basked in the attention and moved on to the next project or fashionable cause. Pitt and Bing have stuck with the 9th Ward throughout the effort. And this week, they were on hand to watch families moving into the bright new homes that guarantee them a future in the city they loved.

Pitt told reporters it was a bittersweet moment.

“I’m really happy for the families that are going to be here, but I can’t help but think about the families that aren’t,” Pitt said. “It’s a push-pull for me. The excitement is that it’s being proven, that it’s working. The frustration is that we have a long way to go.”

*****Others have similar thoughts, which is why members of President-elect Barack Obama’s circle of advisors are floating Pitt’s experience as a new model for celebrity activism that the incoming administration would like to encourage.****

“I’ve had at least 10 calls from Hollywood people who have an idea they want to get off the ground now that they feel there is a president in Washington who wants to partner,” said Kristina Schake, a longtime industry politics and policy consultant. (She’s also an advisor to California’s first lady, Maria Shriver.) “Celebrities are longing to be involved, whether it’s on issues like diabetes or domestic violence or healthcare for children. The Obama administration would be incredibly smart to tap into that.”

Pitt and Bing have done more than simply lend their names and money to the New Orleans project, called the Make It Right Foundation. They’ve enlisted a coterie of world-class architects, including L.A.’s Thom Mayne, to design the houses, which cost an average of $150,000 each.

They’ve also made it possible for people of more ordinary means to participate by going to their website, http://www.. You can sign up to simply donate money, or go on a virtual shopping spree, buying such accessories as water heaters and rooftop solar panels for the new homes.

There will be plenty of opportunity in the years ahead. So far, six homes have been built (one of them is already decorated for Christmas). Construction on two others is underway. Work on 14 more is scheduled to begin early next year.

“You’re going to see 100 homes here, mark my words,” Pitt predicted earlier this week. “It’s nice to see a few, but I’m anxious to see 100, 150, 1,000.”

As Pitt told Cause Célèbre in New Orleans a year ago that the notion of home and family always have been of vital importance to him. When he saw the people of New Orleans stripped of both, it struck him not simply as an act of nature or even a tragedy, but as an injustice America could not allow to pass.

“It will be great to see barbecues in the backyards and kids riding their bikes on the streets again,” said Pitt, whose fondness for New Orleans prompted him and wife Angelina Jolie to buy an early-1830s masonry mansion in the French Quarter.

This week was a particularly busy one for Pitt, who also attended a special New Orleans screening of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” which was filmed in the city. (Pitt’s character, Button, begins life as an old man and then grows younger with time. There’s considerable Oscar buzz around the movie and his performance.)

The actor told a local journalist that the film was a “love letter” to the storm-ravaged city that has become his growing family’s home. “There’s a sense of magic here, so it made this fantastic story almost believable,” he said.

He added: “It’s a gorgeous, gorgeous film. It’s a film that makes you want to hug your kids and call your folks.”

Love letters, though, are like activism: They can be beautiful in the moment, but it is the follow-up that counts.

Good evening, ladies…

Well, Fcukface Puckerbutt lived up to her name, hasn’t she? Initially, I was very annoyed that, yet again, she dragged Brad and Angelina into her promotional campaign until I saw the Mayer post on Perez. Dude is so desperate to be relevant that he praddled on about his contribution to the preparation of the much-lamented Obama cake.

The Obama cake that ___ and Oprah discussed, at length on the Marley and Me/Beyonce episode.

Quite a guy you got there, ___; he just sparkles, doesn’t he?

And yet, you continue to talk about Brad?

HUH, 286 was my first post. That’s hardly 24/7. when was your first post BDJ and HUH? never mind i don’t care. :lol: what you do with your time is none of my beezwax.

andamentothat,brad pitt likes to downplay Angelina, too. don’t play the double standard game. bad when others do the same thing pitt is doing?

I’m already bored! Did y’all see the cool old school Hollywood Pix of Tomcat? teehee Tootles.

piper, with a low @ 12/04/2008 at 8:59 pm
Yep. He pretty much called Whiny a liar. You know you are a desperate publicity hound when you whine about a cake. Can’t talk about your girl and how much you admire her. Nah, just a cake. If that was BP, the hens would be clicking and clacking about breakups and free angie. No free whiny.

KatE in control?

So the GMD and Robo appear on the cover of T: the NY Times Style Magazine due out on Sunday. Each girl gets her own cover, each was interviewed separately, each gushed sugar rape Rossum styles about their love.

But first…

Katie Holmes insists she can think for herself:

“There’s a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn’t have any control of her life. And that’s pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I’ve made choices in my life that have been very strong.”

