OlderBrad 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.

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.
HELLO! @ 12/04/2008 at 9:01 pm
======
It was your first post under this name. :lol:
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.
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.

ROFLMAO…between his pee s& poo stained hands and her cigarette butts, Gayer should have re-named that cake, ‘A Change Called ECOLI.”
Go here to see Mayer and his fans selection of cakes, including the one Maniston STOLE (scroll down) and tried to front with on Okra. Notice Mayer doesn’t say sh*t about Maniston on his blog. LMAO

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.
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.
I
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.

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.
