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.

Aniston, Huvane and the NYT: A consiracy.
=========================
I had about the same post the other day, except mine wasn’t as well written. ) Anyway, I totally see it that somehow for the pity party to work again, WhinyGirl’s camp had to revive it, and the Angelina’s NYT article was the defibrilator. Then for her to come out after the harm to Angelina has been done, to claim innocence is the lowest of the low. She had to resort to those tactics because she feels her career is threatened. Brad and Angelina will survive, inspite of all the attacks, because they have integrity, talent, and the love and support of their family.
++++++++
Totally agree ! that’s the reason I despite X so much !
She’s such a vindictive , calculative , narcisisstic bitxh.
She had been in the HW business for more than15 yrs. and with the help of her big PR guru Huvane, she sure knew exactly how the game was play . trying to act like some new comers , playing innocence ? Please, who would believed it ?
Thanks bdj for the news articles and links, very much appreciated

Shiloh is in the movie, so I don’t believe she watched it, she is a big fake liar.

I think X saw part of CCOBB when she vacationed in Mexico and David Fincher was there. Im sure David was working on editing of Brad’s movie and have shown part of it to Courtney, David and X. Thats she has seen only one hour of the movie not the whole movie.
Thanks bdj for all the articles, to read your articles is one of the main reason I come to JJ site. Thanks.
filipino fan @ 12/05/2008 at 9:42 am PLEASE HELP ME OUT COZ I DON’T KNOW HOW HW INDUSTRY WORKS.
I read in __ thread replying to the interviewer that she saw an hour of TCCOBB and that it is amazing.
now i don’t want to be critical, but two points:
1. HOW was she able to see an hour of the film and WHERE? does she have any access to the early screening of the movie? or is it just the trailer that she saw?
2. if she saw part of the film and thinks it is amazing, ISN’T IT LOGICAL that you would WANT TO SEE THE FILM TO THE VERY END, HOW THIS AMAZING FILM PANNED OUT? I prefer to read books than watching films, but i think it is the same - you would want to read a good book and finish it (i remember foregoing lunch just to finish a very good book) as in you would want to finish watching an amazing film. otherwise, you can not really say it is amazing.
___________________
Were you the poster named ‘?’ asking the same question on the Maniston thread yesterday - I addressed it. Your answer is below –
CLINIQUA @ 12/05/2008 at 2:23 am Dear ?,
Aniston, due to being 40, beingin the business damn near 25 years (almost as long as Angie’s been on this earth) and as a crappy actress who has made many a crapola rom-com, is one of the over 6000 members of the Academy (they invite 300 or so to join every year in all aspects of show biz) — everyone in HW is eligible - you stand a better chance of getting in if you have big PR agency support.
All of the ‘friends,’ actors for instance, are members, as are all of the cast on King of Queens (bahaha!) — unfortunately it’s not such an exclusive club anymore - if you have greenbacks, a high profile and a good agent to lobby to get you in - and have made a movie or two (even if it sucks donkey bahlllz), you’re in…consequently, Maniston is a member, so is Ray Romano, so is Leah Remini. lol So to are key grips, sound mixers, costume designers, TV writers that have written a film screenplay or two, crappy or not, set designers, etc.
She probably only saw an hour because ‘members,’ of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences get to watch advanced previews and/or are sent truncated clips of films that may be nominated, and/or certain scenes of potential Oscar nominees, to aid them in voting.
Of course, if like Angelina you have won an Oscar, then that’s automatic entry into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - consequently, Angie has been a member since she was 24 yrs old. Also, if like Brad Pitt you have been nominated for an Oscar, that too is automatic entry. ( Brad has been a member since he was 31 or 32 yrs old). They don’t have to lobby, beg and bribe like desperate no-talent TV sh*t-com hacks, like Aniston.
Aniston essentially is like a wedding crasher or an ugly bridesmaid…forever hoping…trying to get leverage with her power PR firms and her bought memberships.
HW has her number…and they’d love to permanently lose it.
Bahahaha
bdj, don’t mind the haters…keep posting your informative articles. Those haters are just jealous of you….they don’t have relevant X articles to post, that’s why they want you to stop posting JP articles which are always very inspiring. So keep it up!!
If x is stiil a voter for the Oscars,the voters have seen the films or on Oprah.