Yes. I’m totally convinced. Are you?

KatE goes on to explain that she fell in love with the GMD instantly:

“When I met Tom I was completely in love and, yes, I admired him growing up – he’s Tom Cruise! … When I met him, he was so warm and I thought, Wow! You can be a superstar and a human being. He made me feel so amazing.”

Ew.

As for what we say about her, the gossip, the tabloid fixation, our worry that half her brain is missing – KatE doesn’t care:

“My life has expanded. My family and friends are all part of this bigger life. I have too much to do. I’m a mom and an actress with a play to do every night. I can’t pay attention to all that noise.”

Xenu’s eager pupil, non?

As for Tom Cruise…well he reveals that the two were so smitten with each other they had to have an engagement race-off!

What?

Who says this sh-t?

Apparently he bought her engagement ring immediately after their first meeting.

Can you imagine?

If some dude bought my engagement ring right after our first date, there would be no second date. Gross!

This however, obviously, wasn’t a dealbreaker for KatE, oh no. She then told him that she dreamed of being his wife when she was a little girl. So he promised her that “I wouldn’t want to disappoint her.”

To borrow from Madonna – get me outta here, I’m gagging!

But it only gets worse.

“I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her. After our very first date, I was sure. At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I cut her off by changing the subject. I wanted to ask her.”

Next … the videos.

Both KatE and Tom sat down for the Times Screen Test. F-ck these two are weird.

She is completely devoid of…anything. Is constantly censoring herself. Her clip is edited to death, making you wonder what they had to cut out. And she can’t even bring herself to talk about a first date – as if boys didn’t exist before Tom came round!

Zero personality. It’s fascinating only because you keep waiting for her to grow some charm. And it never, ever happens.

As for him…

It bothers me he seems incapable of referring to anyone by their first and last name. It’s always “Newman” when referring to Paul Newman. As if by doing so, his **** is bigger. Then he makes a point of suggesting that he didn’t have to audition for the sex scene in Risky Business because “they thought he could do it”, like there would be no doubt that Tom Cruise could work it in the bed. What?

When the talk turns to his first movie date, he names Smokey and the Bandit and then says he was attracted to the girl because she ate a lot of ice cream.

Oh hi Gay. How are you?

By the time his Donald Duck impression comes on you’ll be itching with discomfort.

Jenhag Pitt being incoherent as YOU OBSERVED in his interview does not lessen the fact that the man is A SUPERSTAR in his own right. You might think that about him .. but millions of his fans worldwide doesn’t think so.. SO did you make any dent in his SUPERSTARDOM…NOT! Why don’t you go back to X thread and praise your braindead idol and her douchebag bf .

Ok, HELLO is a fan of little dwarf tom. No wonder…. LOL.

dianad1968 @ 12/04/2008 at 9:12 pm

What’s up with X and the sudden “potty mouth”?I think she is finally losing it, and it is the funniest s*it ever. :lol: And what is up with her dredging up comments made 2 years ago, and b**ching about them, like the article writTen about her in the NYT? Can you imagine if Angie had made those comments?

# 191 African Girl @ 12/04/2008 at 12:10 pm Just read JA’s interview with EW and honestly, I don’t know why we bother giving this woman more audience than she deserves. She is so not worth it!! My God! I’ve not come across someone so dumb, so superficial and so freaking self involved as this woman!!

I’ll keep asking. . . Who are the women who identify with her? Where are they from…for goodness sakes, where are they from???!!!!!

It’s sad!
===================================================
I could not agree with you more. I read that and I was like WTF. The woman is my opinion is just plain dumb and stupid. My little sister is 18 and she is more intelligent and have more sense that this woman who is almost 40. And the women who identify with her are just like her, plain, dumb and stupid

Jolie-Pitt Foundation Awards Second Grant to Global Action for Children

Washington, D.C. - Today, Global Action for Children (GAC) announced a $100,000 end-of-year-grant from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. The grant will support GAC’s efforts on an Emergency Presidential Initiative for the World’s Children (EPIWC) in the new Obama administration, ensure children are not left off the agenda during the growing financial crisis, and help GAC continue its mission of making every taxpayer dollar more efficient in U.S. foreign assistance for children.

Ms. Jennifer Delaney, Executive Director for Global Action for Children stated, “GAC is honored to receive a second grant from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, and we greatly appreciate the Jolie-Pitt Family’s continued commitment to and support of our work.”

With the economic crisis at hand, poor children across the globe will be hard-hit by the reduction in charitable giving and scaling back of programs that help children. Basics like food, clothing, housing, and education will be even harder to access for the poorest and most vulnerable.

