Wow. Shock. Trust you to post their pictures even though there are better nominees.

Jolie won’t be nominated. Too crowded. Plus she stole Melissa Leo’s spot.

Brad might get in.

#14, it appears that you need to get a life. You couldn’t sleep because you were nervous about some nominations that you’re not even nominated for? LOL. You take Brangelina fanbotism to a whole new level.

I hate to look at things this way but it’s always so apparent. I guess there are no other races or types of people in the world who can act well. Only Caucasians can. No Latinos, Asians, Africans, Indians, just them, at some point it gets old. There’s probably a whole list of people who did far better than half of the people nominated but since they probably don’t have the beauty, face value, and star power they aren’t nominated. There are probably even people of different sexual orientations that boded well, although they’re not given much of a shot either. I’d just like to see a change in face already.

I’m not saying al that were nominated were undeserving (Heath should get nominated for everything he was so fantastic) but it’s just tiring to see some of the same people al the time as if no one else is better than them. Then again it’s all about ratings so….what do you expect.

B.tch cannot stop talking about Angie. credit jjb

more from the interview:

She also says she’d never sell her baby photos to a magazine, unlike Jolie, who fetched $14 million for shots of twins Knox and Viv.

“That just doesn’t feel right to me….” Aniston says.

(To further end any questions about what Aniston thinks of Jolie, the GQ editor writes simply: “How Jen feels about Angelina is pretty much exactly how you’d think she’d feel.”)

Aniston’s remarks about Jolie aren’t the only thing to raise eyebrows: The actress, 39, poses naked, wearing only a tie, on the cover.

“It felt really good to be that comfortable with myself — and to lie on men as furniture,” she says.

_________________________________________________

OMG! CAN THIS BE TRUE? DID THE B*TCH REALLY GO THERE?

WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT, LOGICAL QUESTION, GIVEN ALL THESE INTERVIEWS IN WHICH, ACCORDING TO HER FANS, “THE INTERVIEWER ASKED HER A QUESTION AND SHE ANSWERED IT” (NEVER MIND THE LITTLE PHRASE KNOWN AS “NO-COMMENT.”):

DOES JEN NOT REALIZE THAT A-L-L THESE INTERVIEWERS ARE JUST BAITING HER?

ROTFLMAO! God…I must be psychic…I just posted on Huffpo’s thread and equated X’s nekkid cover to posing for Playboy…Ho never disappoints me…

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/10/jennifer-aniston-naked-jo_n_150113.html

First of all she’s Photoshopped to the max…and did you notice how her face is kind of obscured by her hair? Aniston is the original butterface.

Also, Aniston must be a complete moron. In the interview she prattles on about empowering women…but yet she poses on the cover like a dog begging for a treat in nothing but a necktie? Oh yeah, Jen…way to empower! Nothing says “I rule my world” like posing butt nekkid on the cover of a men’s magazine. After all, the Playmates have been making the very same declaration for over 50 years. I guess Aniston figures that if it works for Hef, then it’ll work for her.

Aniston poses in the near-nekkid so often that at this point I’d pay her to stay clothed! We get it, Jen, you’re proud of your nearly 40 year-old body. Personally I’m saddened that a 40 year-old woman has so much time and money on her hands that she can afford to do any number of good things for the world she lives in, yet she quite obviously spends all her time, energy and money on keeping her body looking 25. That’s NOT empowering. That’s pathetic.

CONGRATULATIONS, BRAD AND ANGELINA, FOR THE GOLDEN GLOBES NOMINATIONS.

Hope brad and angie get awards they deserve it for the roles they took on,from 3 in the morning brad was up having that make up put on and angie was drained from putting everything in to play christine collins,not impressed with jen at all posing naked for a family film and using brad and angie’s name to promote her movie what is it with this woman,glad he left her my late mother loved brad pitt she watched all his movies even she couldn’t stand jen and that was when he was still married to her,go away jen.

Wouldn’t want to become in between the Brangelina and Aniston hardcore fans, but insulting Aniston doesn’t make you any better. Vice versa for the Aniston fans.

You Brangelina complain that Aniston hasn’t moved on, yet you keep mentioning her. You keep giving her the attention. Yes she sounds desperate in her interviews, but you Brangelina fans sound so bothered!

don't be afraid @ 12/11/2008 at 11:50 am

Angelina looks like a space alien. Really weird.

New interview by Brad. good night,everyone.

Brad Pitt on Shiloh’s film debut

By Ruben V. Nepales
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 21:08:00 12/11/2008

LOS ANGELES, California—There’s an extra reason to watch Brad Pitt’s beautiful, exquisite film, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

Shiloh, the daughter of Brad and Angelina Jolie, makes her movie debut with a cameo appearance. Speaking to reporters last Saturday morning at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, Brad explained how Shiloh snagged a short scene from the twin toddlers who were alternately playing his daughter in “Benjamin Button.”

“Babies have their own schedule,” he said. “Sometimes they’re upset and that’s it. We had one particular day where both twins who were in the film were crying and colic or something. Time was going by. We were sitting and waiting so we just sat Shiloh in. She’s in one of the little shots. I think they digitally changed the color of her hair.”

Last Monday evening, at a private cocktail party in Century City following the premiere of “Benjamin Button,” Angelina Jolie’s eyes sparkled when we mentioned Shiloh’s brief debut.

Fate couldn’t have decided on a more significant movie for Shiloh to debut in. “Benjamin Button” will rank as one of her dad’s best films. The movie, directed by David Fincher (“Se7en,” “Fight Club,” “The Panic Room”) and written by Eric Roth, was based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story of the same name. Fitzgerald’s tale of a man aging backward was inspired by a Mark Twain quote: “Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.”