Appreciate your help. thanks a lot.
Great post, bdj. Thanks for being positive and reminding us what’s real as opposed to delusional rants from damaged psyches. You’re a better person than I am. I can’t always resist ignoring the trolls.
Your post deserves a repeat:
bdj @ 12/05/2008 at 8:00 am http://www.makeitrightnola.org
Good Morning all. Yes troll I am stubborn. You can’t keep a good woman down. I believer in being positive and promoting the positive. There are other blogs that celebrate the smears, lies and snark and welcome the crazed rants.
BP and AJ are good people doing some good in the world.
The past is the past and the world will be a better place if people embrace the present. Have a great day and make it a MIR day. Happy TGIF!!!! Check out Changeling this weekend if you have not seen it. I am looking forward to seeing the Benjamin Button movie. Thanks for all the updates Just Jared Sr. Peace to all.
Angie is truly amazing, she is a cut above the rest in HW. She is the top actress in HW today, no doubt about it, and its just so unfair, that she is being compared to an almost has been aniston.
JJ please put up another thread, Angie the highest paid actress in HW and also the most powerful actress.
Just a tiny correction. There are no automatic entries into the Academy. Not even for winners. It is, of course, the norm for winners to be invited after their win - they made one exception that I am aware of when they somehow let Barbra Streisand speed up her membership so she could participate in the voting for the year she won - she had just received her first invitation at the time. If you’ll recall that year Best Actress was a tie between Streisand and Katherine Hepburn. It is not always assured that a nomination will get you an invite.
Also the Academy did not always list their new membership invites. The publication of the list of invites is a fairly new thing. They hold their official membership list close to the vest. It has never been published though it is pretty easy to figure out who is a member and members themselves talk about it publicly.
And, yes, Academy members are shown special screenings around the country for films in Oscar contention. They are the full length movies. At times the director or some of the stars participate in the screening. You can google for the schedules - they are shown from Hawaii to the East Coast. And, of course, members also used to get DVD/Videos of the movies. I’m not sure anymore if they revived that process. There was a big issue about it a few years ago when the major studios decided not to send the screeners to members claiming piracy issues. An interesting law suit arose out of it. Some people claim that rather than piracy it was a ploy to keep members from seeing the smaller, independent movies ( which were beginning to dominate the Oscars ) since the screeners were the only way some members would ever see the smaller movies which obviously show in fewer theaters and for a more limited time. I’m not sure what is going on with screener DVDs now. There are only a limited number of screens and places in L.A., for instance, that are available to show the films in contention during the Oscar race period.
But it is a joke how some people can garner an invite. I remember when Aniston was invited there were howls of derisive laughter and disbelief from the more serious film community and the film discussion boards. But then I think some of the other “Friends” were already members like Lisa Kudrow.
As for Aniston claiming she only saw an hour of BB - Fincher had put together a short screening that was shown at one of the film fests to give people a taste of what he was working on. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t before he had completed all aspects of the film. I saw some reviews of the shortened version earlier this year. Maybe that’s what she saw. There is no way that she wouldn’t want to see Brad interacting with Shiloh if she had the chance. That defies human nature.

******************************************
Im pretty sure Aniston saw the movie because of Fincher while they were in CAbos, not because she is a member of the academy. Thats why she didnt see it all, she saw the unfinished product which Fincher was still working on. And it proves once again, how obsessed Aniston is still with Brad. She has not move on!!!!!!
I remember in Cabo Fincher ignoring X while she opened her legs wide for him to see.Its like Gwyneth going to watch Babel when it came out.They are absessed with Brad.
New thread
——————
Brad is right! He DOES have an unusual family. A very interesting and adorable family. That’s why the JPs have so many admirers.
omg cliniqua i love your comments, i hate manniston the most.
she is such an idiot, manipulator who refused to move on…………… damit chinnifer…
Jennifer is a voting member of the academy:

Just so you know.
Brad is so sweet and a great actor to boot. I enjoy reading about his new life this past 3 plus yrs. his movies his kids and of course his sweetie Angie.
I will be watching TCCOBB on Christmas day with my family so can’t wait. It’s a ritual to enjoy a good movie on Christmas day for us but this will be a first watching Brad da man so it just makes it all that much more exciting.
Enjoyed the video of Brad on Larry King. Excellent!
I have had a crush on this man since seems like forever. He always looks yummy to moi.
Love Ya Brad ..Keep those chicks screaming at your premiers.
We just can’t get enough of you.
Thanks Jared… Lots to catch up on…
Is Brad Pitt Moustache back in style

Thanks for all the shoutouts.
BRAD IS GETTING UGLIER WHILE GETTING OLDER…TSK..TSK…THAT’S WAHT U GET BRAD WHEN YOU’RE WITH ANGELINA, YOU’RE BOTH GETTING UGLIER
ANOTHER FLOP FOR SURE, JUST LIKE ANGELINAS CHANGELING..LOL..
I don’t think his family is that unusual. I know so many families who are foster parents to multicultural children and families who have adopted children from all over in and out of state. The only unusual thing is they have tons of help and live ins. Oh and they can leave the children for days at a time. The families I know can’t do that. I think they think they are more unique than they really are.