Ms. Delaney continued, “Helping impoverished children cannot be accomplished only by additional taxpayer dollars. The structure of U.S. assistance must be rethought so the bureaucracy can be ’smarter’ and target emerging challenges. We urge the new Obama administration to reform foreign assistance and invest in the health and well-being of children in developing nations.”

The Emergency Presidential Initiative for the World’s Children calls for the coordination of all foreign AIDS programs that support children in developing countries to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently and reach as many children as possible. Ms. Delaney stated, “Establishing an executive-level office to oversee and coordinate foreign assistance programs for children in developing countries will ensure aid is spent on building healthy future civil societies, economic growth and political stability in developing countries-not to mention fulfilling a critical U.S. public diplomacy goal.” Approval ratings of the U.S. have been high in PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) beneficiary countries, but it does require leadership in the executive branch.” The EPIWC calls for investments in child survival measures-such as access to inexpensive lifesaving medicines and vaccines-in early childhood development, basic education, and assisting orphans and children vulnerable to war, disease, pandemics, child labor, and sexual exploitation. All children, everywhere in the world, deserve the chance to grow up healthy and safe.

Ms. Delaney stated, “With the holiday season upon us, we hope the generous gift from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation inspires others to give and focus on assisting orphans and highly vulnerable children around the world. Each and every donation can truly make a difference in the life of a child.”

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

For me, the kicker is that Tinkler’s participation in the cake-making process could turn the stomachs of those who actually ate.

I don’t even want to know what he used to stir the batter.

funny @ 12/04/2008 at 6:47 pm Who knew Jenny had such a potty mouth?
_________________

New strategy.

She was desperate to lose the ‘I’m a weak mealy-mouthed loser victim, please pity me’ - PERSONA, so she was advised by Stephen Huvane to not only b*tch-nip at Angelina in her dog movie PR blitz, but to also start cursing in her interviews.

The pathetic part is, she’s too dumb to realize that her new ’saltier,’ incarnation doesn’t make her interviews any less boring, self-serving and annoying. It just makes them even more cringe-inducing and embarrassing.

Her fake profanity for profanity’s sake doesn’t equate to automatic wit, interest or humor…it just comes off as her trying desperately and hysterically to re-invent herself as some kind of ’strong hardcore b*tch,’ (hahahahaha!), after creating her own sad pathetic reality as a whiny weak reject loser.

In other words, it’s too late dumbasss. LOL You’re not Courtney Love, Madonna or Pink. Talking trash this late in the game, and trying to come off as nonchalant and dismissive w/ profanity at the 11th hour after whinily suckling on Okra’s teat, and having her throw you champagne slumber parties, while various women’s magazines dry your tears as you snivel more in each successive interview, inferring how you’ve been ‘done wrong,’ and manufacturing the ‘poor Jen,’ creation - cannot be undone. Hell, most people probably feel that the Olsen Twins & the pre-teen Disney sit-com stars could eat this b*tch for dinner and teach her lessons in how to be a strong female role model.

Aniston is a JOKE. A terribly unfunny self-conscious boring asss’d joke.

…by the way, HAHAHAHAH!!! OMG Did you see the latest??! — Mayer came out and said Aniston lied about baking that cake on Oprah. He said it was his design that HE shared with her - that he’s been baking for years (on his blog he invites fans to share their cake designs and he posts the pics - it’s kinda cute if a bit weird…oh no…he’s not GAY…whatever gave you that idea?? bahaha..)…anyway…he says she took credit for the whole thing on Okra. Hilarious. John, you really deserve better. She’s a lying manipulative no-talent middle-aged douche. You’re just a douche. Dump her JM. LOL

. . . being shy does NOT make one inarticulate.

#############

Well, of course, it can. Are you completely clueless about human behavior? Try using your name for a change.
************************************************************************
Well, Angelina has described herself as being shy, (Anthony Hopkins has said the same thing about her as well) but she is certainly not INARTICULATE. Again, I don’t get the connection between being shy and Pitt basically giving incoherent interviews for the most part. I don’t even know why I’m bothering with you lot. As I said earlier you all have the emperor has new clothes syndrome and show no signs of being cured any time soon.

#########

I’ll try again.

Being shy CAN make you inarticulate. Not HAS to make you inarticulate. Different people react differently at different times. If a situation is important to you as opposed to a situation you’re either used to or don’t care as much about then you might not be affected in the same way. Really, you don’t know this? A serious project such as MIR can easily instill a case of nerves in someone who can talk more easily about a life long career or when joking around. In serious situations a speaker should be aware that their words matter and be more careful in choosing them. Do I need to go into how someone may perspire in different ways depending on the situation? How differences in their pulse rate? This is not advanced calculus. It is just basic knowledge of life.

