Brad Pitt: I Have An Unusual Family

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.

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

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’.

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.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON

Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is struck with an odd ailment: He ages backwards. Born with the appearance of an 80-year-old man, Benjamin moves through the 20th century growing younger. Meanwhile, his true love Daisy (Cate Blanchett) ages normally. Curious Case teams director David Fincher with Pitt in a film that promises to offer some profound statements on life and love.

…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…….

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

I totally agree with you.
They are not that vain people. They know their priorities in life. They rather do or think what is relevant than what is trivial.

Thanks Jared! I missed the interview, so was glad to have your summary!
Love that he loves NOLA! Love that he loves Angie. LOVE LOVE LOVE his LOVE for his family!

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.

WTF did that poster posted the Old Hag interview here, once again this is a Brad Pitt thread and not the hag thread. I don’t give a f*ck about that woman and I am sure other fans don’t as well

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

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

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.