Significant progress in head placement and digital effects made it possible for David to show Brad going from a man born in his eighties who is growing younger as the story develops. Cate Blanchett, brilliant as usual, Tilda Swinton, Taraji P. Henson, Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng, Jared Harris and Elias Koteas are also in the cast of this film set from the end of World War I to the 21st century.

“The most difficult part was just keeping track of the math,” admitted Brad, who looked sharp in a bold print-on-print three-piece suit by Tom Ford. He explained, “Literally, we had to have someone on the set who had to remind us before the takes and who would say, for example, ‘Benjamin appears 67 now so he’s actually 14.’”

Pure honesty

“As far as my approach is concerned, it was just about pure honesty for me; just how honest we can be with it,” he continued. “Fincher described it really well when we started. It was about the story of a man’s life and the people who leave dents along the way—people who make impressions. I always carried that with me … Fortunately, we had some fantastic actors from Cate, Tilda, Taraji, Jared to Jason so … I didn’t have to push anything up a hill, so to speak.”

“My knees are starting to go,” he said in half-jest about how he related to his character’s aged appearance in the beginning of the film. But as the movie progresses, as Benjamin gets younger-looking, David, aided by cinematographer Claudio Miranda, photographs Brad in what will probably be among the star’s most iconic cinematic images. The golden boy images of Robert Redford in “The Great Gatsby” come to mind.

Asked if the film’s recurring themes of life and death prompted him to think about his mortality, Brad answered, “The thing I walked away with is that time is short. I have to make sure I don’t waste those moments in any kind of pettiness, bitterness, laziness and so on. I surround myself with what’s most important to me and with those people who are most important to me.”

He added, “When we began the film, David had already dealt with the death of his father. Eric had dealt with the death of his mother. About a month into shooting, Angie’s mother passed away so it was this idea of mortality (that permeated this film).”

Waste no time

The actor, who turns 45 next week, stressed, “It makes me want to not waste any time because I’m in a company I really, really love.”

“I had a friend who worked at a hospice and he said something really interesting,” Brad volunteered. “He said people in their last moments do not discuss their successes, awards, trophies, what books they wrote, what they did, what they accomplished. They only talk about their loves and regrets. I think that’s very telling.”

Proof that the Jolie-Pitt kids are so used to their mom and pop as actors is that they were not surprised to see Brad made-up as an old man (the process took almost five hours each morning) on the set. “My kids weren’t thrown by it at all,” he said. “They came up and didn’t even notice. I thought that was really interesting (laughter). It’s still daddy and they didn’t comment on it in any way, especially the youngest ones.”

Prompted for an update on the joys and difficulties of raising twins Vivienne and Knox and how he helps Angelina, Brad said, “Well, it’s really double the pleasure. One (baby) seemed simple and twins are just double the fun. What do I do? I pitch in. I’m fairly good with a diaper and all that.”

Brood of six

As for the matter of having a brood of six young kids, the daddy pointed out, “It’s really important that everyone gets their individual time and group time so it’s a big focus of ours. Some of the nights can get long. The babies are starting to sleep through the night now so it just works.”

On the family’s French language lessons, he admitted, “She (Angelina) is ahead. My synapses seem to have shut down. I’m struggling. My seven-year-old rips it. He’s fantastic. It’s really humiliating but we’re really proud of him. So I’m in ecole (laughter) and it sounds about like that. Merci beaucoup.”

“It’s a nice way of life there,” Brad declared about living part of the time in the South of France. “We were looking for a place where our kids could run free and not be hassled. They seem to care less about us there so it’s a nice relationship with us and the area.”

But home right now is Berlin while Brad is doing “Inglorious ********” with Quentin Tarantino. When we told him about Quentin’s impressive knowledge about certain Filipino films made in the ’60s and ’70s, Brad commented that he was just as amazed with the director’s knowledge of world cinema. The actor appeared very excited about “Inglorious…,” which he described as “outrageous” and “It’s the World War II film to end all World War II films.”

Gold ring band

Brad, who wore a gold band on the ring finger of his right hand, was informed that in Germany, such ring placement meant he was married. He playfully pretended to begin moving the ring as he asked, “Is that right?” But he added, “So be it.”

When a journalist asked Brad if he agreed with what Angelina told us in a recent interview that they’re not quite done yet having more kids, he replied with a smile, “We haven’t found any reason not to yet. It is chaos at moments but there’s such joy in the house. I look down and there’s our boy from Vietnam, our daughter from Ethiopia, our girl who was born in Namibia, our son who’s from Cambodia and they are brothers and sisters, man. They are like blood relations and it is such a sight that make us feel elated. Given that with our jobs, we have the capability to also give someone a home, provide a home… Let me tell you, it’s selfish too because the reward has been extraordinary so no, we haven’t found any reason to stop yet.”

How do mom and dad get a minute alone? “Mom and dad are creative,” Brad said with a grin. Then he said with a laugh, “There are some dry spells. There are a few moments in the desert but mom and dad get very creative and we’re good. We have our ways.”

Congratulations to Hollywoods dumbest actor. This heralds a new era: The complete decline of the film industry.

Mickey Rourke or Sean penn will win. Through all the latest critics winners list they have surprisingly not even named Pitt or his movie.

Just go to awards daily because the mod their has been complaining about how Ben button doesn’t have the critics pushing it like she thought they would . She’s probably crying tears of joy over this joke of a Golden Globes list.

Milk deserved a nomination. What a slap. Fort prop 8 and now this! I hope this is not a harbinger for things to come with the Oscars and SAG awards.

Way to go, Brad and Angelina. Work for something that matters, be it as parents, actors or humanitarians. Don’t let a persistent leech bother you.

I hope both Brad and Angie win, that would be great!

Tom Cruise??? Uggghh!! Great… way to give him a reason to believe he is still relevant! What a joke!