Pitt seemed fine. It was early and NOLA was chilly that morning. Maybe he needed to warm up. I don’t make my best arguments first thing in the morn ing either. Get a life and lay off this man who is beyond reproach on this matter. It matters not what fancy words he uses. What he is DOING is what matters.

I cannot believe I just wasted time on this when I know full well posters like medulla and other trolls are deliberately yanking chains.

When did all the DListers get the idea that it was “cool” to descend here and play high school TPers? I personally think it’s mostly the FFers and ex-MLers who started populating DListed a while ago. It’s not hard to spot familiar rants. They were always bragging about coming here and trying to get a stir out of people. Like they do now at DListed.

Brad Pitt, Steve Bing steadfast in New Orleans support

Alex Brandon / Associated Press

Brad Pitt walks in the Lower 9th Ward in the area where homes are being built for the Make It Right Foundation.

They’ve also made it possible for people of more ordinary means to participate by going to their website, http://www.. You can sign up to simply donate money, or go on a virtual shopping spree, buying such accessories as water heaters and rooftop solar panels for the new homes.

There will be plenty of opportunity in the years ahead. So far, six homes have been built (one of them is already decorated for Christmas). Construction on two others is underway. Work on 14 more is scheduled to begin early next year.

Why? …because they want to SELL F*CKING DVDs BABY!!! YESSSS!!

When did all the DListers get the idea that it was “cool” to descend here and play high school TPers? I personally think it’s mostly the FFers and ex-MLers who started populating DListed a while ago. It’s not hard to spot familiar rants. They were always bragging about coming here and trying to get a stir out of people. Like they do now at DListed.

You see the Anustoloonies in Dlisted are a bunch of mental patients and women that were dumped by their BF/husband. They can’t accept the fact that there are millions of people who like/admire Angelina Jolie.

Oprah’s Got Chutzpah
By Simon Scowl

First Oprah refused to have Sarah Palin on her show because she didn’t want to influence the election. Despite the fact that she’s had Obama on the show, and even publicly endorsed him last May. It was the first time she’d ever endorsed a politician.

Then she produced Obama’s half-hour infomercial. Which, in addition to her endorsement, might have had a little bit of influence on the election.

Now she’s complaining that Palin hasn’t done her show yet:

“I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over,” Oprah reveals to Extra. “I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta Van Susteren. She talked to Matt Lauer. She talked to Larry King, but she didn’t talk to me. But maybe she’ll talk to me now that she has a book deal.”

Palin’s an expert at hunting moose. This might be the first time she’s been hunted by one.

Can somebody explain what’s in it for Palin? Was she supposed to hit up Oprah’s cell as she was weaving back and forth and weeping in Grant Park? “Hi, Oprah! We both know you’re a total hypocrite who did everything within your power to elect Obama, but now that it only does one of us any good, could you please have me on your show at your earliest convenience? Pretty please?” Oh, you betcha.

I’m the biggest liberal ever - but after reading Oprah’s snarky arrogant comment - I hope she stays off this disingenuous b*tch’s show. True colors right here, y’all. I think Okra and maniston are a lot alike, narcissistic arrogant b*tch’s. Be honest - say you’re a democrat, and you didn’t want to have her on as you had endorsed a candidate for the first time, and couldn’t be fair - don’t claim your show was somehow out of the political process (it wasn’t) then snarkily infer that Palin will come crawling now that she has a book deal. I think I’ll buy Palin’s book just to spite Oprah.

alexanderina, thank you for the article on Brad and Bing. Sounds like a law firm. Hopefully this will answer the trolls you were wondering why Brad was getting all of the attention for makeitright. PT explained silent partner. And I offered up an explanation.

Well it seems Mr. Bing was there on Wednesday along with Brad. So had he wanted to participate in the interview with Brad I am pretty certain he would have. Therefore I conclude that there isn’t a conspiracy to over expose Mr Pitt.

This is MHO on the x and her mentioning of Brad and his movies in all of her recent interviews. I agree with everything the fans have said. But I also think she wants Brad to respond. She wants him say something about he praising him or his movie or both.

For him to respond to her dribble will give her miles, and miles, miles talking points in the press. I just pray that if any reporter brings it, asking him what does he think about x saying she saw his movie, blah, blah, blah. I hope he just says no comment and just ke
